Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

Samples were taken for: Analysis for radioactivity in fish, water and sediment, Analysis for toxic trace elements as cadmium and lead, Analysis for taurine an essential amino acid being present in marine fish in high amounts, Analysis for cholesterol for filling gaps in food composition tables, Analysis of pharmaceuticals in shrimp (for comparison), Aquatic species identification and authenticity by molecular biological methods, Training and education of sensory panel. Samples for an international comparison test on fat determination using less toxic solvents were prepared. Quality examinations of fish fillets by pattern recognition. Examination of fish diseases Three iced storage experiments were conducted to assess the length and weight losses during storage. It seems that the losses are very much specimen and catching ground dependent and that a general statement is not possible based on the results obtained so far. Cfu were determined in different organs of freshly killed fish.
