Abstract
Most fish are caught from the wild in nets or with lines of baited hooks. Some die before being hauled from the water, some suffer physical damage, and all, farmed or wild, are inevitably stressed before death. These, and other differences due to biological condition, structure, composition and post-mortem change, present fish processors and distributors with a raw material very different from other food materials used in modern processing industries.
