Changes in seafood consumer preference patterns and associated changes in risk exposure

Consumers world-wide are driving changes in the agriculture and food sector. Rising consumer income, changing demographics and lifestyles, and shifting preferences due to new information about the links between diet and health all contribute to new demands for foods. At the same time, technological changes in production, processing and distribution, growth in large-scale retailing, and changes in product availability, as well as expansion of trade world wide, have contributed to a rapidly changing market for food products. Changes in seafood consumption reflect these changes. The changes in consumer consumption patterns, new technologies and trade in product offer both expanded markets as well as new challenges to consumer exposure to food-borne risks. The strict quality control requirements of retail brokers, growth of private labels, and development of value-protecting marketing channels have become increasingly important in food markets. This paper addresses major trends that affect seafood consumption and the market for seafood products and the implications of these changes for consumer risk exposure to food safety hazards. The current economic environment highlights similarities and differences between the developed and developing countries, as well as diversity worldwide in consumption of seafood. Within this context, four major trends affect consumer consumption of foods, including seafood and fish products today: rising income; changing demographics; changing markets for food; and an increasingly global market for food products. Changes in consumer risk exposure to food safety problems are addressed in the context of these trends.     

鲁北沿岸贝壳堤的地质学意义

本文通过对鲁北沿岸现代贝壳堤岛的分析认为:贝壳堤发育在冲淤变化不大的粉砂淤泥质岸段,暴风浪是其形成的主要动力;完整的贝壳堤体系应包括海岸贝类生长带(潮滩下部和潮下带)—潮滩侵蚀带—贝壳堤—堤后泻湖;贝壳堤贝壳~(14)C测年资料应当慎用,也不宜把古贝壳堤看成全新世海平面变化的确切标志。     

喀拉陆架晚第四纪沉积物物理性质及其形成条件

研究了喀拉海陆架沉积物的物理性质，该陆架沉积在很大程度上受制于沉积物沉积的自然环境，沉积物的物理性质形成条件及其性质的多样性是由许多因素决定的，其中主要是气候，新构造和古地理条件。物理性质的时间和空间在很大程度上由陆架地貌格局和物质沉积的具体条件所控制，沉积物成因类型和沉积相（环境）之间是协调一致的。     

南极长城站海湾的重矿物组成

该湾位于南极长城站的东北部,企鹅岛的西南部,呈一向西北北伸展的舌状湾,面积较小,约0.5平方公里左右(见图)。在靠近长城站一带沿岸,发育数条源近流短的小     

城市热岛

应用陆地卫星/TM数据资料在首都华盛顿地区结合利用推导的波谱反射率与温度资料研究了城市热岛现象,分析了5种地表类型的复合表面能。结果表明城市加热是由于建筑、沥青、裸露土壤和短草草地构成快速加热,使城市地表引起过量热。总之,夏日加热现象开始于早晨,它可以比附近的林区高约10℃。
