An ancient basin for fish preservation in Tyritake, Crimea A fish-drying rack in Norway. Fish preservation is the method of increasing the shelf life of fish and other fish products by applying the principles of different branches of science in order to keep the fish, after it has landed, in a condition wholesome and fit for human consumption.
Ice baths or chilling of farmed fish on ice or submerged in near-freezing water is used to dampen muscle movements by the fish and to delay the onset of post-death decay. However, it does not necessarily reduce sensibility to pain; indeed, the chilling process has been shown to elevate cortisol. In addition, reduced body temperature extends the ...
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a total of 156.2 million tons of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic animals were captured in 2011. This is a sum of 93.5 million tons of wild animals and 62.7 million tons of farmed animals. 56.8% of this total was freshwater fish, 6.4% diadromous fish, and 3.2% marine fish, with the remainder being molluscs, crustaceans ...
Fish barn with fish drying in the sun – Van Gogh 1882. Fresh fish rapidly deteriorates unless some way can be found to preserve it. Drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the food, which inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Open air drying using sun and wind has been practiced since ancient times to ...
Fish chilling with slurry ice. Slurry ice can boost by up to 200% the cooling efficiency of existing cooling or freezing brine systems without any major changes to the system (i.e. heat exchanger, pipes, valves), and reduce the amount of energy consumption used for pumping.

Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization or cryodesiccation, is a low temperature dehydration process [16] that involves freezing the product and lowering pressure, thereby removing the ice by sublimation. [17] This is in contrast to dehydration by most conventional methods that evaporate water using heat. [18]
This evening, a strong cold front will move through Central Florida. Behind it, temperatures will fall quickly thanks to a brisk wind funneling cold air from the north. Because of this, we have ...
