Hi Peter Howgate,

Thanks for your answer, and answer your question, packaged ice is ice in
packages usually sold in convenience stores or supermarkets, to use in
drinks...it´s not used in fish boats, I told about because the references that
I found, most of all were about packaged ice, and I am looking for references
about ice in fish boats or ice used to preserv quality of fish in
supermarkets...

Yes, in the last message quality means preserv freshness, thank you, I will try
to find these papers from 50 and 60´s, and I will read some books about fish
handling..

Thanks,

Luís Paulo
