The article proves that to achieve the targets set out in the documents, the following measures should be carried out: the development of coastal fishing, the introduction of innovation technologies and equipment at coastal enterprises, the creation of integrated enterprises for production and processing of aquatic organisms, the enhancement of export efficiency, the promotion of unloading fish products onto Russia’s shores.

These fish products went 57.6%), out of which 31 units (73.8%) are for sale, as well as for further processing at small vessels for coastal fishing; consequently, coastal enterprises. At that, it should be taken the supply of population and coastal plants into account that the products manufactured at with chilled fish reduced dramatically. Thirdly, sea or at shore-based fish factories from chilled the number of vessels, capable of processing raw fish are considered to be of higher quality wastes and substandard raw materials into and, as a rule, they are in great demand and fish meal and fat, decreased to 69 units (down have higher prices. to 25% of the total composition), the rest of Shore-based enterprises produced mostly the vessels thrown waste and fish unsuitable the types of products impossible or difficult to for food production overboard.

It has been established that fish food can act as vehicle for transmission of some mycological pathogens especially in immunocompromised individuals. Methods: Between 7th October 2011 and 5th January 2012, a total of 100 different species of smoke-dried fish comprising 20 each of Cat fish (Arius hendeloti), Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), Stock fish (Gadus morhua), Mud fish (Neoxhanna galaxiidae) and Bonga fish (Enthalmosa fimbriota) were processed and investigated for possible fungal contamination based on culture isolation using Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and microscopy. Results: Organisms isolated and identified in pure culture were Mucor spp. (36%), Aspergillus niger (35%), Aspergillus fumigatus (6%), Candida tropicalis (3%), Candida stellatoidea (2%), Microsporum audunii (2%), Penicillium spp. (2%), and Trichophyton rubrum (1%) while Mucor spp. and Aspergillus niger (4%); Mucor spp. and Candida tropicalis (3%); Aspergillus fumigatus and Mucor spp. (1%); Aspergillus niger, Candida spp. and Mucor spp. (1%) were isolated in mixed culture.

(average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: There was something intangibly magical about Lapland. Maybe it was the midnight sun, the endless rugged tundra, or the welcoming nature of the Sami people. All I know is that there was a true sense of Arctic magic everywhere I went, especially when I met an indigenous Sami family on their reindeer farm. As we explored the farm, they introduced me to their way of life and traditions dating back thousands of years. I was saddened to hear that their ancient culture is under threat from two forces: the construction of an Arctic Railway through Sami territory and Sami youth deviating from their traditional lifestyle. You’ll hear about these challenges as well when you meet with a Sami family on their reindeer farm. In the regions I travel to around the world, the stories of the people who live and work there are the most distinct and poignant experiences. You’ll meet with a local educator in Oslo to hear about July 22, 2011—the harrowing terrorist attack on this city—and their personal account of this day.

    unuftp.is Final project 2015 THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT RAW MATERIALS AND GEL FORMING CONDITIONS ON THE QUALITY OF FISH CAKES FROM MINCED REDFISH Tran Thi Huyen Faculty of Food Technology, Nha Trang University 02 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Nha Trang, Vietnam [email protected] Supervisors: Sigurjon Arason University of Iceland and Matis, Iceland [email protected] Paulina Elzbieta Wasik Matis, Iceland [email protected] ABSTRACT Nowadays, fish cakes are not only popular products in Asian markets but also consumed widely in many countries in the world. Shortage of fresh fish for producing fish cakes has been a great concern of producers. This study aimed to evaluate quality of fish cakes prepared from fresh redfish mince (January 2016), 1-month old frozen redfish mince (December 2015) and 6- month-old frozen redfish mince (July 2015) and in forming conditions of chilled temperature (0 – 4 °C) and room temperature (18 - 20°C) during 4 weeks under chilled storage. The sampling points were 0, 2 and 4 weeks. Results indicated that there were no significant differences in sensory scores, pH, breaking force, hardness of fish cakes made from fresh redfish mince compared to those made from frozen redfish mince. Shear force of fish cake made from fresh mince was higher than that from frozen mince. The different forming conditions did not cause changes in colour, pH, and lipid compounds of fish cakes (with an exception for TBARS value). Forming at 18 – 20 °C brought higher breaking force and shear force of fish cakes than those formed at 0 – 4 °C. Breaking force and hardness increased after second week of storage.

  • Environment and Political Economy on the North Aral Sea, Kazakhstan
    Sea changes: environment and political economy on the North Aral Sea, Kazakhstan William Wheeler Department of Anthropology Goldsmiths College, University of London Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 I, William Wheeler, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. All photographs and maps are, unless otherwise indicated, my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The Aral Sea regression is globally famous as a devastating ecological disaster, though recently a dam has led to the partial restoration of the North Aral. These ecological changes have overlapped with the collapse of the USSR and resultant political-economic transformations. From ethnographic fieldwork in Aral’sk and fishing villages, and archival research, I argue that the sea’s regression and partial return cannot be analytically separated from political-economic processes of socialism and postsocialism. This study of the entanglements of environmental and political-economic change has, I suggest, implications for anthropological engagements with climate change. Chapter 1 offers narratives of Soviet irrigation policies (which caused the regression) and of the construction of a socialist fishery, arguing that similar political-economic processes drove both. Chapter 2 explores official responses to the regression, especially importing ocean fish for processing in Aral’sk, and sending fishermen to fish elsewhere in Kazakhstan. Chapters 3 and 4 explore how these practices, and their cessation after the collapse of the USSR, shape local understandings of the regression. I thus decentre the environmental disaster narrative.

  • Preservation of Marine Products by Salting and Drying
    PRESERVATION OF MARINE PRODUCTS BY SALTING AND DRYING by NORYATI ISMAIL (M.Sc., University of Nottingham) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES March 1990 UNIVERSITY OF N.S.W. 2 1 MAk 1991 LIBRARY ABSTRACT Dried, salted morwong, shark and sardine salted in saturated brine at 30°C and dried at different temperatures under ambient RH were prepared. Dried squid was prepared without salting. Salt uptake was very rapid and highest in shark followed by morwong and sardine. Moisture loss was highest in sardine followed by shark and morwong. Squid attained the highest drying rates amongst all the species and at 50°C its rate was the highest followed by shark, morwong and sardine. A drying temperature of 50°C gave a compromise between product quality and drying rates. Lightly salted products were significantly (p < 0.01) prefe^ed in all species. Products dried at lower temperatures were significantly more acceptable (p < 0.01) for shark and sardine but not for morwong and squid. Products salted for 8h (morwong and sardine) 4h (shark) and non-salted (squid) and dried at 50°C were used for storage studies. Storage at 5°C was superior to that at 25°C or 37°C in terms of product appearance, browning, rancidity, moisture loss, product texture and rehydration behaviour. The effects of salting, drying and storage on the protein properties were demonstrated by decreased protein solubility in KCl and SDS + B mercoptoethanol, disappearance and lost intensity of some bands in the IEF pattern of water soluble proteins in all the species.
