No results found.Fish and fish products are among the most traded food commodities: close to 40 percent by volume ends up in international markets. Yet around three-quarters of fish exports finish up in just three markets: the European Union, Japan and the United States of America. China is an increasingly important player both as an exporter and an importer. Consumers expect that the fish they have access to will be safe and of acceptable quality, regardless of where they are produced or ultimat ely consumed. This has given rise to issues regarding fish quality and safety, international trade, risk analysis and harmonization of standards. These and other issues are addressed in this document, which represents the proceedings of the Sixth World Congress on Seafood Safety, Quality and Trade held in Sydney, Australia from 14 to 16 September 2005.The Congress was held under the auspices of the International Association of Fish Inspectors, in collaboration with FAO and the Un ited Nations Industrial Development Organization. -
Book (series)Hygiene Requirements, Controls and Inspections in the Fisheries Marketing Chain / ???????? ?? ??????????? ?????????-????????????? ?????????? ? ?????????? ???????? ? ???? ???????????? ????????? ??????????? ? ???????????? 2013

No results found.Today, fish and fish products have become the most traded food items at international level. Therefore, effective controls and inspections in the fisheries marketing chain are of high importance in terms of food safety and consumer protection. Many countries are now enforcing more regulations and measures, taking into consideration internationally recognized good practices and handling and manufacturing standards related to hygiene and health legislation, including the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system. This circular is intended as an introduction to the hygiene requirements, controls and inspection of fresh fish, molluscs and crustaceans throughout the market chain between capture, or production in aquaculture, and the consumer. It is primarily targeted at mid-level government staff engaged in fish (or food) inspection. It is also intended for those involved in commercial operations of the capture and aquaculture sectors, who will be subjec t to inspection. Safety, quality and production management is of paramount importance to the fishery industry as fish and fishery products are particularly perishable. The safety and quality of seafood ultimately depends on its condition at capture or harvest, and how it is treated and stored before reaching the consumer. This might include such things as: coastal pollution; hygiene on board the fishing vessel, at the landing centre, and during transport, storage and marketing; and con tamination either by workers or the environment. -
ProjectUpgrading and Strengthening Capacity of the Government Fish Quality Control Laboratory in Eritrea - TCP/ERI/3703 2022

No results found.With fish exports increasing both in volume and variety, the Eritrean fish inspection and quality assurance authories face challenges regarding organization, resources, logistics and training in order to comply with the international quality requirements for exported fish Nevertheless, the maritime environment of Eritrea is very favorable for international trade and thus for local fisheries development The sustainable yield has been estimated as varying between 20 000 and 55 000 tonnes However, the significant decline of the fishery sector over recent decades has inevitably resulted in the loss of the institutional memory, skills and experience necessary for its management The current lack of appropriate inspection and quality assurance arrangements potentially puts at risk Eritrea’s lucrative seafood trade, which is developing rapidly, and traditional cured products, which are often a vital mainstay to the economies of some countries in the region Without clear trade channels being established, the development of promising export opportunities are not encouraged, which will inevitably have adverse impacts on agricultural productivity and endanger economic growth and the livelihoods of the vulnerable smallholder farmers dependent on this sector for their well being In addition, decreasing productivity substantially impacts regional and national food security Hence, this project aimed to support the acquisition of key equipment and reagents required to train laboratory staff from the government laboratory at Massawa to further develop their analytical skills, with a focus on microbiology, chemistry and general laboratory management, to facilitate efforts towards accreditation Eritrea was granted provisionary approval to start exporting fish and fishery products predicated on the Government laboratory meeting the international requirements, conditions and processes for export As part of a longer term investment in training, this project complemented previous support to the College of Marine Sciences and Technology ( and contributed to the MMR’s overall fish inspection capacity by specifically strengthening the Quality Control Laboratory ( to meet international requirements for fish export.
