COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS OF DEEPCHILL ICE SLURRY FOR SUPERIOR PRESERVATION AND YIELD GAIN IN SHRIMPS

 Effective  and rapid  seafood preservation is an important concern for aqua culturists. With better seafood preservation comes

 higher quality to consumers and higher premium to farmers . The use of flake ice , refrigerated sea water (RSW) or tube ice offers  cooling  that  is fairly laborious, does not provide effective cooling below subzero temperatures, and involves fairly significant drip losses. In addition, handling of any form of crushed ice needs manual intervention thereby increasing the risk of contamination

DeepChill® is a proprietary ice slurry technology that is be able to address these concerns. As a true variable state ice slurry, it is pump able and the amount of DeepChill crystals in the slurry can be varied depending on heat transfer requirement.  This paper

presents the DeepChill ® advantages for cooling farm raised shrimps. It must b e noted that DeepChill

is also effective for salmon, mussels and many other aqua cultured species.
