Sodium Metabisulphite Alternatives

Sodium metabisulphite has been used in the UK fishing industry for many years to control the effects of melanotic blackening in prawns (Nephrops norvegicus). Recent requirements for allergen labelling and court cases resulting from high levels of sulphite residue have prompted interest to secure alternative treatments to control melanosis. Further motivation has come from the highly corrosive nature of sodium metabisulphite. This causes extensive damage to vessels and processing equipment and has serious operational health and safety issues. A number of treatments were trialled in a commercial environment to determine a viable alternative to sodium metabisulphite. Prawns were treated at sea and then assessed for shelf life and sulphite residue by processors in NE Scotland. 5 treatments were competitive with sodium metabisulphite, these include sulphite based and non sulphite based treatments. As such, vessels and factories are provided with a variety of treatment options depending on their own product requirements. Alternative sulphite based treatments exhibit reduced operational hazards and lower sulphite residues in the tail meat while selected non sulphite based treatments are classified as ‘processing aids’ and are exempt from any form of food additive labelling.

The development of larval cod head morphology and aggression and boldness in cod

The report details experiments in 2004 and 2005 that were funded by NERC and Seafish towards a Phd project carried out at the SAMS marine laboratory in Ardtoe. The morphological development of the head in cod larvae and the effect of prey size on the development were studied as well as aggression in cod juveniles and the effects of prey density on aggression. Some of the key results from these experiments are summarized in this report. Each section of the report eventually formed a chapter of the final thesis (through the University of Glasgow).
