Fish used as human food accounts for 78 per cent of the total fish catch in developed and developing countries, leaving about 21 per cent for non-food uses. During processing operations generally the fillets are retained while the bulk of product is discarded in the form of skins, bones, scales, viscera, head etc. This indicates, a minimum of 4 MT of fishery waste has been generated every year, even though it is scattered in the domestic and industrial sector. Disposal of process discard is a major constraint in seafood industry as these discards are easily perishable and often invites public resistance in view of environmental pollution. Hence, even though seafood process waste is identified as a certified resource for many biological molecules, the processors are disposing it off at a meagre revenue. Conversion of fish waste to high value end products is a wiser option for the industry as they can potentially generate additional revenue as well as reduce the cost of disposal of these process discards. Though, several protocols for these products have been developed, the application of the same in various fields are limited due to various technological and logistic reasons. Moreover as primary productivity still remain as a focus area of our country to support growing population, seafood process waste can be considered as an ideal organic source of nitrogen and minerals for primary as well as secondary production. Even though, a number of related technologies are documented in literature, no dedicated attempt has been made in the country for addressing the complete value chain process covering the point of waste generation to the point of application. Moreover, assuring the energy and water efficiency is critical in ensuring the sustenance of the process in long run. The present paper addresses the vital issues and technological constraints, and possible mitigational measures are suggested. Not Available |
