    Chilled seawater systems are a comparatively recent innovation. The Consultant was familiar with progress made on the Pacific coast of Canada where the development of systems for salmon and herring transport and storage has been intensive and CSW systems are now the most common method for short-term preservation of fish. Several attempts were made to introduce the handling of sardine and mackerel in shallow plastic boxes, which is the standard procedure in the Mediterranean sardine industry, and quality results were excellent. This method of handling did not, howeve~ prove practical for commercial use since the fishermen are used to handling in bulk and on deck. Moreover, refrigerated seawater systems were unfeasible not only as the capital cost was prohibitive for installation in the small vessels (30-45 ft), but also because they presented technical problems of maintenance and operation beyond the capabilities of the fishermen. Thus, it appeared that a chilled seawater system would i deally suit the present conditions of the growing purse seine industry of southwest India

    The fish loss assessment methodology outlined by the Save Food Programme (FAO 2014) and with reference to earlier work by Ward & Jeffries (2000) and Diei-Ouadi Y, Mgawe Y I (2011) had been used to undertake assessments in different locations in Java where focus on particular fishing gears, fish species and products. These were major Fishery Products (focused on squid) in Muara Angke Fishing Port, North Jakarta, DKI Jakarta; Gillnet fisheries in Tegal, Central Java; Gillnet fisheries Gunung Kidul , Yogyakarta and Small Pelagic Processed Fish in Brondong, East Java selected for their role in terms of general fish supply/food security, employment, and indication of prevalence of gillnet fisheries. The objective was to develop an up-to-date and detailed understanding of different types of losses affecting food security and stakeholders’ livelihoods.
