Abstract
The efficiency of candling cod fillets was studied using various values and colours of light transmitted through the cod flesh and various values of incident light. It was found that there was no advantage gained in using other than white light for transmission through the fillet. It was also found that a low level of incident light was desirable if the maximum number of parasites is to be detected.
