ABSTRACTPlanning, 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 readily 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 more 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. |
