Start year 2010 End year 2013 Funding (€) € 1,069,345 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900454/ Summary "The project showed that better removal of slag and liver residues in existing lines is important to achieve better quality and probably also higher efficiency. Slog and liver residues that follow the fish into the salting process cause severe discoloration on the ridge. The mechanical cleaning in today's lines works poorly. A large part of the cleaning is therefore manual, which results in labor-intensive and inefficient production. Both shorter cooling time and lowering the temperature during cooling provide a clear increase in the quality of the backrest. The most obvious solution to the quality challenges and efficiency improvements will be to have machines that clean better, have greater capacity and perform all operations in the same machine.
Objectives:
• To obtain and disseminate existing and new knowledge about how different gear types and operating patterns affect the quality of wild-caught whitefish.
• To study the connections between harvesting strategy, quality and sustainable production.
• To uncover critical factors in raw material handling with regard to ensuring good blood collection of commercially important fish species on board vessels in various modes of operation.
• To contribute to a better understanding of the factors in raw material handling that are particularly important to ensure good bleeding of the raw material.
• To collaborate with other research environments (SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture) and equipment suppliers in the development of technology that opens the way for quality enhancement through better floundering on board the fishing vessels.
• To increase the knowledge base and further develop methods and technology for live capture, storage without feeding, slaughter and early, i.e. before death stiffness (pre rigor), processing of wild cod and haddock.
• Link knowledge from vessels and final product to develop a decision support system for vessels and production facilities to optimize quality and value of the final product.
• To meet increased demands for environmentally friendly food production (sustainable production).
• To provide an assessment of how parameters that describe sustainable production for the catching stage (by-catch, selectivity, fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions) are affected by the harvesting strategy (tools, catching field and season)."
