Re : Ammonia odours in fish. (Odour damage?)
I would greatly appreciate some of your knowledge on the following:
Will fish (H&G Shark and Swordfish mixed) that has a very, very, strong
ammonia (no breathing possible) odour leave permanent odour damage to a
refrigerated container if loaded? Or can the odour be removed through the
use of certain chemicals? Can the odour be absorbed by the refrigerator
system?
The fish is loose without packaging and is in direct contact with the
container's interior panels. The fish is in a terrible condition with
serious discolouring to meat. I am still awaiting analysis results but
expect shocking results on ammonia & TMA levels.
Thankfully,
