Check out the current program and plans for the Pacific Fisheries
Technologists meeting on our website:
http://seafood.ucdavis.edu/organize/pft.htm
Scheduled for February 23-26 in Astoria, the program will address a range
of topics and questions important to seafood processors, regulators, and
researchers.
Monday's keynote address by Mr. Frank Dulcich, President of The Pacific
Seafood Group, will look at where today's industry might be headed. This
leads into a panel exploring how fisheries management policies could be
made to improve the quality and value of seafood.
A series of talks and posters then covers
- The utilization of seafood wastes for meals, chitin-based products,
protein powders;
- Effects of aquaculture diets and practices on shrimp, sea urchins,
rainbow trout;
- New products from extracted enzyme systems, fatty acids, fish sauce,
chitosan, and albacore for Japanese consumers;
- Processing innovations to improve: storage of squid and cazon fish; gel
forming mechanisms from fish proteins; freezing efficiency in blast
freezers; utilization of Arrowtooth flounder; heating rates with radio
frequency technology.
Much of the program on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday explores issues of
food safety, regulation, and control: What is the public perception of
Mercury in seafood; how are biotoxins monitored and controlled; what
research is underway concerning Lysteria and other microorganisms; how can
the internet assist with HACCP training; how is software assisting issues
of traceability?
Two panels finish off the Wednesday session. The first: how processors
can better deal with import and export issues. The second: how to build
partnerships among industry, agencies, academics to increase the value of
HACCP?
