Finding efficient ways to sort bycatch and grade on smaller vessels and on-board machinery that will pack into small carton sizes is high on vessel owner’s radars. Below are two of the angles in prototype design phase. A call for Expression of Interest to install a prototype will be made soon. 1. Automated [...]
Finding a replacement to the commonly used metabisulphite preservative is high on the ACPF’s investment list. Trials indicate that species differences in melanosis development occur with all treatments. A number of small scale controlled on-board trials have shown PrawnFresh is effective but has different effectiveness between the species, including optimal concentration and dipping times. [...]
