Summary

STORAGE LIFE ON ICE BEFORE NOTICEABLE BROWNING OCCURRED WAS 12-14 DAYS FOR YELLOWFIN TUNA AND 7 DAYS FOR BONITO AND SKIPJACK TUNA. AT COLD STORAGE TEMPERATURES ABOVE 243 K (-30 DEG C) COLOUR DETERIORATION WAS VERY RAPID. A NEW PROCEDURE HAS BEEN DEVISED FOR PREPARING THE WATER EXTRACT NECESSARY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE RATIO OF MET-TO OXY-AND DEOXYHAEMOGLOBIN.
