DAGBJARTSSON Icelandic Fisheries Laboratories Reykjavik, Iceland REPORT OF A PROJECT ORGANIZED AND SUPERVISED BY THE JOINT F AO/IAEA DIVISION OF ATOMIC ENERGY IN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY VIENNA, 1971 RADURIZATION OF SCAMPI, SHRIMP AND COD IAEA, VIENNA, 1971 STI/DOC/lO/124 Printed by the IAEA in Austria April 1971 FOREWORD In January 1968 an agreement was reached in Vienna by representatives of the Governments of the United States of America, Iceland and the Inter- national Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to undertake a survey project on the use of ionizing radiation for extending the storage life of seafoods. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC) provided an irradiator for a period of eighteen months. The irradiator, originally used on the US Bureau of Fisheries exploratory vessel M.V. Delaware, was furnished with a new cobalt-60 radiation source at the Brookhaven National Laboratories (BNL). It was assembled and installed on the ground floor of the Icelandic Fisheries Laboratories (IFL), Reykjavik, under the super- vision of Mr. B. Sylvester of BNL. The activity of the source was approxi- mately 35 000 Ci. The project was started in July 1968. The IFL furnished laboratory facilities, rawmaterial, manpower and other services. The IAEA granted fellowships for training two scientific staff members of the IFL in the ir- radiation of foods and the operation of irradiation facilities. It was also agreed that the IFL would accept and provide facilities for IAEA Fellowship holders, from various countries, who would participate in the project as scientific co-workers. The average stay was for two months. The USAEC provided a fisheries irradiation expert, Mr. J.D. Kaylor of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Gloucester, Mass., who stayed at the IFL from 16 June to 16 July 1968. Under his supervision the ground- work was laid for satisfactory radiation safety procedures in co-operation with Dr. G. Jónsson, Director of the Icelandic Radiological Health Labora- tory. Mr. Kaylor was also occupied in training and familiarizing the scien- tific staff members in radiation calibration and dose determinations. The main objective of the survey was to demonstrate whether radiation preservation is practical under the type of conditions that exist in the fishing industry and trade in Iceland. As the domestic market in Iceland is very limited, it is important to export as much of the seafood catch as possible. Most of the catch is salted, dried or frozen. Nevertheless a considerable quantity, amounting to 30 000 - 40 000 tonnes, of iced fish such as whitefish (e.g. cod and haddock) and herring is shipped annually to the United Kingdom and Continental markets, where it is sold in the fresh state. Because some of this iced fish arrives in an unsaleable condition, it seemed desirable to determine whether the storage life of fresh Icelandic seafoods could be extended by radiation preservation beyond what is attained by icing. No attempts as yet have been made to market fresh, iced lobster, shrimp and other shellfish because of lack of satisfactory preservation techniques. The investigation was concentrated on one species of fish, cod, and two crustacean species, scampi (Norway lobster tails) and deep-sea shrimp. The results showed that the storage life of cod fillets at 0°-l°C, ir- radiated at a dose level of 2 X 105 rad, could be extended by a factor of about 3, namely up to 19 days for trawl cod and 24 days for line cod. The market life of blanched shrimp and scampi, irradiated at a dose level of 1 X 105 to 2 X 105, could be increased to about 6 weeks when stored at 0°-l°C; this is about twice the market life for unirradiated specimens. Clearly these results could have commercial importance. The authors of this report express their gratitude to the organizations who enabled the work to be undertaken, and to the many scientists who participated in the project. CONTENTS PART I.

INTRODUCTION The project began in the midsummer of 1968 after installation, testing and calibration of the irradiator [1] . At that time of the year Icelandic fisheries are based mainly on white- fish and herring. However, this is also the high season for lobster. The lobster season lasts from June until September. The main whitefish season (cod, haddock, etc.) is from January until May. It was therefore felt logical to start the irradiation project with the lobster, which was readily available. The species of lobster which lives in the waters off Iceland is the Norway or Dublin lobster, whose scientific name is Nephros norvegicus. Norway lobsters and particularly the shelled tail-meats have become known as scampi. The lobster is found in the Faeroes and off Iceland, it ranges from the coasts of Norway, Scotland and Ireland to the Mediterranean. The lobster is fished commercially in Iceland using rather small boats by means of a specially designed light lobster trawl. On board the boats the head and carapace, with claws and legs attached, is twisted off and dis- carded leaving only the unshelled tails to be iced until landed. The amount of meat in the claws is very small and at present is not salvaged. Also the separation is carried out because the digestive glands in the dead, whole lobster would rapidly break down the edible flesh. The use of refrigerated seawater for preservation of lobster tails has not given good results, pri- marily because of difficulty in controlling the proper ratio of ice to sea- water. The iced lobster tails are processed as soon as possible, i.e. washed, degutted by a mechanical device, graded as to size, wrapped in parchment and packed in 5-lb wax boxes, and frozen in plate freezers. This product is the highest priced and most sought after. Deformed, broken and dis- coloured tails are panfrozen to be deshelled during off-season, and fetch a substantially lower price. Lobster fishing is a new branch of the Icelandic fishing industry and is localized on the southwest coast. The mean annual catch during 1960-66 was about 3000 metric tons of whole lobster. Prime lobster tails are sold wholesale for $3.55 per kg after packaging and freezing. Compared with other seafood products the price is very high and obviously it is essential that product losses be kept at the absolute minimum. Lobsters [2] have a relatively short storage life compared with other iced fish products. The chief spoilage patterns can be characterized as follows: (1) black colour (melanosis) formation, also known as "black spot"; (2) rapid and high ammonia and trimethylamine (TMA) production; and (3) microbial spoilage [3] . Black colour formation is caused by auto-oxidation of certain chromo- genes of the phenolamine type [4] which in turn are caused by enzymatic breakdown of proteins. 1 Measures to prevent the formation of black colour include both chemical and physical means. Chemicals such,as ascorbic, citric and tartaric acids, sulphites and ordinary salt have been used as dips or incorporated in ice[3,4] . One of the most effective and simple ways to prevent melanosis is by blanching in boiling water. By blanching is implied dipping the product in boiling water for a specified short time. The term precooking is also used in this connotation, particularly for shrimp. No significant data are available which account for deteriorative changes causing spoilage in raw lobster. There are, however, several indications that they follow the general pattern for crustaceans [3, 5] . Like other crustaceans, lobsters are characterized by a relatively high content of mono-aminonitrogen.

Nurullah1and M.A. Mazid1 Department of Fisheries Technology, Bangladesh Agricultural Uriiversity, Mymensingh 2202, Bangladesh 1Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Mymensingh 2201, Bangladesh *Cot7'esponding author Abstract Studies were conducted on biochemical changes in P. monodon and M. rosenbergii during ice storage. At the end of 10 days of ice storage, moisture and protein content of freshwater prawn slightly decreased from 78.34 to '77.35% and 18.46 to 17.10, respectively, while lipid and ash content slightly increased. The moisture, crude protein, lipid and ash content of one day ice stored tiger shrimp samples were 78.07, 18.06, 1.3 and 1.29% respectively. The protein composition of freshwater prawn immediately after killed were 36.51% sarcoplasmic, 44.63% myofibrillar, 8.12% stroma and 6.44% alkali soluble protein. At the end of 10 days of ice storage, sarcoplasmic and storma protein slightly decreased while there was little ot no changes observed in myofibrillar and alkali soluble protein. In case of one day ice stored tiger shrimp, the composition of protein were 35.32% sarcoplasmic, 46.29% myofibrillar, 7.86% stroma protein and 7.08% alkali soluble protein. At the end of 10 days in ice, sarcoplasmic protein decreased from 35.32% to 32.16% while there was slight change in other protein fractions. The TVB-N value of 1 day ice stored shrimp was 10.5 mg/100g of sample.

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.

Honculada Primavera Aquaculture Department Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines 5021 Tel 63-33-271009 Fax 63-33-271008 Presented at the Nautilus Institute Workshop on Trade and Environment in Asia-Pacific: Prospects for Regional Cooperation 23-25 September 1994 East-West Center, Honolulu Abstract Production of farmed shrimp has grown at the phenomenal rate of 20-30% per year in the last two decades. The leading shrimp producers are in the Asia-Pacific region while the major markets are in Japan, the U.S.A. and Europe. The dramatic failures of shrimp farms in Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia and China within the last five years have raised concerns about the sustainability of shrimp aquaculture, in particular intensive farming. After a brief background on shrimp farming, this paper reviews its environmental impacts and recommends measures that can be undertaken on the farm, 1 country and regional levels to promote long-term sustainability of the industry. Among the environmental effects of shrimp culture are the loss of mangrove goods and services as a result of conversion, salinization of soil and water, discharge of effluents resulting in pollution of the pond system itself and receiving waters, and overuse or misuse of chemicals. Recommendations include the protection and restoration of mangrove habitats and wild shrimp stocks, management of pond effluents, regulation of chemical use and species introductions, and an integrated coastal area management approach.

  • Optimization of Quality and Yield of Stockfish by End- Drying in Climatic Controlled Storage
    OPTIMIZATION OF QUALITY AND YIELD OF STOCKFISH BY END- DRYING IN CLIMATIC CONTROLLED STORAGE Erlend Indergård (a), Sjurdur Joensen (b), Kristina Norne Widell (a) (a) SINTEF Ocean AS, Seafood Technology Trondheim, 7010, Norway, [email protected] (b) Nofima Marin Tromsø, 9291, Norway, [email protected] ABSTRACT Stockfish is gutted and de-headed unsalted fish, and airdried outdoor by hanging on racks. Cod (Gadus morhua) is the high-quality stockfish product and is dominant in volume. After outdoor drying from March, the stockfish is taken down from the racks in May/June, and normally end-dried in traditional warehouses with open gates to the surrounding air. New warehouses with controlled temperature and humidity has been built, and optimal storage air parameters have been established. Industrial test has been performed over two seasons at seven industrial producers, with comparison of quality and yield at different warehouses. By using controlled temperature at 2-4°C and relative humidity at 88-90%, it was shown that the stockfish quality was higher and the sales weight of this high cost product increased by 5-10%, compared with traditional methods. Another consequence was increase in quality and yield after rehydration, which is beneficial for the customers. Technical aspects of the heat pump system in controlled warehouses is discussed. Keywords: Stockfish, Cod, End-drying, Warehouse, Refrigeration, Heat pump, Quality, Yield. 1. INTRODUCTION Stockfish from Lofoten ('Tørrfisk fra Lofoten'(IGM)) has been an important export food product from Norway since the 10th century, where Italy is the main market. Today, the annual production of stockfish is above 1000 tons.

  • 2015 November
    SONS OF NORWAY BERNT BALCHEN LODGE – PRESIDENT’S MEssAGE The Great Lutefisk Mystery The big day is coming. The day many Norwegian- Americans in the Anchorage area look forward to with eager anticipation. It is the day when they will have an opportunity to eat large quantities of a quivering, gelatinous fish that has a slight chemical taste. That day is November 14 when Bernt Balchen Lodge will serve two VIKING HALL 349-1613 Lutefisk and Lefse Dinners. One dinner will be at 4:00 pm; www.sofnalaska.com the other at 7:00 PM. Not only will there be mass quantities of lutefisk; there will also be mass quantities of eager lutefisk eaters. It is Bernt Balchen Lodges’s most popular annual dinner event. November My question is why? My older brother who was raised in Norway says that to him lutefisk was “mandag’s mat”, something you ate because it was cheap and fit the budget. It wasn’t something 2015 you looked forward to; it was something you dreaded like a dose of cod liver oil. Eva Bilet, one of our long-term presidents and members, who was also raised in Norway felt the same about it as a november child. “It was something you ate because you had to.” To many coastal Norwegians with frequent access to fresh fish it was the last thing they would put on their Holiday menu. But in the old days many interior Norwegians in the upper mountain valleys did not have ready access to fresh fish. What they could get hold of was stockfish (“tørrfisk” in Norwegian).
