Safety of Fish Products and Derivatives
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The course provides the basic knowledge to work in production chains of fish products and derivatives; in particular the topics will concern: fishing's problems and aquaculture production, the different rearing systems of the most important fish species, the main techniques of preservation, processing and transformation of fish products and derivatives and the effects they have on the quality and safety of the product, frauds, legislation, labeling and product traceability.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will acquire the skills to work in the production chains of fish products and derivatives and will demonstrate knowledge and ability in the production, safety and quality of fish products and derivates useful on production/processing, distribution and foodservice.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The assessment of the actual achievement of the expected learning results by the student will take place through an oral test.
Will be evaluated the knowledge relating to fishing's problems and aquaculture production, the different rearing systems of the most important fish species, the recognition of species (through photos), to the production, processing and health of fish products in order to prevent and control the health risks associated with the different production and working areas.
The dates of the exams, and the registration deadline to take the exam, are communicated through the University application (UNIMIA)
The evaluation is expressed by a mark out of thirty.
Students with specific learning disabilities or other disabilities are requested to contact the Professor via email at least 10 days before the exam session to agree on any individualized measure.
In the email addressed to the teacher, the respective University services must be registered in CC: [email protected] (for students with LD) and [email protected] (for students with disabilities).
