| | Pacific oyster (Crassosrea gigas) and in other bivalve species |
| | 9 Update and assess the current information on the effects of contaminants on the immune |
| | system in fish and shellfish.27 |
| | 10 Produce an update of current information on sea lice interactions between wild and farmed fish |
| | and examine progress made in related management control methods in ICES Member Countries |
| | 11 Provide guidance on the applicability of the various available ‘health indices’ for the |
| | interpretation of data obtained from biological effects monitoring activities and associated research |
| | studies using pathology and disease endpoints |
| | 12 Evaluate the availability of data for a risk assessment pilot study on population effects due to |
| | diseases in wild fish, using epidemiological methods and population dynamics modelling. |
| | 13 Assess the results of the ICES/OSPAR Workshop on Integrated Monitoring of Contaminants and |
| | their Effects in Coastal and Open-Sea Areas (WKIMON) to resolve any outstanding issues and, |
| | together with WGMS, MCWG, and WGSAEM, finalise a draft set of guidelines for integrated |
| | monitoring for OSPAR [OSPAR 2005/6] |
| | 14 To prepare data on the prevalence and type of fish diseases by ICES rectangle for the period |
| | 1984 to 2004 where available. The data should be submitted to the secure REGNS website in |
| | preparation for the REGNS Integrated Assessment Workshop from 9–11 May 2005 |
