From the Back Cover

The recent introduction of carbon monoxide and filtered smokes in processing of fish and the continuing controversy for utilization of reduced oxygen packaging are arguably the highest profiled concerns influencing today’s commerce and regulation of fresh and frozen fish about the world. The growing dependence on more distant and time-consuming exchange of fishery products requires processing and packaging options that help preserve product quality and product shelf life. Continuing reliance on modified atmospheric processing and package is inevitable, but this technology involves concerns for operational issues, regulatory guidelines, and market expectations.
