dc.description.abstractCephalopods are believed to be a major and largely untapped source of marine protein. While groundfish landings have remained fairly stable or declined over the past three decades, the cephalopod world catch has increased substantially (Caddy and Rodhouse, 1998), reaching 3.78 million tin 2004 (FAQ, 2006). Squid is by far the major cephalopod species (67%) produced worldwide, but octopus (9.5%) and cuttlefish (16%) are becoming increasingly important (FAQ, 2003). Of the species that are explored world-wide roughly 41% belong to the genera Loligo, Sepia or Octopus, which are predominantly found on the continental shelf (Guerra, 1996). The consumption of cephalopods has recently increased in countries that were not traditionally cephalopod consumers, mainly as chilled and frozen ready meals (Barbosa and Vaz-Pires, 2004). Squid consumption is limited in large parts of the world, especially in North America and northern Europe. On the other hand, considerable amounts of squid are consumed in east and south-east Asia. General handling, processing, preservation and product properties of cephalopods, mainly based on squid which is the major cephalopod species produced, were published by Kreuzer (1984). The microbiology of fresh and spoiling fish has been extensively studied, as reviewed by Liston (1980) and Gram and Huss (1996), but qualitative microbiological data on cephalopods are scarce as autolytic changes are believed to be the main reason for deteriorating sensory quality (LeBlanc and Gill, 1984).en_US
