FISHERIES
Fishery:
An activity
leading to capture,
processing and
sale of fish.
IMPORTANCE OF FISHERIES/FISH:
o Cheap source of protein and other daily
nutrient requirements
o Creates jobs/employment
o Generates revenue
o Contributes to food security
o Used as animal food
CONTRIBUTIONS OF FISHERIES TO GUYANA
o Significant net contributor to revenues
o Contributed 2.6% to GDP in 2013
o Annual per capital consumption above 50kg
o Approximately 12,000 persons involved
REASONS FOR SAFE SEAFOODS?
o Reduce risk of disease and illness
o Spoilage is minimized
o Healthier for consumption
o Good source of protein
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SAFETY
PRACTICES IN GUYANA?
o Marine – Fishing offshore in a
predominantly uncontrolled environment
o Aquaculture – Rearing of aquatic
species in a predominantly controlled
environment

Possible food safety hazards?
Biological Hazards
Parasites
Pathogenic bacteria
Biological toxins
Trematodes, Nematodes
& Cestodes
Salmonella, Shigella,
E.Coli, Vitorio cholera
Scrombrotoxin &
Ciguatoxin
Chemical Hazards
Agrochemicals Disinfectants, Pesticides & Antioxidants
Veterinary drug Antibiotics, Growth promoters,
residues
Chemo-therapeutants (hormones),
Feed additives from animal manures.
Heavy Metals
Metals leached soil, from
industrial wastes, from sewege or
animal manure- Mercury,Lead,
Arsenic & Flourine,Selenium
Reducing effects of food safety hazards?
• Parasites - proper cooking or freezing
prevents transmission to humans.
• Bacteria - proper sanitation in personal
hygiene, equipment, handling, processing and
storage.
• Bio-toxins -Testing tissues for toxicity levels.
• Agrochemicals - Sensitize farmers on prudent
use (do no spray herbicides in and around
ponds, label all chemicals, use as directed).
• Chemo-theraputants - presence of veterinary
drugs in the final product is of great
importance in safeguarding the public health
and strengthening consumer confidence
towards safe and high quality products.
-Follow withdrawal periods as prescribed.
-Do not sell fish before time
• Codex - Adhere to principles
