Fish Technology Knowledge Base
 The Fish Technology Knowledge Base (FTKB) comprises the
Utilization and Technology Worldview in oneFish.


The Fish Technology Knowledge Base - Facilities and Opportunities for Networking for Fish Technologists - It is now possible for organisations and individuals to rapidly export to the Knowledge Base records (single, multiple or database) in a suitable format. This new facility makes it much easier to up-date the Knowledge Base, encourage expansion of the Network of contributors, and enhance the information available to users. more...

Aquatic Food Product Initiativefishport
The purpose of this Initiative is to create a dynamic community of scientist and engineers involved in the food sciences and processing technologies of food products derived from aquatic species. Operating under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Association of Fish Inspectors (IAFI), FishPort is designed to assist and support scientists and technical experts working within the fields of aquatic food product safety, quality and processing technologies. more...

Browse: The Fish Technology Knowledge Base comprises the Utilization and Technology Worldview in oneFish. The Knowledge Base:

All actual and potential, marine and freshwater, fishery resources from wild fisheries and aquaculture, for utilisation for food and non-food purposes; fish, invertebrates and algae. Strategic resource issues, and environmental factors affecting closure of fisheries also included. Resources
All aspects of the quality and classification of shellfish growing waters related to the safety of harvested bivalve molluscs for human consumption; pathogenic microorganisms, viruses, biotoxins, chemical contaminants; systems for depuration. Shellfish growing waters
 Factors affecting the quality and welfare of fish as harvested from wild fisheries or aquaculture, e.g. fishing gear, killing methods, intrinsic seasonal, nutritional and biological effects, live-holding systems and immediate post-harvest effects. Harvesting
Proximate composition; major, minor and trace nutritional components; analytical methods; nutritional, chemical, physical and structural properties of the animal or algal tissues, or products. Composition and properties
All aspects of post-harvest handling, processing, preservation and stowage or storage of the catch or products specifically onboard the catching or processing vessel, including the machinery and systems used, hygiene and cleaning, discharging and transshipment. Onboard handling
 All traditional and modern, small and large-scale methods of post-harvest preservation for food purposes, related packaging, and post-harvest losses. Preservation methods
All aspects of the handling and processing of food, non-food products and by-products from aquatic organisms, such as traditional, modern and novel process methods, and related packaging; process aids and food additives; process equipment, control, yield, hygiene, waste and waste recovery; factory design and water economy.  Handling and processing
All aspects of primary and manufactured food and food-related products from aquatic organisms, including product quality, labelling, packaging, storage, shelf-life, product development, value added, and consumerism. Food products
 Microbiological, biochemical, chemical and physical sources of potential hazards to human health and causes of food poisoning, control of hazards, food standards, HACCP, related analytical methods, and predictive modelling. Food product safety
 All aspects of measurement and assessment of product quality, factors affecting quality, quality defects, shelf-life, authenticity, properties and composition; mechanisms and measurement of quality loss; quality control and assurance; codes of practice, specifications and standards. Food product quality
All products and industrial by-products from aquatic sources not used directly for consumption for food, including ornamental products. Non-food products
Covers all aspects of distribution and storage onshore from first sale on landing, through the distribution chain to retail and catering sale, including temperature control, quality and material losses, traceabilty, transport systems and protective packaging and insulation. Product distribution and storage
Covers relevant information systems, databases, and advisory and extension services, application of technology and new or novel technology, education and training. Technology transfer
Information relevant to markets, marketing and national and international trade, including trading standards, supplies, production trade statistics, food security and traceability. Markets and trade
Covers economics of exploitation of resources, processing and production.  Economics
 Covers legislation, regulations, advisory notices, trading standards and codes of practice relating to the utilization and trade of aquatic resources for food and non-food purposes. These include food regulations, grading regulations, environmental health, water quality, health and safety at work regulations, Codex Alimentarius and good manufacturing practice.
