Pilot Trials to determine the benefits of high pressure processing (HPP) for seafood in the UK: Phase 1 Report
High pressure processing studies were carried out on 11 species of fish and shellfish in order to determine whether there were any potential processing benefits for the UK seafood processing industry. The species tested were: Nephrops norvegicus, mussels, oysters, crab, cold water prawns, lobster, warm water prawns, unsmoked salmon, squid, mackerel and cod. In each case, a 20-run experimental design was employed and six of the 20 runs (from a single design block) were evaluated for sensory quality compared with a control sample. After processing, all 20 runs were evaluated for survival of TVCs, coliforms and pseudomonads. In some products, measurements of yield were carried out to determine whether HPP offered any processing benefits, e.g. for peeling, picking or shucking of seafood. -
658 Pacific Oyster Protocol - Technical Report
The potential impact of wild Pacific oysters on local biodiversity is being raised as an issue that has to be considered in environmental assessments of both new farms and changes to practices by existing farms where they occur in wildlife protected areas. A FIFG-funded project has been carried out by Seafish which focuses on Pacific oyster cultivation in and around European Marine Sites. Working closely with industry and statutory nature conservation agencies, relevant background information was collated (Development of a Pacific oyster aquaculture protocol for the UK - Technical Report and a protocol proposed (Development of a Pacific oyster aquaculture protocol for the UK - Protocol template. Where there could be an impact on protected wildlife and/or marine habitats, husbandry and management techniques have been proposed to mitigate or eliminate any potential impacts. The project complements the ‘Memorandum of Understanding for Appropriate Assessments in European Marine Sites’ that was agreed between the SAGB and Natural England. -
