The storage life of iced southern blue whiting (Micromesistius australis)

A Resolution to the Blue Whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) Population Paradox?

We provide the strongest evidence to date supporting the existence of two independent blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou (Risso, 1827)) populations in the North Atlantic. In spite of extensive data collected in conjunction with the fishery, the population structure of blue whiting is poorly understood. On one hand, genetic, morphometric, otolith and drift modelling studies point towards the...

Chilled storage of high-pressure and heat-induced gels of blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) muscle

QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF BLUE WHITING (Micromesistius poutassou) DURING CHILLED STORAGE BY MONITORING LIPID DAMAGES

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Different kinds of lipid damage indices (peroxide value, conjugated diene index, thiobarbituric acid index, free fatty acids content, polyene index and fluorescent compounds formation) were studied during the chilled storage (0oC) of a lean fish species (blue whiting, Micromesistius poutassou) and compared to total volatile base-nitrogen content (...

Larval anisakids parasitizing the blue whiting, Micromesistius poutassou, from Motril Bay in the Mediterranean region of southern Spain.

A total of 301 blue whiting, Micromesistius poutassou Risso, 1826, ranging in length from 17 to 28 cm, from Motril Bay (Mediterranean coast, south Spain) were examined for anisakid nematodes, as these fish are common items in the Spanish Mediterranean diet. Three anisakid species were morphologically identified with a total prevalence of 10.63%. Anisakis simplex s.l. Rudolphi, 1809 had a preval...

Arsenolipids in oil from blue whiting Micromesistius poutassou – evidence for arsenic-containing esters

Arsenic-containing lipids in the oil from the blue whiting fish (Micromesistius poutassou) were separated into three broad polarity groups and investigated by HPLC and mass spectrometry. A total of 11 arsenolipids including 4 new compounds were identified. The polar lipid fraction constituting 24% of the total arsenolipid content (which totalled 2.16 μg As/g) contained four known dimethylarsino...
