                       MOLLUSCAN GLOSSARY
 
 
Purpose:
 
This multilingual glossary is to assist the FDA Import Entry
Reviewer in cross referencing with the English language the names
of the most common molluscan shellfish products.
 
The fifteen languages for cross referencing molluscan products are
as follows:
 
     D = German     DK = Danish         E = Spanish
     F = French     GR = Greek          I = Italian
    IS = Icelandic   J = Japanese       N = Norwegian
    NL = Dutch      NZ = New Zealand    P = Portuguese
     S = Swedish     T = Turkish       YU = Serbo-Croat
                                      (Yugoslavian)
 
The glossary represents an extensive, although not necessarily
complete listing of molluscan shellfish sold in the United States.
 
The references used in determining the various languagues include
Multilingual Dictionary of Fish and Fish Products from the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Five
Language Dictionary of Fish, Crustaceans and Molluscs published by
AVI-Van Nostrand Reinhold.
