Advises on handling and freezing small pelagic fish in quantity soon after capture, on the fishing vessel or onshore in a processing plant, e.g. herring, mackerel, sprat, blue whiting. Considers the nature of the raw material and handling before freezing, and emphasises the need for rapid handling and chilling.

The population of small pelagic fish in Lake Tanganyika consists of two endemic clupeids, Limnothrissa miodon and Stolothrissa tanganicae, which are called “Ndakala” in Zaïre and Burundi. They are an important component of the artisanal and industrial fisheries in the countries sharing the lake.
