Synopsis (short abstract) The paper covers all aspects of the use of ice for the chilling and storage of fish. Following a review of fish spoilage, the nature and properties of ice are described. Ice manufacturing and storage equipment are outlined from both technical and economic viewpoints. Chilling of fish on land and at sea, including the use of chilled sea water, is described in detail, and a series of calculations of ice requirements and losses in storage are given.

    Planning and Engineering Data. 1. Fresh Fish Handling 1981

    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.

    This document is intended to serve as a background paper as well as an introduction to the operations and equipment used in the freezing and cold storage of fish both on shore and at sea. It gives a broad outline on how deterioration of fish quality can be reduced by the application of low temperatures. It reviews various types of freezing equipment for use ashore or at sea; the requirements for cold stores and their construction; the factors affecting cold storage conditions, etc. In addition, the publication describes the methods used to calculate cold storage refrigeration loads as well as the costs of freezing and cold storage. Safe operation of cold stores is also covered. A list of publications on the subject is given in the list of references.
