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.
