Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized food manufacturing job that salt-preserves salmon and handles aging, drying, and packaging. Requires hygiene management and quality maintenance skills.
Description
Salt-preserved salmon manufacturing workers handle processing steps such as salting, aging, drying, and packaging using salmon as raw material. First, they perform raw material selection and preprocessing (gutting, washing), then salt the fish using table salt. Subsequently, in the aging and drying processes, they strictly manage temperature and humidity to enhance flavor and preservability. Finally, they cut, package, and box the product to complete it for shipment. Work is done in a low-temperature environment, with hygiene and quality control being crucial. The main work is line operations, but they also handle machine operation, cleaning, and maintenance, requiring the ability to work efficiently in a team.
Future Outlook
In an aging society, demand for easy-to-eat processed foods remains steady. However, since domestic fish consumption is flat, exports to overseas markets and new product development will be keys to future growth. Introduction of automation and labor-saving technologies will advance, placing greater emphasis on efficiency and hygiene management capabilities.
