TECHNOLOGIES FOR AUTOMATION OF FISH PROCESSING AND PRODUCTION OF FISH PRODUCTS
Historically, the food industry has been labor intensive, and the seafood industry is no exception. The production of seafood from raw materials to finished products requires skilled professionals for filleting, trimming, cleaning, as well as visual control of parasites and quality. The largest stocks of fish are often found in remote or sparsely populated areas. Therefore, the fishing industry often faces significant difficulties in finding people willing to work in processing plants. In conditions of limited access to manual labor, much attention is paid to the automation of food production. In recent decades, the automation of fish production has become increasingly common, making it one of the most highly automated sectors of the protein industry.
