Safety and quality concerns associated with fish production
2010
Edun, O.M.
Global aquaculture production has grown rapidly over the last 50years. It is generally accepted that there is limited potential to increase traditional fisheries; consequently, increased aquaculture is required in order to maintain global per capita fish consumption at the present level. With nearly half of all fish eaten today coming from farms and some 12 million people dependent on fish farming for their daily income, ensuring that farmed fish products are safe to eat and of the highest possible quality is crucial. Most of the work reviewed in this article describes the safety and quality issues in farmed fish, implications for consumers and presents methods to improve product characteristics.
