2008/901 Yellowtail Kingfish product quality: Effects of maturation and harvest stress



By John Carragher, Mark Thomas and Ryan Wilkinson

Harvest stress and sexual maturation are known to affect the flesh quality and product shelf life in several species of fish. This preliminary study was undertaken to determine the extent of any impact of harvest stress and/or sexual maturation of males on product quality and shelf life attributes of farmed Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi) at the Clean Seas Tuna Whyalla farm site.
