Fish waste biomasses are locally available resources which contain nutrients. Fermentation of the biomass produces slurries used for plankton production and plant/agri-nutri use. Bio-refinery of fish waste material can be converted into value added biological products such as biofuels, industrial chemicals, animal and fish feed, human food, neutraceuticals and organic fertilizer, etc. Fish proc...

Fish proteins are found in the flesh, head, frames, fin, tail, skin and guts of the fish in varying quantities. Unutilized fish and fish processing waste can be used to produce fish proteins which contain amino acids and many bioactive peptides. After removing the fish flesh during the fish processing operation, all other parts are considered wastes which are not properly utilized. The aim of t...

A framework for the integration of poultry and fish production in the tropics and sub-tropics is proposed. Poultry may be integrated with fish culture in several ways and benefits extend to both. Both poultry production and processing wastes have value as nutrient inputs to fish and the water used for fish culture can be used for evaporative cooling of poultry and fertilization of crops. The co...

Based on the nutrient requirement of blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus fingerlings as reported earlier, nine experimental diets with 350 g protein, 80-100 g lipid and 16-17 MJ digestible energy/kg diet were formulated using snail meat (D-1), freshwater fish processing waste (D-2), surimi by-product (D-3), chicken offal (D-4), earthworm (D-5), squid (D-6), mussel (T-7), chicken liver (T-8)...

We studied the hygroscopic properties of gelatin from waste-products after processing common fresh-water fish species form Astrakhan region (skin, scales, bones, fins, and cartilage) as an object drying. The analysis thermodynamics internal mass transfer was carried out during interaction substance specified product with water. objects study were concentrates obtained by convective-radiation dr...

The world fisheries and aquaculture supplied about 142 million tons of fish in 2008, of which 115 million tons was used as human food, providing around 17 kg (live weight equivalent) per capita/per person. Aquaculture accounted for 46% of total food fish supply, a slightly lower proportion with respect to that reported in the past. Huge amount of fish and other marine organisms were eliminated ...

Fish and fishery products are rich in protein. With the growing world population and increase in awareness on health benefits of fish consumption, there is an ever increasing demand for high quality fish protein diets and this could also be met through maximum utilization of fishery resources. In practice, fish is preserved by different methods like freezing, canning, salting etc. The preparati...

Industrial biotechnology processes have recently been exploited for an economic utilization of wastes to produce value added products. Of which, fish waste is one of the rich sources of proteins that can be utilized as low cost substrates for microbial enzyme production. Fish heads, tails, fins, viscera and the chitinous materials make up the wastes from fish industries. Processing these wastes...

In order to utilize low economic value fish for human consumption there is a need for development of novel process for production of acceptable, shelf stable and ready to eat products. The preparation of extruded products from cereal-fish mince mixture is gaining more importance world over and as it offers many process variables to get acceptable high quality products. With more and more fish i...
