Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation purchases fish in several pre-processed forms. Quality standards are established for all fish delivered and are vital for fish destined for the fresh market or further processing at the central plant in Winnipeg. FFMC Quality Assurance Manager, D. Kjarsgaard (above right), completed a routine field trip in February 2002 to meet with agents and fishers on Lake Manitoba (David Olson, above left) and Lake St. Martin, to ensure quality standards and that changes and new pre-processing techniques are being communicated to fishers.
