Abstract:
The development of multispecies fisheries models has led to a need for improved information on the diet composition and consumption rates of fish. This study was an attempt to investigate the feeding ecology of whiting, with an emphasis on how the fishes' behaviour might influence its diet. Analysing the stomach contents of North Sea whiting, found that as whiting increased in size they switched from a crustacean, to a fish dominated diet, and the average size of prey eaten increased. Smaller trawl caught whiting were found to have a higher instance of regurgitation. The whiting appeared to be

Abstract:
“Whiting” is a term used to describe a sharply defined patch of water that contains high levels of suspended, fine-grained calcium carbonate (CaCO3). These features are named for their bright (at times white) appearance when compared to surrounding waters, and have been found to occur globally, persisting for multiple consecutive days. Although whitings have been widely studied using chemical, biological, geological, and physical techniques, there has been little effort to document their spatio-temporal distributions in a systematic way, not to mention the lack of consensus on what generates w

Abstract:
Cod, haddock and whiting are among the most economically important species in the Scottish demersal fishery. Juvenile settlement, the transition from pelagic to demersal habitat, has been identified as an important milestone for these species, but there is insufficient knowledge and data about this life stage. It is believed that the period of settlement has an impact on recruitment success, as important density-dependent processes may take place, such as competition for suitable substrate, refuge or prey. Also, knowledge of settlement timing and duration is relevant to understanding populatio

Abstract:
Cathepsin B was the most active cysteine proteinase in the Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) fish fillet, and cathepsin L in surimi when the activities of the most active cysteine proteinases (cathepsin L, B, and H) were compared. Cathepsin L showed maximum activity at 55°C in both fish fillet and surimi, indicating its function in myosin degradation during conventional cooking of fish fillet and surimi. Washing during surimi processing removed cathepsin B and H but not cathepsin L. Autolytic analysis of surimi proteins showed that the myosin was the primary target, while actin and myosin

Abstract:
Proteolysis of myofibrillar proteins in Pacific whiting surimi occurs when the 50- 70°C temperature range is reached during standard cooking procedures (e.g. 90°C for 15 min). This proteolytic activity results in the softening of surimi gels. Bovine plasma protein (BPP) is the most effective of the food-grade inhibitors used to prevent this reaction, and enhance gel strength in PW surimi. The objective of this study was to determine the effective components of bovine plasma that enhance gel strength in PW surimi. Five bovine plasma fractions were evaluated for components that contribute to gel

Abstract:
Cryoprotection in stabilized mince from Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) was investigated by monitoring changes in physical and chemical properties during 32 weeks of frozen storage. The effects of 4 different cryoprotectants were evaluated by torsion test, color analysis, extractability of salt soluble proteins, and formation of dimethylamine (DMA) and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA). The quality of the stabilized mince was significantly higher than the control (mince without cryoprotectants) when compared by shear strain, salt soluble proteins, and DMA. The results show that the functional

Abstract:
Biochemical properties, functional properties, and market potential of Pacific whiting (PW) fish sauce were investigated. Biochemical properties of fish sauce made from whole fish (W) and a mixture (1:1) of whole fish and surimi byproducts (WB) were compared. Market potential was evaluated through phone interviews and consumer panelists. Proteolysis was primarily affected by cathepsin B-like and L-like enzymes. Acidic pH (4-5) with low salt concentration (15-20%) provided a greater degree of hydrolysis (DH), total nitrogen, and amino nitrogen content in PW fish sauce compared to the traditiona

Abstract:
Yield, proximate composition, and proteolytic activity were determined in each unit operation during production of surimi from Pacific whiting. Preliminary studies involved the addition of protein adjuncts such as egg white (EW), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and soy protein isolate (SPI), at different levels, to kamaboko gels in order to select the main protein for further study. SDS-gel electrophoresis was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of egg white as a protease inhibitor in kamaboko gels. Yields obtained from planked fish (42.4%) and minced flesh (35.7%) agree with those values

Abstract:
The effect of salt (0, 0.9, 1.7, 2.5%) and pH (range 4 to 10) on surimi gels made from Pacific Whiting (Merluccius productus) was investigated. Gel-forming ability was measured by the torsion test. In general, surimi gels increased in gel strength with increased pH. Breaking shear stress increased to a greater degree than breaking shear strain above pH 7.0. The increase in gel strength was greater at higher pHs for gels made without salt than those made with salt. At neutral pH, the salted surimi showed greater gel forming abilities than the unsalted whiting surimi. Poor gels were formed at lo

Abstract:
Pacific whiting, with a maximum sustainable yield between 150,000 and 250,000 metric tons, is the largest stock of fish found off Oregon. The majority of the fish are processed into surimi. Hundreds of variables could potentially affect surimi quality (gel strength). Alternative harvesting and processing input combinations, as well as product quality attributes and their influences, were collected for the 1992-94 Pacific whiting seasons. This data was combined with other research on Pacific whiting quality to develop a comprehensive model of the Pacific whiting fishery. Neural network and indu
