Abstract Shelf life and quality of fresh fish can be extended by the application of modified
atmosphere packaging using high barrier packaging film and refrigerated storage. Modified
atmosphere with high concentration of C02 inhibits or slows down the growth of various
aerobic spoilage bacteria of fish products by extending the lag phase. It provides conditions
for the growth of gram positive bacteria and food pathogens within the package. Major
quality hazard is the risk of foodborne botulism. This paper reviews the literature relating
to the scientific basis of these claims.
