Trials to Investigate the Effect of Onboard Hopper & Conveyor Systems on Fish Quality

Summary

With concern that the deep fish reception hoppers and associted elevators for mechanised handling of the catch on whitefish vessels could be affecting fish quality two sea trips were carried out on Scottish seners/trawlers during September 1997 to take fish samples for assessment at processing. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.
