Dear Sir,
We are having 4 fishing trawlers (size is 21 feet) which are having facilities for processing, freezing, packing, freezer store. And we are doing on board processing. We are doing shrimp, cuttlefish, lobster. Oil sardine will come in sole and small boat will go for this fishing. In boat maximum 5 tones is coming. I think you are netting too much time. You should collect the fish from net atleast every 3 hrs. Once the fish dies chemical and microbial activities will start. Histamine will come under CCP's and it will not be it will not be reduced in further processing or any other steps. According to FDA once the histamine level is higher than limit that should be discarded. Since I do not know your vessel capacity, ask your vessel people to separate tune and sardine and ice separately. Once they reached maximum capacity ask them to come back. Because to get incentives, they will not think about fish quality. Ask your vessel technologist to take care about icing.
If you want more specify your topic if possible i can help you.
Thanking you

Subject: more on sardines
Hello again,I should have been more specific about my sardine question.We
have been processing them for long line bait this last year here in
Astoria.We have purse seiners that fished just for us so the sardines we
would process for food would be bought right off the boat.I am
concerned about Monitoring the CCP's,we process Tuna
in the summer and have an easier time being able to control the development
of Histamines and the Sardines would have the same CCP'S as the Tuna but
when you have a boat with one ton of tuna,and a boat with 30-40 tons of
sardines what works for one probably won't work for the other.Are there any
processors on the West Coast that are
putting up sardines for food?looking for information on the internet hasn't
been too lucrative so any information I can get will be great.Thanks again
