Abstract
An overview of studies for technological developments in the first stages of the value chain of groundfish in Iceland is introduced. It presents the results of recent research performed on board fresh fish trawlers and is aimed to evaluate the process performance in terms of product quality and shelf-life for fresh cod and saithe. This includes studies on time and temperature control, different bleeding conditions, superchilling methods and storage. The main objectives of the research are to provide design parameters to the processing deck redesign and to evaluate the impact of new on-board processes from catch to post-processing storage. The results of the studies indicate that storage methods have a greater impact on fish quality than the specific method of cooling. Also, the results indicate which parameters should be adjusted during the bleeding process to achieve the most effective drainage of blood from the fish.

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:This research was conducted as part of the research project “Redesign of demersal wetfish trawler processing decks” supported by the Technology Development Fund (grant number 142667-0611) and the AVS R&D Fund of Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture in Iceland (grant number R 15 068-14). Thanks to the crew on board the trawlers for cooperation with experiments and to the staff of HB Grandi, Samherji and FISK Seafood for helping with processing the samples. Thanks also to Matis staff participating in sample storage and chemical measurements.
