The only quality parameters I am aware of are that the ice should be
prepared from potable water or clean seawater, and should have a small
particle size, that is, flake, tube or crushed ice or such like. Consult
any textbook on fish handling for details.
> or else about microbiology of ice from fish boats. I found only
few references about packaged ice, and fewer about ice to preserv fish
quality.
There are some papers on the microbiology of ice, but they tend to date
from the 1950's or 60's. There is a very large literature on the use of ice
to preserve freshness of fish if that is what Pimentel means by 'quality'.
Again refer to any textbook on fish handling. I do not know what packaged
ice is - ice in packages? Is this used on fishing boats?
