Need

An increase in the shelf life of low value fish, and therefore the consumers associated perceptions of freshness and quality, could result in increased consumption of these under utilised species, resulting in higher demand for the species and a higher return to the producer. This project would address aspects of the strategic challenges identified in the FRDC industry development plan. Specifically, making better use of under-utilised fish, and producing safe, high quality seafood.

As various producers in WA are exploring the use of MAP the knowledge of whether these organisms are present and the geographical spread of them is critical. Without this knowledge it is not possible to design an appropriate preservation, storage and packaging strategy that is specifically active against these spoilers.

Objectives

1. To assess the effectiveness of sanitising agents on fishing industry equipment and product.
2. To determine if shelf-life (as measured by the quality index) of selected finfish species can be extended with the use of sanitisers
