Abstract
A survey was done of the European fish sector to identify the importance
of various quality related aspects of fish. Responses to a questionnaire show
that a high degree of consensus exists about quality attributes, control
methods and labelling in the fish sector. The small variability in opinion
found is attributable to the differences in country, company size or company
type. The consensus gives a good indication of the needs of the fish industry
for rapid methods of measuring the quality of fish and fish products. It also
indicates what tools of quality control and labelling should be developed and
implemented.
