Matís employees have completed a report on water and ice in fish processing in Sri Lanka. They have been overseeing research in this area for the past year and a half and have been working on the final results of the report.
This is a collaborative project of the Icelandic International Development Agency, the Ministry of Fisheries of Sri Lanka and NARA, the Directorate of Fisheries of Sri Lanka. Matís employees were hired to work on this project from 2006 and interpret the data in the final results of the report. Viggó Marteinsson and Hrólfur Sigurðsson, employees of Matís' microbiology department, presented the results at a meeting at the Sri Lankan Ministry of Fisheries last week.
At the same time, two NARA employees were presented with recognition documents for a two-week course they attended at Matís in Iceland in November.
