Improving farmed fi sh quality and safety
(ISBN 978-1-84569-299-5)
Fish farming enables greater control of product quality, but there have
been concerns about the levels of contaminants found in farmed
products. Their sensory and nutritional quality can also not equal that of
wild-caught fi sh. This important collection reviews potential negative
safety and quality issues in farmed fi sh and presents methods to improve
product characteristics. The fi rst part of the book discusses contaminants,
such as persistent organic pollutants and veterinary drug residues and
methods for their reduction and control. The second part addresses
important quality issues, such as genetic control of fl esh characteristics
and the effects of feed on product nutritional and sensory quality.
Improving seafood products for the consumer
(ISBN 978-1-84569-019-9)
Consumer health and well-being may potentially be improved by
consumption of health promoting, safe seafood products of high eating
quality. This book provides a convenient review of signifi cant fi ndings in
key areas of seafood research, with chapters authored by experts in the
fi eld. Consumer attitude to seafood products is fi rst discussed, followed
by chapters analysing important advances in the area of the health
benefi ts of seafood, for example the relationship between omega-3 fatty
acids and heart disease. Subsequent parts of the book discuss key topics
in seafood safety, advances in processing technologies and methods to
improve the quality of farmed fi sh.
Shellfi sh safety and quality
(ISBN 978-1-84569-152-3)
Shellfi sh are a very popular and nutritious food source worldwide and
their consumption has risen dramatically. Because of their unique nature
as compared to beef and poultry, shellfi sh have their own distinct aspects
of harvest, processing and handling. Edited by leading authorities in the
fi eld, this collection reviews issues of current interest and outlines steps
that can be taken by the shellfi sh industry to improve shellfi sh safety and
eating quality. Opening chapters consider microbial, biotoxin, metal and
organic contaminants of shellfi sh. Techniques to reduce contamination
are then discussed, such as mitigation of the effects of harmful algal
blooms. Chapters also address approaches to managing disease and other
methods to improve quality, such as improved packaging methods and
reduction of biofouling.
