Super chilling of fish
In order to ensure the product temperature in distribution, prechilling to temperatures 1 to 2o C below initial freezing is used. This will give the product a refrigeration reservoir during distribution.

Expected results:
- Improved quality/longer shelf life
- Reduced costs for transportation
- Less environmental impact (Reduced amount of contaminated drip water)
Aim:
To develop a concept called ColdStep for production and transport of farmed Salmon based on Super Chilling, through:
- Examine the effect from short term Super Chilling on quality and shelf life
- Development of methods for calculating and measurement of temperatures in Super Chilling
- Find effective technical methods and equipment for large scale Salmon Super Chilling
- Development of principles and safe transport methods /equipment for Super Chilled products.
