No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Technical reportPlanning 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. -

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Technical studyFreezing and refrigerated storage in fisheries 1994
Also available in:
No results found.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.

BookletCorporate general interestThe Marshall Islands energy audits
The investment case for renewable energies and infrastructure upgrades in the Marshall Islands tuna sector
2025Also available in:
This document presents the case for a variety of investments to reduce energy use by onshore tuna processing and service companies in the Marshall Islands. It provides information about the costs, benefits and results from investments identified by audits of the quality and state of plant, equipment and infrastructure, and the related energy consumption of four onshore companies. Practical investment solutions, including the use of renewable energy, were identified to reduce energy costs, with most solutions and improvements requiring investments of between USD 25 000 to USD 1 750 000 and resulting in energy savings of 25-30 percent. Given the savings in energy costs, there is a strong investment case for such investments given short payback periods (months to a few years). The investment case is further supported by the reduced carbon footprint which would result from lower diesel use, potentially increasing interest by investors or corporate donors in investments as part of carbon offset portfolios. Similar audits could be conducted in other small islands developing states (SIDS) in the region, which also face challenges in terms of energy reliability and cost. -
Book (series)Technical studyClassification and definition of fishing vessel types 2023This technical paper constitutes an update on the 1985 FAO publication Definition and classification of fishery vessel types, and provides descriptions and classification of the main semi-industrial and industrial fishing vessel types: trawlers, purse seiners, seiners, dredgers, gillnetters, trap setters, longliners, pole-and-line vessels, trollers, multipurpose vessels. It also features vessels supporting fishing-related activities such as fish carriers, motherships, fisheries research vessels and vessels involved in aquaculture operations. Illustrations of most vessel types and drawings of the general arrangements of selected vessels are provided.
