Course Description:

The course tackles the different methods used to harvest, slaughter and process farmed fish and the factors that can affect the preservation of the quality of the products. The methods used for freshness evaluation are then discussed. This is followed by different methods to preserve the products and add value (freezing, salting, drying and smoking). The course puts also an emphasize on hygiene and micro-organisms in food. A brief overview of products certification and labelling is given with a focus on organic aquaculture. Risk assessment and risk management according to the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) are finally discussed in the context of aquaculture production and food safety.
