Direct slaughter of cod (no bleeding step before gutting onboard) reduced the quality of cod raw materials and also reduced the quality of dried salted cod, increasing the ""Universal"" quality category (definition of fish with sub optimal quality) from 10 to 25 %. Another quality error detected was incorrect cutting during gutting of cod (cut on the wrong side of the gut fins). This error resulted in quality and price reduction (""Universal"" quality) for 35 % of the catch. The results show that error made during catch and handling onboard can significantly affect the quality of dried salted cod, also reducing the price of the products. The extent of errors could be reduced by obtaining closer contact between fleet and processors where quality of the cod raw materials can be discussed and errors corrected if possible.
Goals:
(1) Document variations in catch and handling onboard with focus on bleeding practices; (2) Document the effects on quality and yields when processing sub optimal raw materials; (3) Detect which factors in onboard handling the affect the quality of dried salted cod; (4) Implement the new knowledge in the Norwegian fishery and processing industry."
