The potential and problems of food harvest from the oceans
1967
Green, J. H.
There is a rich potential source of food in the sea to help supply protein to the world's needs. The problems associated with the fishing industry are many and complex. Problems of preservation of the fisherman's catch are directly connected to proper sanitation practices and the control of microorganisms. To solve these problems for the trawl fisherman, several projects are underway at the Gloucester Technological Laboratory which consider industrial sanitation type improvements and steps to govern microbial outgrowth by use of antimicrobial agents. These projects are concerned with the application of gamma irradiation by different types of colbalt-60 irradiators, the improvement of vessel and shore handling procedures, the use of antimicrobial agents, and even by special innovations in shipping containers and principles. These projects are discussed with their special aspects of sanitation and microbial control. The fishing industry is learning from the experience of other food industries and hopes to greatly extend the shelf-life of fishery products by application of improved industrial sanitary practices and by the control of microorganisms.
