Evaluation of the manipulation that is given to the fishery product in terms of quality and safety at the time of its capture by the artisanal fisherman of the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica

Abstract

The research evaluated the handling and storage type that is given to the fish product in terms of quality and safety at the time of its capture by the fisherman. The methodological tool for obtaining the primary information was a close type survey and a checklist, both addressed to artisanal fishermen of the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica. According to the results obtained in the investigation, it was determined that manipulation is not on its best, due to the considerations evaluated and observed such as cleaning of boats, implements used, gutted, type of storage and use of ice.
