One now sees a worrying decline in the herring stock, while the mackerel stock is increasing. With today's large vessels and catches, however, the space-consuming processing and conservation will mainly be done at the onshore facilities. Rational and efficient cooling and freezing are the main basis for economical processing of pelagic fish. Even with many freezing facilities and surplus freezing capacity, changes in catch patterns and volumes from the vessels require rationalization of facilities with new technology. Today, the catching boats have become larger, which means landing larger quantities of fish, while the onshore facilities have not increased capacity. In order to maintain the quality of the fish, it is necessary to streamline the land facilities so that the time it takes from the fish to land and until it is completely frozen does not increase. The development of systems at future plants with conservation of volume over 1000 tonnes per day requires a significant increase in processing and freezing capacity, productivity and efficiency. Today's refrigeration system and freezers must be made more efficient and energy consumption must be reduced, possibly with the use of CO₂ as refrigerant for freezing. This project has aimed to contribute to the development of future technology for efficient and sustainable freezing of pelagic fish.
The results from this project can contribute to reduced operating costs with simple changes to the freezing routines and have pointed out which parameters are important to take into account when dimensioning new plants.
