Summary

The international fish trade has gained considerable importance in recent years, mainly due to changes in the limits of fishing areas. In addition, experts have predicted that world fish resources will increase in value. Refrigeration, therefore, has an important role to play, hence much improvements are needed in the freezing and transport of fish, including underutilised species. Even though refrigeration techniques on board and on land are fairly advanced, they must be modified and adapted to new conditions. Areas in which major advances can be made are as follows: one, improving fish quality; two, preserving a large variety of fish species, and three, saving energy. In several cases, current techniques employed are inadequate but they can nevertheless be improved by resorting to well known and proven techniques. Some important examples are cold storage, transport and frozen fish display. However, in other cases, namely in the production and distribution of minced and small portions of fish, there is a need to employ new techniques.
