5 Abstract The workshop on Quality Control. Processing and Marketing of Aquaculture Products was held in Sfax-Tunisia on April The workshop considered several aspects related to sanitary norms, quality control, valorisation of Aquaculture Products, processing technology, marketing, etc On the way back to Tunis, a study tour permitted to visit several processing and aquaculture units (clam hatchery, processing units of blue fish and private fish farming). The participants recognised the necessity of improving handling and quality control of aquaculture products and should take early action to identify and standardise their code and norms, Quality identification labels should be enhanced to promote aquaculture products. In the framework of a common strategy at regional, sub-regional or even at national level, it was stressed the urgent need establish a data bank of codes and norms when existing. The traditional processing of aquaculture products was discussed and the need to promote and conceive an integrated aquaculture industry was reported. In view of approaching new markets, the processing technics should be developped according to the diversified products. Regarding the marketing of aquaculture products, the idea of establishing several grower associations or marketing board was strongly recognised to improve market conditions and also to insure stable prices and available products. As the Mediterranean market is becoming smaller to aquaculture products, it was mentionel that growers and farmers should diversify both the production by introduicing new species and new products ans also the markets. Regional, national and international institutions were strongly invited to help in the matter by matter by training specialised staff, developing new technics and encouraging research in specific themes related to quality control, processing and marketing investigations. It was then recommended to promote the collections, analysis and exchange of information, through networking, about markets of interest to MEDRAP membre countries. Lastly, it was recommended that training and research programmes should be initiated and planned to promote the aquaculture indsutry in MEDRAP Membre Countries.

8 Introduction FINAL REPORT The Mediterranean Regional Aquaculture Project (MEDRAP) convened a workshop on Quality Control, Processing and Marketing of Aquaculture Products, in Sfax (Tunisia), from 22 to 25 April Representatives from both private and public sectors from nine MEDRAP countries (Portugal, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Cyprus, Croatia, Lebanon, Turkey) attended the workshop and acitively participated in all its sessions, animated by eight expert invited from associated and non associated countries (France, Scotland, Hungary, Belgium). On behalf of Mr. Hassan AKROUT, the MEDRAP Project Coordinator, unable to attend the workshop due to health reasons, Mr. BELKHIR Mohiedine, expert and the representative of MEDRAP welcomed all the participants and wished them good stay in Tunisia and full success of the workshop that was just opened before by Mr. Bechir TRITAR, the Tunisian National Coordinator. Private aquaculture operators being the main users of research results of this workshop, MEDRAP offered them for the first time a good opportunity to join the meeting and exchange information with researchers and enrich the discussion with their experiments in the field. The workshop agenda was briefly introduced to the participants. It is mainly constituted of three sessions dealing with Quality Control, Processing and Marketing of aquaculture products, and a round table on present status on Quality Control, Processing and Marketing of Aquacole Production within the MEDRAP member countries. The programme also included a study tour on the way back Sfax-Tunis, that permitted to visiting several processing and aquaculture units (clam hatchery, processing units of blue fish belonging to both private and public sectors, and private fish farming). The participants fully adopted the agenda and proceeded to the following Officials for the Worshop: Chairman Vice Chairman Reporters Main report : Mr. Bechir TRITAR (Tunisia) : Mr. Nazih BOLES AZER (Egypt) : Mr. Mahmoud SAHIN (Turkey) Mr. Abderrahmen BERNOUSSI (Morocco) Mr. Tony KIMONIDES (Cyprus) The importance of Quality Control, Processing and Marketing in increasing the aquaculture production and improving the development of the aquaculture sector was generally recognized at both, national and Mediterranean level. The economic viability of aquaculture is considered closely dependent to that subject and should lead to conceive a new regional aquaculture strategy considering that related codes and norms should be identified and standardized. Furthermore, several aspects related to the matter and linked to the technical and economic viability of aquaculture under local sub-regional and regional conditions were carefully discussed through the different and interesting lectures and conferences. Hereby we considered very useful to report the main remarks and suggestions which were formulated during the general discussions on the prospects and problems of aquaculturr, highlighting several needs and major constraints.

9 Participating MEDRAP countries recognized the necessity to improve handling and quality control of aquaculture products and should take early action to identify and standardize their code and normes as they are differing when existing from one country to another. Quality identification labels should be enhanced to promote aquaculture products as opposed to the fished products. In the framework of a common strategy at regional, sub-regional or even national level, there is an urgent need to establish a data bank of codes and normes when existing. This will help insuring better demand promotion for farmed products and on the other hand, saving the consumer from contaminating risks that could be provided from either the fresh or the manufactured products. Specialized institutions, concerned by quality control were asked to keep in touch with each other at regional or national level and get together to coordinate their activities and interventions on the matter. Despite the increasing demand with its complexity in developping the aquaculture products and the difficulties met in their processing as this later is differing from one species to another, the participants discussed the need to report and define the several kinds of aquaculture products that could be elaborated. The participants recognized that this could be done through a consultancy on the subject. The questions of how to secure promotion of the traditional aquaculture products together with the new processed ones was largely discussed. Attention was given to the feasibility of promoting the sector as it requires investigations and farmers should be more sensitive to the aquaculture production prices as supply increases accordingly; that will lead to planning strategy in production and marketing which needs obviously two kinds of cooperations; one between associations of farmers and producers themselves and the other one between European and Arab governments. Regarding the marketing of aquaculture products, the idea of establishing several grower associations or marketing board was strongly recognized to improve market conditions and also to insure stable prices and availability of products. Also special consideration of aspects related to the quality control and processing should be carefully examined as to which marketing is strongly depending and developping programme for aquaculture at Mediterranean scale should aim equally to the domestic market and the export. Furthermore, all participants considered that the Mediterranean market is becoming smaller to aquaculture products. Growers of Farmers should diversify both the production by introducing new species and new products and also the markets by searching new ones to be developped. However, the introduction of new species and new products is not without constraints as technological and biological conditions are differing according to species, each one having its own technology, biology and rearing technics. Discussion on such marketing aspects and the important role that could be played in the natural exploitation of aquaculture products highlighted the necessity that MEDRAP countries should work in elaborating an adequate marketing strategy involving a real coordination, a planification and more efficiency aiming at insuring a permanent marketing development and obviously, by the same way, a production of aquaculture at national, regional and sub-regional levels. Regional training institutions as well as national and international ones were strongly invited by the participants to help in the matter by training specialized staff, developping new technics and encouraging research in specific themes related to quality control, processing and marketing investigations.

10 Lastly, the participants recognized the need of creating a data bank systems which should be specific to the Mediterranean region and involving marketable aquaculture products with prices analysis; the institution of such system should aim particularly to the monitoring, the research-development and its impact on production costs in processing and marketing. Recommendations 1 Farming organization There is a need to encourage the formation of fish farmers' associations in each member country. Such association in each MEDRAP country should normally cooperate in the formation of federation of fish farmers associations. 2 Marketing 2.1 Role of Marketing The development of aquaculture in MEDRAP member countries should move away from its past product-led development to a futur which focuses upon anticipation, identificationand responding to changes in the market. 2.2 Marketing Information Systems Greater efforts should be made to establish marketing information systems for MEDRAP member states. Mechanisms should be established to encourage and promote the collection, analysis and exchange of information, through networking, about markets of interest to MEDRAP member countries. 3 Quality Control 3.1 A compendium of directories of international product specifications should be compiled, and made available to MEDRAP member countries. 3.2 MEDRAP member countries should identify and understand the relevant product specifications for each of the potential target markets. 3.3 MEDRAP member countries who wish to supply such target markets should ensure that they are capable of satisfying any relevant standards applicable. 4 Processing 5 Training 6 Research The processing needs of the aquaculture production industry in MEDRAP member states should be appraised. In particular the opportunities for product diversification based upon existing products and species, and new products and species, should be identified and evaluated so that changing market demands can be targeted and satisfied. The training needs of the aquaculture industry in each MEDRAP member country should be investigated in each of its functional areas, including marketing, quality control, processing and handling, inter alia. Training programs should be planned an initiated to remedy any deficiencies identified. MEDRAP member countries should be encouraged to establish further research programs in marketing, quality control, processing and handling. Exchange and communication of the results of each of these research programs should be encouraged.

16 SUMMARY REPORTS ON QUALITY CONTROL AND PROCESSING AND MARKETING OF AQUACULTURE PRODUCTS IN PORTUGAL 1- INTRODUCTION by Mrs. Maria Leonor NUNES and Mr. Manuel ABREU DIAS The per capita consumption of fish in Portugal is one of the highest within european countries, about 50kg/year, however farmed fish only account in a very small percentage for this figure. Thus, the estimated production of farmed species is approximately ton/year, according to values displayed in Table 1, and the whole production is not consumed in Portugal part is exported, mainly to Italy. Main farmed species in Portugal has been rainbow trout and clam, whose production attained in last years values near to 1000 and 7000 ton, respectively, followed by mussel, eel and oyster. In spite of this low production aquaculture in Portugal has big potentialities to be enlarged and it might be supposed that the number of fish farms and mainly the production will be increased in the next years. The main reasons for this development are related to the expected demand of some of these species and to the efforts which are actually being done in research to ameliorate the quality of fish feeds, to prevent, the diseases as well as to decrease the mortalities and to introduce in each case the species more suitable. Having in mind these aspects the production of farmed species has been encouraged as well as the improvement of its quality and the diversification of presentations. Thus, actually INIP is developing a project concerned to the upgrading of some Mugilidae species, particularly Mugil cephalus and Liza ramada, which have interesting sapid characteristics through the preparation of fish fillets of fish minces. 2- QUALITY CONTROL OF AQUACULTURE PRODUCTS Fish is normally graded according to size and in general is not subjected to any special quality control however if there is some suspects the lot can be submitted to some examinations like amines content, sensory evaluation or even to a species identification. Mollusca are always subjected to depuration in order to decrease the microorganism levels to acceptable values which were defined by EC directives. Further more this raw material is regularly subjected to analysis of biotoxins, particularly PSP and DSP, and waters of mollusca beds are also weekly subjected to the biotoxin control in order to evaluate the levels of PSP and DSP. A prevision of toxin blooms is regularly realized too. In general, crustaceans are very often subjected to melanosis ranking, and if there is some suspects o an abusive utilization of sulphites to prevent melanosis they also can be submitted to a SO2 determination whose levels are legislated in Portugal. 3. PROCESSING AND MARKETING OF AQUACULTURE PRODUCTS Most of farmed species are introduced in the market as whole fish without any preparation or special treatment. As a rule, fish is gutted or not according to its size, and preserved in ice in insulated boxes. In fish market these species are sold as whole fresh fish although in some cases, for instance medium or big salmon or sea bass, is sold as chopped fish. Eels are very often utilized in the preparation of traditional canned

17 products or even introduced in the market as smoked fish. Most canned of smoked eel is exported to some countries of North Europe. Bivalve mollusca are always depurated before its introduction on the market according to EC directives and its commercialization is done as fresh raw material too. In the same way, farmed crustacean are also introduced in the market and commercialized as fresh material. Some species are treated with reductor agents, like sulphites, in order to avoid the appearing of melanosis. 4- FISH PROCESSING INDUSTRY IN PORTUGAL The Portugal fish processing industry has a very old tradition and experience on canning, salting and drying methods. The canning industry is based on sardine Sardina pilchardus and tuna (several species0 and the salting and drying on cod Gadus norhua. In the last fifteen years the frozen industry grew up, in number of factories and output capacity. Presently, there are about sixty canning plants and hundred frozen plants. The production of canned fish is about tonnes, from which sardines represent, 58%, tuna 28% and mackerel Scomber japonicus 10%. The frozen industry uses as raw material, on board frozen fish, mainly bake Merluccius spp., red fish Sebastes spp. and plaice Pleuronectes platessa. The frozen fish is filleted or cut in portions normally without defrosting, or just enough natural defrosting to allow to loose fish from the frozen block. The total production of frozen fish is about tones, but not all are really processed in offshore factories, since they are sold as whole fish. Minced fish products are not yet spread on the market. The contribution of aquaculture products as raw materials for fish plants is very small, representing less than 0.1%: only some smoked and canned eels. With the increasing difficulties in fisheries, with reduced quotas, protection of some species and the variation of captures, sizes and species, the processing industry really wants more and more to be supplied by other sources, that means, with aquaculture products. With regular supplies of standard raw materials the industry will have conditions to plan its production all over the year, saving costs, developing technologies for by-products, conducing to cheaper products.
