The water activity, a w, in a fish is defined as the ratio of the water vapour pressure in the flesh of the fish to the vapour pressure of pure water at the same temperature and pressure. It ranges between 0 and 1, and is a parameter that measures how available the water is in the flesh of the fish.
A fish fillet processor processes fish into a fillet. Fish processing starts from the time the fish is caught. Popular species processed include cod, hake, haddock, tuna, herring, mackerel, salmon and pollock . Commercial fish processing is a global practice. Processing varies regionally in productivity, type of operation, yield and regulation.
Recirculating aquaculture system. Recirculating aquaculture systems ( RAS) are used in home aquaria and for fish production where water exchange is limited and the use of biofiltration is required to reduce ammonia toxicity. [ 1] Other types of filtration and environmental control are often also necessary to maintain clean water and provide a ...
Aquacultural engineering. Aquacultural engineering is a multidisciplinary field of engineering and that aims to solve technical problems associated with farming aquatic vertebrates, invertebrates, and algae. [ 1] Common aquaculture systems requiring optimization and engineering include sea cages, ponds, and recirculating systems. [ 2]
Offshore aquaculture uses fish cages similar to these inshore cages, except they are submerged and moved offshore into deeper water. Lukas Manomaitis, managing director, Seafood Consulting Associates [ 1] Offshore aquaculture, also known as open water aquaculture or open ocean aquaculture, is an emerging approach to mariculture ( seawater ...
Fisheries management. The goal of fisheries management is to produce sustainable biological, environmental and socioeconomic benefits from renewable aquatic resources. Wild fisheries are classified as renewable when the organisms of interest (e.g., fish, shellfish, amphibians, reptiles and marine mammals) produce an annual biological surplus ...
Fish factory. Small scale fish factory next to a pier at the NW end of the main road on the Kincasslagh Peninsula. A fish factory, also known as a fish plant or fish processing facility, is a facility in which fish processing is performed. They are commonly located near bodies of water but can be located inland and on fishing vessels.
Flow-through raceway system in Masis, Armenia. A raceway, also known as a flow-through system, is an artificial channel used in aquaculture to culture aquatic organisms. Raceway systems are among the earliest methods used for inland aquaculture. A raceway usually consists of rectangular basins or canals constructed of concrete and equipped with ...
