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
