The risks of contamination of finfish products with active pathogens largely depend on the type of product concerned and disposal methods of the importing country. Frozen fish used as bait or to feed high-value species present the greatest risk as vehicles of contamination because they are unprocessed. Freezing preserves viral- and some bacterial-pathogens, thus the use of such fish as bait can...

The effect of aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid (AA) on the rancidity development in Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage was studied. Cobia fillets were treated with ascorbic acid (AA 0.25% and AA 0.5%) then stored at -18°C up to 6 months. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices including free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), and thiobarb...

Among the extraction of aquatic biological resources in Far East and Russia as a whole, Pacific salmon occupy second place total catch fish. A feature physiology is pronounced transformations during period putina, namely, changes color, body shape, head, jaw curvature tooth enlargement, different mass indicators fish chemical composition muscle tissue. In this regard, differentiated approach ne...

BACKGROUND The catch of marine whitefish is typically seasonal, whereas the land-based processing industry has a need for all-year stable supply of raw materials. This challenge can be met by applying fish frozen at sea. When using frozen fish, the methods employed for thawing may influence the safety and quality of the final product. This study aimed to investigate the applicability of novel t...

A total of 298 fishery products purchased from retail outlets in Galicia (NW Spain) between January 2008 and May 2009 were analyzed for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus was detected in a significant proportion of products (~25%). Incidence was highest in fresh (43%) and frozen products (30%), but it was high in all other categories: salted fish (27%), smoked fish (26%), ready-to...

The semiwild beach-feeding bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops adunrus) of Monkey Mia, Western Australia, provide an unparalleled opportunity to examine prey preference of this species. In a series of binary-choice feeding experiments, we took advantage of the animals’ willingness to be fed by hand, to explore their preferences for fish species, size, and state (freshly caught or previously frozen). ...
