Fish Export
Fish export" refers to the act of selling and shipping fish caught or farmed in one country to another country for consumption, essentially meaning a business or individual is exporting fish products across international borders to generate revenue; this can include fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, or processed fish depending on the market demand and regulations involved.
Product variety:
Exported fish products can include whole fish, fillets, seafood delicacies, fish meal, fish oil, and even live ornamental fish.
Regulations:
Strict quality control, hygiene standards, and export documentation are necessary to comply with importing country regulations.
Market factors:
Factors like species availability, market demand, price fluctuations, and transportation logistics influence the fish export industry.
Vacuum packaging: Removes air from the packaging to create a vacuum-sealed environment that helps preserve the fish's freshness, quality, and shelf life.
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP): Involves packaging fish in a gas mixture to extend its shelf life.
Frozen fish packaging: Often uses polyethylene bags or wraps, waxed duplex cartons, or polystyrene trays.
Fresh fish packaging: Can include packing fish in ice, placing it on trays, or sealing it in bags or pouches.
Canned fish: A long-used method to preserve processed fish, such as tuna, salmon, and sardines.
Stand-up pouches: Can be convenient and reduce packaging costs.
Multi-layer films: Create a tight seal to keep fish fresh and protect the package from punctures.
Individually quick frozen (IQF) packaging: Often used for frozen fish fillets and other frozen seafood products.
