Introduction
In this film, we will look at how to ensure good quality fish through correct handling of the catch.
Norwegian fishing vessels are modern and have all the prerequisites for producing fish of the highest quality. There will, however, still often be room for improvements when it comes to how the catch is handled. Correct handling is important for the quality of the fish, and to improve profitability for crew and owners. Bruising that is invisible on the outside can result in extensive internal bleeding and ruin the fish. Other problematic areas may involve a an extended time between the fish being caught and bled,, incomplete bleeding, or the fish being cut, packed or frozen in the wrong manner. Different species of fish must also be treated differently after the catch.
