Abstract: | This Paper describes a meeting that was timely and clearly of wide international interest. It brought together people of diverse backgrounds — academics, Government research workers, inspectors, industrialists and others and, although no clear conclusions emerged, there was general agreement that the participants gained considerably from the information presented and discussed. It focussed attention on the areas where information is still lacking and hopefully it will have stimulated endeavours in one way or another to further our understanding of fish as food and thereby improve the quality available to the consumer. |
