Profitability is the major issue in fishing, particularly in the small-scale sector. Fuel accounts for about 70% of the operational cost of fishing vessels.
Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). It has a number of commercial and possible biomedical uses.
CIFT has developed different models and capacities of Solar Dryers for hygienic dying of fish. Designs of solar dryer vary from very simple direct dryers to more complex hybrid designs.
The technology introduces a hybrid solar drying system for commercial production of dry fish hygienically by using environment friendly abundantly and freely available renewable solar energy.
This hybrid Solar Dryer is having a S.S. tray drying area of 6 sq. m with an alternate electrical back up heating system. Effective harnessing of solar energy using specially designed solar air heating panels and proper circulation of this hot air...
The Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (ICAR) has designed and developed a fishdescaling machine for removing the scales of fishes in batches.
Designed and developed a Fish Meat Bone Separator with variable frequency drive motor. The meat yield of the machine was about 60%. In existing imported models, only two speeds are possible which restricts the yield efficiency.
Glucosamine hydrochloride is a popular supplemental form of the joint nutrient glucosamine. Glucosamine is the most important building block of joint cartilage.
Value addition and diversification to satisfy the ever changing and diverse demands from the importing countries as well as urban consumers at home are some of the major challenges faced by Indian processing industry.

Fish Kure is a fish based extruded food product and have application as snack food. Usually, extruded products are prepared using cereal flour, which have less protein content and are limited in some essential amino acid.
This technology emphasizes to reduce or recover and reuse process water and solids from the plant. A conceptual design was proposed for the treatment and disposal of effluent generated with all operations from raw material to finished products.
Value added product is preferred by the consumer for its convenience and it’s ready to use nature. It also provides better return and increased profits to the entrepreneurs.
Collagen chitosan membrane derived from collagen of fish air bladder and chitosan from prawn shell is intended to be used as an artificial space making barrier over periodontal bony defects- specifically in infrabony 2-3 walled defects and grade II..
An innovative value added product has been developed using a new processing method by smoking and drying skip jack tuna meat which is similar to the commercially available masmin flakes.
Like vegetable pickles, fish pickle has also gained popularity in the recent past. Fish/Prawn pickle, when carefully prepared under most hygienic conditions with addition of required quantity of salt, preservatives and spices will have generally.....
Liver oils of some deep sea sharks mainly Centrophorus sp. found under a depth of 300 – 1000m in Pacific, North Atlantic and Indian Ocean contain 85% – 90% unsaponifiable matter which contains the hydrocarbon squalene.
The proof of the pudding is in its eating. All fishing efforts ultimately aims at the fish consumer with a variety of choices and needs. Today, the busy homemaker throughout the world wants products which can be served off the shelf.
Isinglass is prepared from fish maws (dried air bladder). Fish maws is soaked in water for 24 hours, washed and extruded, dried at 450 c and then powdered. It is mainly used for the clarification of wines.
Coated product is one, which is coated with another foodstuff. Two types of coatings are in common use. They are batter and breadcrumbs. Seafood specialties, fish portions (raw and precooked), shrimp, fish fingers, scallops, fish balls, fillets etc..
Shrimp is washed in chilled water containing 5ppm chlorine, beheaded, deveined and again washed in chilled water. Bamboo stick is then pierced between the shell and the meat from head portion to tail and then cooked in 1% brine for two minutes.......
Shark fin ray is a valuable byproduct from the shark. The shark fins are dried, soaked overnight in 10% acetic acid solution. The skin and the softened muscle are scraped off and the rays are separated individually.
Mackerel, tuna, sardine, crab, shrimps etc can be packed in oil, brine, curry & sauce and heat processed in aluminium tin cans. These have a shelf life of more than one year at ambient temperatures.
This technology emphasizes to reduce or recover and reuse process water and solids from the fish processing plant.
