Description
Book SynopsisThe Seafood Industry: Species, Products, Processing, and Safety, Second Edition is a completely updated and contemporary revision of Flick and Martin's classic publication,
The Seafood Industry. Covering all aspects of the commercial fish and shellfish industries from harvest through consumption the book thoroughly describes the commercial fishery of the western hemisphere. The international audience will also find the coverage accessible because, although species and regulations may differ, the techniques described are similar worldwide,. The second edition contains a significant expansion of the material included in the first edition. Examples include: high pressure processing; inclusion of additional major crustacean species of commerce; fishery centers and development programs; handling methods on fishing vessels; and new chapters on Toxins, Allergies, and Sensitivities; Composition and Quality; and Risk Management and HACCP; and Processing Fin Fish.
The Seafood
Trade Review
“The authors present valuable technical information and insight for the handling and processing of commercially important species of finfish and shellfish while making the complex understandable. For a technical work, it is an enjoyable read. Every seafood technology or marketing student or professional should add this volume to his or her bookshelves.” (Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology, 25 December 2013)
