Abstract
The influence of pre-chilling in ice-seawater slurry on storage life on ice of Upeneus moluccensis, Trichiurus savala and Saurida tumbil was studied. In comparison to a storage life on ice of 12, 7 and 5 days for control U.moluccensiss, T.savala and S.tumbil samples ice-seawater pre-chilled fish gave a shelf-life of 14, 9 and 7 days respectively, suggesting a shelf-life extension of two days by the treatment. The shelf-life was assessed by Intelectron Fish Tester and sensory evaluation.
