    Study Notes

    Chilled Seawater (CSW) Characteristics

    • High temperatures, typically above 0°C
    • Low freezing point due to high salt content

    Advantages of CSW over Wet Ice

    • Primary advantage: faster cooling rates, resulting in better preservation of fish
    • Gentler on fish, reducing damage and improving quality
    • More efficient in cooling fish, resulting in energy savings

    Comparison of CSW and Wet Ice

    • CSW has a more consistent cooling effect, whereas wet ice can cause temperature fluctuations
    • CSW reduces fish moisture loss, whereas wet ice can lead to dehydration

    Choosing CSW over Wet Ice

    • CSW is often preferred due to its ability to maintain consistent refrigeration, improving product quality and shelf life
    • CSW also offers energy savings and reduced environmental impact compared to wet ice

    Drawbacks of Wet Ice

    • Can cause fish to become dehydrated due to moisture loss
    • Temperature fluctuations can lead to inconsistent cooling, negatively impacting fish quality
