Abstract
Food standards have been introduced on a national/international basis to protect the consumers health and to ensure fair practices in food trade. The formulation of standards for fish products became necessary to attain a minimum standard of cleanliness and hygiene in fish handling, processing and marketing. The exporting country or company should be aware of the quality requirements of the buying nation. Standards are intended to guide and promote export or import of fishery products between countries. Some Governments of all countries are responsible for public health problems arising from the consumption of fish products, they enforce certain food laws and introduce standards.
