Fish Cell Production Systems (FCPS) for Sustainable Seafood and Marine Innovation

Bioeconomy Science Institute

Existing fish cell lines and media do not meet these requirements, resulting in unstable foundations for seafood CellAg. Consequently, the technology is not commercially viable; there are no CellAg seafood products available globally. Our programme will expand knowledge of fish-cell culture, generating an in-depth understanding of cultured cells nutritional/environmental needs...

Effects of hot boning on beef processed as mince

Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC)

Cull dairy cows often end up being processed through hot boning facilities or processes. In hot-boning, muscle is removed from the skeletal structure pre-rigor mortis while the carcass is still relatively hot, packaged, and either frozen or chilled. Hot boning offers a cost-effective processing method where carcass chilling is not...
