Although it perhaps seems 'obvious'... they haven't seen an increase in viruses in water translate into a big increase in transmissible viruses in shellfish (yet?).
Oysters/norovirus is the classic example, the water/environment/oysters contain low-level norovirus, but there's been no data to suggest the norovirus risk from oysters has actually increased (it's stable).

I just found out hepatitis viruses in sewage can end up in shellfish. Yuck!!!
Yes they do put them in clean water before selling, and it's not the fault of the shellfish industry but you better cook them very well...
