Synopsis (short abstract) The status of Fish Handling and Processing in Thailand is reviewed with emphasis on current and future trends in the catch, its utilization, handling at sea and during distribution and fish processing in general. The conditions of shrimp processing factories and laboratory research work which includes icing, fermented fish production, the utilization of trash fish and mechanized drying, are all discussed. Mention is also made of the different types of smoked fish and their special processing m ethods. Traditional processing methods are becoming less important and emphasis is being given to more sophisticated techniques to meet the increasing demand for western type convenience products, according to the findings in this report. An inspection and quality control scheme for frozen shrimp and squid is recommended. Assessment of quality of products by taste-panel techniques should be further developed and it is also recommended that priority be given to long-term programmes of research on fish icing, continuing the research performed previously in determining the time/temperature tolerance for good quality products. It is suggested that basic research be undertaken in the biochemistry and microbiology of both fish sauce and fermented fish production. Mechanical drying of fish is also assessed as is the investigation of methods of packaging in plastic film to reduce reabsorption of water. Furthermore, means to prevent mould growth in unprotected salted and dried fish are exam ined. The recommendations for improvements given in this report are intended to be incorporated into the work of the Thailand Fisheries Technology Laboratory over the next five years.

Report to the government of Seychelles on oyster culture feasibility 1972

Also available in:

No results found.

The report gives an account of a survey in the Seychelles to determine the feasibility of large scale oyster culture and gives recommendations for an experimental pilot project based on the results of the findings. It is designed to determine the most efficient methods and techniques for rearing oysters under local conditions in amounts sufficient to meet the anticipated demands. Among the recommendations based on the survey are (1) to apply the most recent techniques and methods for production on a large scale of oyster culture on a commercial basis in several areas in Mahé, following certain basic conditions (2) that an oyster culture pilot project be established at Anse à la Mouche to determine the best and most efficient methods for producing oysters in amounts sufficient to meet future anticipated market demands (3) that a qualified shellfish expert be engaged to direct and supervise the project in collaboration with a government fisheries officer, four semi-skilled labourers and one fisherman/boatman. Two methods are given for obtaining young seed oysters with a suggested plan of operation and a proposed time schedule.

Small-scale Oyster Culture on the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia - BOBP/REP/63 1993

Also available in:

No results found.

This paper describes small-scale oyster culture trials carried out in the states of Kedah and Perak on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Rafts and longlines were found to be economically viable and the technology was transferred to fishermen. Spat of the slipper oyster, Crassostrea iredalei, were transplanted from the east coast of peninsular Malaysia to the west coast sites. Small-scale depuration units were established at farm sites and a series of market promotions successfully un dertaken. Hatchery seed production and remote setting were done by biologists and staff of the Fisheries Research Institute with assistance from temporarily hired field biologists. Artificial spat production was necessary to supplement short supplies of wild spat. Acknowledgement is due to the Director General of Fisheries, Malaysia, Dato Shahrom bin Haji Abdul Majid, for his kind support and permission to publish this paper. Thanks are also due to the Director of Research, Mr. Ong K ah Sin, for his guidance and encouragement, and to Messrs. Ng Fong Oon and Kamal Zaman for their contributions. The trials were undertaken from 1988 till mid-1993 as a BOBP subproject under the regional project “Small- scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal” (GCP/RAS/ll8/MUL) funded by DANIDA (Danish International Development Assistance) and SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority).
