| Abstract: | Freshly harvested mackerel were exposed at ambient temperatures on the deck for 6 and 9 h respectively before icing. The quality and storage life were compared to those of control samples which were iced on capture. Results indicated that control samples which were superior in quality to samples held at ambient temperatures before icing. Delays of 6 and 9 h at ambient temperatures were equivalent to losses of 3 and 5 storage days respectively. Though there was some loss in storage life, mackerel could still have an extended storage life of about 2 weeks if iced within 9 h after capture |
