Fish: quality management of seafood - seafood production chain

7 important questions on Fish: quality management of seafood - seafood production chain

What are quality advantages of farmed fish?

  • Product quality consistency
  • capture is less stressful
  • on-shelf availability is higher
  • traceability of product
  • volume capability (you choose how much is produced)
  • allows diet and husbandry manipulation
    • color and flavour change
    • for specific health products
  • year round availability

Chain of custody (CoC) of seafood quality

Making sure producers are traceable
nondisputable business to business arrangement (onbetwistbaar)
  • legal comliance: regulation of illegal practices
    • IUU = illegal unreported and unregulated
    • CITES (endangered species preservation)
  • Food safety
    • HACCP, ISO-9000, toxic compound threshold

What are ASC and MSC?

ASC = (aquaculture stewardship council) a label for responsible produced aquacultured fish
MSC =  (marine stewardship council) a label for responsible captured marine fish

In seafood, there is open competition, what are differences?

Health claims are done
sensory quality differences
some fish are produced organically

What is the handling process for fish?

  • On board handling
    • sorting
    • quick preservation
  • gutting of the fish
    • removal of intestines
      • must be good! Better cleaned fish stay fresh longer
  • cooling
    • put on ice in boxes
    • ice must surround the fish
    • water should leak out

What should be done to keep fish fresh?

  • It must be cooled below 0 degrees as soon as possible
  • whole or gutted, should be processed quickly
  • fast delivery from ocean to plate

What are the advantages of aquaculture, (concerning freshness?)

  • Day fresh delivery to process station
  • less fish suffering -> less stress

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
