Planning Seafood cold Storage

Fairbanks, Alaska, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Alaska Sea Grant College Program, 1993. — 62 p.Current seafood processing improvements such as controlled freezing, transport, and storage are resulting in a continuing increase in quality. Freezing and storage help to even out seasonal catch rates, providing a more uniform supply of high quality raw material to consumers and to secondary processors. Some of this secondary value added processing is now getting under way in Alaska. Processors are recognizing the need to exercise greater control over their products as they shipped to the international consumers. Many look to high quality storage as a means of stabilizing temperatures and accumulating complete lots which might then be shipped directly to buyers with minimal repacking, transfer, and temperature fluctuation.
