    Dear Abigail

    Try the following:

    Fresh Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua. Marine Fisheries Review 49(4) 37-42
    Abstract. The effect of ozone was investigated by various applications on
    the iced storage of fresh gutted Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua. The different
    treatments incorporated the ozone in either the ice, rinse water, or chilled
    seawater. Shelf life, as assessed by sensory, chemical, and microbiological
    tests, was not sufficiently extended by any of the treatments. TMA DMA

    shrimp (Penaeus monodon) meat. Journal of Food Science 57(4) 923-927.
    Abstract We examined solubility and stability of ozone in shrimp-meat
    extract (SME), bacteriocidal effect of ozone on shrimp-meat microorganisms,
    mutagenicity of ozonated shrimp meat, and ozonolysis of DNA. The saturated
    concentration (1.4 mg-O3/L) of ozone in SME was lower than in 2% saline or
    distilled water at 5 and 25 degC. Upon standing for 25 min after ozonation,
    ozone exhibited the same decomposition rate (2.7%/min) in 5 and 25 degC SME.
    Among 9 bacterial strains tested, Salmonella typhimurium was more resistant
    to ozone in shrimp meat. Mutagen was not detected in shrimp meat when it was
    ozonated in saline. Ozone in saline (less than 5 mg-O3/L) could lyse M13 RF
    DNA in Escherichia coli and single-stranded DNA in phage M13 outside
    bacterial cell, within 30 min.

    hydrogen peroxide, or salt on microbial profile, TBARS and color of channel
    catfish fillets. Journal of Food Science, 65, 1210-1213.
    Abstract. Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) fillets were treated with
    hydrogen peroxide (HP), ozonated water (OZ), and ascorbic acid plus salt
    (AS) or salt solution (BR). All treatments except AS decreased (p P<=0.05)
    Aeromonas, while OZ did not decrease Staphylococcus and Acinetobacter. All
    treatments except 5 ppm OZ reduced (p <= 0.05) initial TCC and PPC. At 0.7%
    HP, BR, and 10 ppm OZ fillets showed odor spoilage after 8, 10 and 10.5 d,
    respectively. Fillets treated with HP, OZ, and BR had higher (p <= 0.05)
    TBARs than control fillets. HP treated fillets had lower (p <= 0.05) Hunter
    'L' values, while BR treated fillets had higher 'a' and lower (p <= 0.05)
    Hunter 'L', 'b', and SI values than controls.
