Summary The object of this project is to improve the process in line boats, by reducing production costs, improve work conditions and product quality. The intention is to carefully observe the process from the bating of the line and until the fish is packed in the containers it is landed in. Technical solutions for the process line will be developed at, that influence quality such as blooding, handling and cooling. The aim is to re-design and improve the processing machinery that is currently in general use, in addition to designing from scratch devices in parts of the processing that until now have not been adequately equipped. The vision of the project is to increase opportunities for line fishing. Line fishing is generally concerned as more environmentally friendly than towing as well as delivering a better product. The fish industry has increasingly turned to line fishing, mainly because of two aspects, increasing oil prices and increased demands from the markets for quality products and environmentally aimed fishing and processing. Environmental issues are here on one hand less oil usages and the other hand less impact on the marine biosphere.
