Edited by Yesim Ozogul and published by Taylor & Francis Inc, September, 2019, USA. 376 pages.
This publication gives information on advances in chilling, freezing, thawing, and packaging of seafood and
also updates knowledge of novel process technologies (high-pressure processing, irradiation, ultrasound,
pulsed electric field, microwave and radio frequency, sous vide technology, novel thermal sterilisation
technologies, ozone and nanotechnological applications, and other innovative technologies such as cold
plasma, ohmic heating, infrared heating supercritical carbon dioxide, and high-intensity pulsed light) for
the seafood industry.

Further, it highlights aspects related to quality of seafood treated with these innovative technologies,
effect on food constituents, possible risk, security/safety both of seafood and consumers, the environmental impact, and the
legislative aspects. The book also addresses the growing international environmental concern for fish discards and fish waste
generated in the seafood processing industries.

an effective level and maintain organizational viability, it has sufficient resources to
operate continuously and need not rely on subsidy to maintain organizational
functions. The five case studies of farmers associations (in Bangladesh, Kyrgyz

Sustainable associations are stable and efficient. They have adequate financial
resources, manage their resources effectively and the members maintain a
continuing commitment to the goals of the association. Associations draw strength
from being recognized and represented in government policy decisions and from
their interactions with the science and technology sector, government and private
industry service providers, and the mass media. The case studies confirm that the
livelihoods of small-scale farmers and hatchery operators can be improved by their based, professional, and experiential information, and developed recommendations to strengthen,

livelihoods through stakeholder engagement enhances its prospects for
sustainability. The cases highlight the importance of professionalizing an
association – its leadership, members and procedures.
