Salted fish

Salted fish is less common today. Refrigeration has replaced salting as the most convenient way to preserve meat. But in the freezer next to the refrigerated fish, water exhibits yet another uncommon feature—it becomes ice in a most peculiar way.

Nitrosamines are toxic compounds as well as potent animal and human carcinogens (Patnaik, 1992). These substances occur in trace quantities in tobacco smoke, meat products, and salted fish. Some of these compounds are classified by U.S. EPA as priority pollutants in industrial wastewaters, potable waters, and hazardous wastes. These nitrosamines are listed in Table 2.16.1. Such pollutants occurring in environmental samples can be determined by U.S. EPA s analytical procedures (U.S. EPA 1990, 1992).

The chamber was spacious. A bed apiece and a chest for clothes and a couple of chairs, all of them quality pieces. The Sanudos were generous to their servants, even if they worked them hard, for I have seen dormitories half its size with a dozen flunkies packed in like salted fish. Holding the branches of the wand, I raised it so the stalk pointed straight forward. 

The Halobacteriaceae, commonly referred to as the halobacteria, are a family of extremely halophilic archaebacteria [113]. As in other archaebacteria, their membranes contain ether-linked lipids. The primary lipids present are diphytanyl phospholipids [113]. Their cell walls are also unique in structure and lack muramic acid. There are several species of halobacteria that vary considerably in their physiological characteristics. The halobacteria are unicellular rods or cocci. More recently flat, square and box-shaped cells have been described. Halobacteria are found growing in salterns or natural salt lakes and on the surface of salted fish. They often form dense planktonic blooms and can form massive accumulations on solid substrates. They may be involved in mat communities in hypersaline environments.

The manufacture of fish meal for animal feeds is a crude process. The product has a strong fishy flavor which may be acceptable in countries where people are accustomed to pungent taste, but not elsewhere. The Food and Agriculture Organization in experimenting with fish flours found that in Indonesia one sample which was nearly flavorless was not acceptable, while a different sample having a flavor resembling certain salted fish products was well liked. In Chile the FAO (1952) sponsored a series of tests in which fish flour was added to a number of recipes which were served to a few people. 

For fishery development in the Aral Sea area two refrigerating plants were constructed, a fish canning plant, 11 fish-salting plants, and accessory facilities, such as shipyards, repair and contamer-making workshops. As a result, the manufacture of frozen, cooled, and canned fish products increased, while the salted fish output decreased. 

Prior to the 1960s the Aral being an inland water body shared by Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan was the main link connecting ports Aralsk and Muinak and the cargo traffic between was as large as 250 thousand tons a year. The main transported commodities were cotton, grains, salt, fish, chemicals, and others. The most important commodities, such as fish and cotton, were transported to the north from the regions located in the Amudarya lower reaches and mostly from the Karakalpak ASSR, while the south received food and industrial products. 

Genetic make-up is certainly a factor that predisposes an individual to cancer - a familial pattern of breast cancer is, for example, well-established. However, an additive and even predominant environmental effect is clearly evident when one studies migrant populations. In Japan, the incidence of stomach cancer is high, probably due to a high consumption of salted fish and pickled foods but the incidence of prostate cancer is low, perhaps because this has an association with the consumption of large amounts of red meat. However, in migrant Japanese communities in the USA, the incidence of these two cancers more closely mirrors that of the native US population, suggesting that the adopted US diet has affected their predisposition to the two cancers. In addition, black Americans have similar incidences of the main cancers to white Americans, but these differ markedly from those seen in black Africans.
