Detailed Explanation of Key Technical Points for Pollution-Free Fish Storage and Transportation

The entire process of farmed aquatic products from pond to table is subject to safety and quality monitoring, of which storage and transportation is one of the important links. If errors occur in storage and transportation, the so-called pollution-free status will be lost at the final step.

1. The water quality used for storage and transportation shall comply with the relevant national regulations. During storage and transportation, fish should be handled gently and transported gently, avoiding squeezing and collision, and care should be taken not to let them dehydrate or lose ice.

2. Packaging containers should be non-toxic, odorless, clean, sturdy and have good drainage conditions. Live fish can be held in canvas buckets, live fish boxes or nylon bags with oxygen, while fresh fish use bamboo baskets, wooden barrels, plastic boxes or plastic buckets, etc.

3. Live fish should preferably be transported using live fish transport vehicles, live water boats or other transport equipment with oxygen supply devices. Fresh fish should be kept warm and fresh, and the temperature of ice-preserved fish should be controlled between 0°C and 5°C. The ice used for cooling shall comply with the relevant national regulations.

4. Transport tools should be cleaned before loading fish, so as to be clean, non-toxic and odorless, and strictly prevent contamination during transportation.

5. Live fish can be stored in clean, non-toxic, odorless cement ponds or aquariums with oxygen supply for temporary holding.
