No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Planning and Engineering Data. 1. Fresh Fish Handling 1981
Also available in:
No results found.Planning, including preparation of prefeasibility studies, and designing facilities and operations of fresh fish handling, storage, distribution and marketing is becoming Increasingly important in the countries developing their small, medium and/or large-scale fisheries industries. However, engineering data required for a successful planning are either scattered in numerous publications and therefore difficult to retrieve, or kept by consulting engineers in their private files, or just not readi ly available, in which case they have to be constructed or estimated every time they are needed. This document is the first attempt to present selected engineering data, in the specific subject matter field of fresh fish handling under a single cover. It is hoped that the work of the government authorities concerned with planning related to this specific subject matter field of fishery industries, as well as of consultants and other field workers involved, will be facilitated and become mor e uniform if they use this document. Major fields covered concern ice, its production, storage and use with fish, chill storage, insulated and non-insulated containers for fresh fish, in-plant transportation devices for fresh fish, as well as fish working premises. -

Also available in:
No results found.Fish canning is a method for industrial processing of raw fish and other edible aquatic products which, in a way, enables to keep the final product suitable for consumption at ambient temperatures over a longer period of time than any other commercial fish processing would do. This facilitates and consequently makes less expensive not only storage but also transport and other aspects of distribution of fishery products. On the other hand fish canning is a sophisticated and relatively expensive m ethod of commercial fish processing. The cost of fish canning under given local conditions depends on many factors such as, e.g., regular supply of reasonably priced raw material throughout a substantial part of the year, availability and cost of relatively sophisticated packaging material, availability, skill and cost of labour, cost of rather complex facilities, equipment, energy, services, etc. About 9 percent of world-wide harvested fishery products end up into canned products. This docume nt will provide the industry, especially in developing countries, with practical up-to-date data of technical and economic nature. It is published to assist the government offices as well as others involved in planning, elaboration of feasibility studies, or considering investments into fish canning industry. It should be also suitable as a training aid for specialized schools and training courses.The main subjects covered concern the food canning principles, raw materials suitable for canned fi sh products, the major products, canning techniques in general and specifically for tuna species, sardines and sardine-like fish, salmon, minced fish and shrimp. It also covers fish canning equipment, by-products, packaging and storage of canned products as well as services, labour and construction works required. Finally it gives cost information and indicates selected published material where more details can be found. It includes diagrams, layouts, flowsheets, figures and tables related to th e subject. -
DocumentArab Republic of Egypt, Red Sea fisheries. Part 1
A survey system for quick estimates of some sectors of the fishing industry
1982Also available in:
No results found.Integrated information on the infrastructure of the fishing industry can be easily obtained through the application of "Quick Estimates Surveys". Furthermore, the new strategy which had been adopted for carrying out these surveys, resulted in information that were more linked and more consistent, For instance, tables of the wholesale and retail prices besides the landed catch (by species) on the same day at Ataka and Port Tawfiq fishing sites, were the outcome of the application of this strategy . Frame Surveys showed that Suez is self-sufficient in fishing boats and ice. Detailed information on fishing craft is shown in the first eighteen tables. Catch Assessment Surveys, together with interviews that were held with the staff of the Fisheries Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Suez have proved that there is a temporary immigration of fishermen to Ataka during its fishing season (Mid Sept. - Mid June) from fisheries in other governorates. Besides, as a result of this survey, it can be c oncluded that Ataka is the most productive fishing site on the Red Sea. Results of Cost and Earning Surveys, which are very essential for investment investigation and studies, were tabulated in detail according to type of boats.
