EFfECT OF BOX STOWAGE 0N QUALITY OF fiSH

Abstract

Quality of boxed cod and haddock was compared with
that of penned fish in terms of organoleptic grading, trimethylamine
values, Intelectron Fish Tester readings and fish and
fillet yield. Boxed fish showed a higher percentage of grade
one fish than penned fish. TMA values, however, did not
differ greatly. There was less physical damage due_ to
squeezing with boxed fish and consequently a greater yield of
landed round fi~h and fillets.
