Safety and quality parameters applied to JF-B (JF directly pre-treated on the boat) and JF-DW (JF washed with drinking water). Samples were treated for 5 days with calcium citrate (Ca-Citrate) or calcium lactate (Ca-Lactate) brines, following accredited conventional assays used for seafood and fish-derived products (as already described by Bleve et al. [15]). The different letters in line indicate significant differences between samples (p < 0.05).
