INFLUENCE OF HANDLING AND SLAUGHTERING ON THE QUALITY OF FARMED FISH.

Summary

LITTLE RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE ON THE INFLUENCE OF PROCESSING, HANDLING, WASHING AND RINSING FISH. SOME STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT STRESS IN LIVING FISH HAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON PRE-RIGOR AND RIGOR TIME. MECHANICAL STRESS OF IN-RIGOR FISH MAY LEAD TO GAPING OF FILLETS AND SOFTER FLESH. RIGOR ALSO LEADS TO CONTRACTION OF THE FISH, WHICH CONSIDERABLY REDUCES THE LENGTH OF THE FILLETS.
