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. -

No results found.The need for developing suitable feeds based on locally available inexpensive ingredients has been widely recognized. Since lack of trained personnel is the main constraint in the development of fish feed technology in developing countries, the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme (ADCP) organized a special training course in fish feed technology at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, with a view to forming a small corps of fish feed specialists wh o could then be the focal points for future feed development programmes in their respective countries. The first report of the training course was presented in the report ADCP /REP/79/8. This present volume represents the edited texts of lectures presented by different specialists. Some additional material has been included for more complete coverage of the subject. Together, these texts may be considered to constitute a manual on fish feed technology, even though they were not prepared for that purpose. Twenty-six papers are included, under the general headings: (1) Digestion, physiology and anatomy; (2) nutritional bioenergetics; (3) nutritional biochemistry; (4) feedstuffs; (5) feed formulation; (6) feed manufacturing technology; (7) practical diets; and (8) quality control. Appendices include conversion tables, electrical data, and details on pelletability of selective feedstuffs, pellet die specifications, and equipment requirements for an 8 ton an hour feed mill. -

Pelagic Fishery Investigation on the South-West Coast, India, IND/75/038
1980Also available in:
No results found.A review is made in this report of the resources of India from which national can be derived in terms of employment, nutritional needs and increased fishermen's as well as showing the viability of canning with reasonable returns on investment. The seafood industry in India has recorded a phenomenal growth in the course of the last 15 years, due almost entirely to investment by the shrimp processing sector, most productI/qf which are exported. Export earnings registered an impressive growth f rom Rs. 37.5 crore- in 1962 to a record of Rs. 1 797.3 crore in 1977. This represents an increase of nearly 50 times the 1962 value in 15 years. Frozen shrimp has been the main contributing factor and in 1977 accounted for 72 percent of the quantity and 87 percent of the value of seafood exports.
