Publisher's Synopsis
The principles and practices of sound refrigeration procedures are set out here in language which is non–technical as possible with the intention of helping fisheries to gain better financial returns. The book covers spoilage and refrigeration, icing, the fish room, fish room insulation, mechanical refrigeration with ice, refrigerated sea water, refrigeration plant, freezers, cold stores and freezing at sea. The demand for fish and the protein concentrated in fishery products has brought about more sophisticated techniques for handling and preservation. This book is specifically intended to help in the design and operation of refrigeration systems on fishing vessels. The author has wide experience of the subject both in the UK and North America.
