Safe Seafood Handling: A quality and safety guide for Solomon Islands

Abstract

The purpose of this handbook is to introduce improved practices that help fishers, processors, and traders maximize the value of the fish they catch, process, and sell, while also reducing post-harvest losses. It supports the national food safety standards related to fishery products and serves as a practical guide for trainers in rural fishing communities. By promoting the adoption of these standards among fishers, processors, traders and fish farmers, this handbook aims to enhance the production, consumption and trade of high-quality seafood in coastal and rural communities throughout Solomon Islands.
