Studies on Transportation of Fish I Packaging of Frozen Fish in Insulated Containers

Abstract

The paper deals with certain technological aspects of
transportation of fish. Frozen fish packed in thermocole insulated
plywood box (tea chests) and transported has been found to remain
in good condition, for 3 to 4 days. Fish reaching the destination in a
thawed state can be stored in crushed ice for a further period of 2-3
days. The effect of initial temperature of frozen fish on the storage
life, the maximum storage period for different types of frozen fish
packed in the insulated container and the changes in chemical and
organoleptic qualities of different varieties of fish under condition
of transport are also discussed.
