Question

Quality and safety in the process of fisheries

Answer 1

Good hygienic practices in the handling, manufacturing and transportation of fish and fish products, and adequate refrigeration throughout, can greatly reduce outbreaks of fish-borne illnesses. Measures that ensure high standards of quality and safety, by implication, will also reduce post-harvest losses. 

The International Organization for Standardisation, the worldwide federation of national standards bodies, defines 'quality' as "the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs" (ISO 8402). The quality of fish and fish products relies principally on safe, hygienically-produced products.
