Author(s) : GIBBARD G.

Summary

IN ORDER TO BRING FISH TO THE VANCOUVER AND PRINCE RUPERT AREAS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, THE PROBLEM WAS THE DISTANCE (3,900 KM) OVER WHICH THE FISH HAS TO BE TRANSPORTED. HOLDING TIMES OF 11 TO 16 DAYS ARE REQUIRED ; WELL BEYOND THE NORMAL STORAGE PERIODS IN ICE OR RSW. USING A PARTIAL FREEZING TECHNIQUE 3.8 MILLION POUNDS OF SALMON COULD BE SUCCESSFULLY TRANSPORTED IN RSW. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THE CRITERIA WAS THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE VESSELS REFRIGERATION CAPACITY MUST BE ADEQUATE TO REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FISH TO 269.7 K (-3.3 DEG C) WITHIN 24 HOURS IN SALT REINFORCED SEAWATER. THE SALMON WERE CANNED AND GENERALLY PRODUCED A GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT.
