The World Congress of Malacology was held at The University of Western Australia from 11 to 16 July 2004. Overall the congress was a huge success with over 300 delegates and 25 accompanying people from over 40 countries.

The FRDC sponsored symposium on Molluscan Fisheries and Aquaculture was one of the strengths of the congress. The original plan was to have the entire symposium on Tuesday with about 15 participants. However, there were so many papers that the sessions were resumed on Thursday and went until lunch time. In all there were 38 papers presented:  27 were oral and there were 11 posters. Registrants for this symposium came from all Australian States. Additionally, presenters came from the following countries: China, Denmark, France, Korea, Japan, Portugal, United Kingdom and United States. Dr Sandra Shumway of the University of Connecticut and editor of the Journal of Shellfish Research was the plenary speaker for the session.

13 papers have been published in the Journal of Shellfish Research.

Our main goal was to research and review existing programs and literature to determine the most appropriate and efficient method(s) of collecting and profiling nutritional information on an individual basis and also on large population samples. The outcomes of the first objective have allowed us to develop a suitable screening instrument, the SmartStart Food Recorder and the structure of the report to the individual.

We can confidently state that there is a definite need for a project such as this to make a positive contribution to the health of young Australians and to promote the benefits of ‘healthy’ foods like seafood to the general public. Based on the research component of this project, there is no program that can effectively screen the nutritional intake of an individual that is efficient, cost effective and the methodology of which can be applied to large population samples at a quality standard. Our project also has the potential to be linked with fitness and research assessments.
