Description:
The use of refrigeration technology is an essential requirement at all stages of the fisheries industry: from catch to processing, to food plate. One of the most common refrigerants used in the fishing industry is hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC-22), a controlled ozone depleting substance (ODS) under the Montreal Protocol (MP). The fisheries sector, both marine and on-land processing, has so far not been sufficiently studied or engaged in the HCFC-22 phase-out processes. This data gap can have implications for both compliance with the Montreal Protocol and the industry that is dependent on refrigeration technology.
