Abstract
The quality and safety of aquatic products has always been the first priority in food quality control in China. The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is recognized as an effective system designed to improve food safety. To promote the establishment and implementation of the HACCP system in the aquaculture industry in China, the paper analyzed potential hazards in the cage aquaculture of Siniperca scherzei and defined the critical control point. Meanwhile, the table of HACCP plan was established. Key words: Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), cage culture, Siniperca scherzei, quality.
Highlights
The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system was introduced in the 1960s by NASA for the design and manufacture of food for space flights (Mayes, 1998; Panisello and Quantick, 2001; Song and Wu, 2002; Mul and Koenraadt, 2009)
We have developed a checklist based on this information and on evaluative inputs by the manager of the cage culture site that can be used to control hazards that have a potential impact on the cage culture of S. scherzei, so as to promote the establishment and implementation of the HACCP system in the aquaculture industry in China
This study has identified the critical control points (CCPs) for the S. scherzei cage culture (Table 1)
Summary
The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system was introduced in the 1960s by NASA for the design and manufacture of food for space flights (Mayes, 1998; Panisello and Quantick, 2001; Song and Wu, 2002; Mul and Koenraadt, 2009). The application of HACCP in aquaculture aims to ensure the comprehensive monitoring and management of factors relevant to the operation of an aquaculture facility. These factors can include the environment surrounding the culture site, the water quality, the water body used for the culture, and the feedstuff and pesticide used throughout the whole production cycle. Zhelin Lake (308 km2) is located on the upper reaches of the Xiu River in Jiangxi Province of China. This site is an environmentally friendly aquaculture system in Jiangxi province. S. scherzeri is considered to be valuable freshwater species that are widely cultured in China
