Other documentStorage, processing and distribution of fish 1971

No results found.The principal common factor of the Indian Ocean countries is geographical: they all border on the same body of water, and they can and should share perennially in its benefits. Low purchasing power is a factor to a greater or lesser extent hindering the increase of fish or fish products consumption in most of the Indian Ocean countries. Mass production is one answer to this problem; but if the resources of the waters are limited, other solutions must be sought in better storage, processing, and distribution techniques. Continuing detailed statistical studies should be undertaken, and the study of the economic effects of each planned investment should precede actual spending in order to avoid unneeded or excess facilities. Improved lines of communication can change patterns of distribution and storage, though the trade in fish products alone can rarely justify heavy capital expenditure such as a new or resurfaced road. Most traditional processing is done to avoid losses on unsold fish, not necessarily to enhance the value of the fish. Better techniques to process fish and eliminate much spoilage do not require heavy investment and can be effectively utilised in small-scale home or workshop industry. Improved handling of fish on board and ashore can eliminate wastage and provide a more wholesome products. Regulation of handling and processing conditions is essential, particularly for products intended for export. Traditional practices to some extent restrict the growth of fishe ries industries. Cooperatives, if well financed and guided, can help in integrating the industry. International trade among Indian Ocean countries, as well as export trade from them to industrialised countries, can be profitable and help to provide better supplies for local populations. -
Other documentMarkets for fish meal in the Near East Region 1978
Also available in:
No results found.At its Fifth Session, held in Cochin, 19-26 October 1977, the Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission (IOFC) recognized that, whilst every priority should be given to the use, wherever possible, of fish for direct human food, in some instances the reduction of certain species to fish meal might be the only way at the present time of getting a viable fishery started. Especially where small shoaling pelagic species are concerned it would appear that, until considerably more work is done on fish processi ng technology and market development, the only processing method presently suitable for handling high volume catches is conversion to fish meal and oil. In particular, it seems unlikely that in the foreseeable future the mesopelagic stocks of the Arabian Sea will be useable primarily for direct food purposes. At the same time, many of the countries in the Near East region are placing high emphasis upon the development of domestic poultry produce industries and are likely to have rapidly expandin g requirements for fish meal. With these factors in mind the International Indian Ocean Fishery Survey and Development Programme commissioned the following report in an attempt to identify the nature and potential size of such regional markets for fish meal whose requirements might, at least in part be satisfied by fish meal produced by reduction industries based in the Near East region itself.
