Fish
and shellfish, significantly main human food as well as trade-commodity
throughout the world, are harvested and farmed. Thus, ensuring high standards
(international) of their quality and safety in handling, farming and processing
systems is of consumers’ demand; post-harvest losses and outbreaks of
fish-borne illnesses can be reduced by ) implementing Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), good aquaculture practice (GAP). Identification
and controlling hazards such as pathogens, allergens, antibiotics, heavy metals
and toxins are to be sufficiently traced and monitored as per the requirement
of surveillance system.
Our Laboratory “Fish and Shellfish Quality Control
and Pathology Laboratory” at Fisheries and Marine Resource
Technology Discipline of Khulna University is a unique, and being located in
the coastal region, has opportunity to work with both fish and shellfish research
and development issues.
|
Objectives/Mission |
The Fish and Shellfish Quality Control and Pathology Laboratory intends to operate microbiological,
chemical and molecular analyses of fish and shellfish, their products, water,
soil and other samples collected from farms, wild fields, and other related
communities. The main goal of this laboratory is to diagnose diseases of fish
and shellfishes.
