Report and papers presented at the FAO Workshop on Fish Technology, Utilization and Quality Assurance

The workshop was held to review progress and problems in post-harvest fish utilisation in Africa and formulate recommendations to FAO, its member countries and all institutes, institutions and persons interested in fish utilisation in Africa. Topics covered include fresh fish utilisation, fish processing, quality assurance, marketing and socio-economic issues. The review was done through presentation by the secretariat of a report on progress and events since the Consultation in Fish Technology held in 2001, presentation of 26 papers, abstracts of two additional papers, and a field trip to the Mbegani Fisheries Development Centre, a fish market and a processing unit in Dar es Salaam.
