The quality of goods at the Far Eastern Fish Exchange will be examined by independent experts

Unified electronic marine biological resources trading platform plans to introduce the constant practice of independent examination of the quality of seafood, which is put to the auction, told the "Far Eastern Fish Exchange" to the APRPRESS

-Today there are some problems with the quality of products in the fishing industry. There is sometimes a contamination of fish with pathogenic bacteria, the substitution of one fish to another. Seafood often contains large amounts of water (up to 20-40% of the glaze instead of 2-2.5%) and may contain humectant components, have dry surface, color change, or it can be expired, - the report says.

According to Sergey Lelyukhin, president of the “Far Eastern Fish Exchange”, CJSC, such defects cause significant damage to the reputation of not only individual producers, but also the fishing industry as a whole.

-These problems are usually associated with small companies that do not have modern fish processing equipment or use outdated technologies for processing of marine biological resources, - says Sergey Lelyukhin.

In this regard, they introduce the practice of independent examination of the lots quality using the principles of foreign exchange practices. This allows protecting the interests of both the exchange market participants and end-users.
