Description The seafood industry of India has gone drastic
changes over the years in suiting the eating
habits and consumer preferences toward the
fish products. India is gearing up to produce and supply value added products in convenience
packs by adopting the latest technologies and
by tapping the unexploited and under exploited
fishery resources. There has been considerable
structural change in the seafood processing
and export industry for the last few years. Large
quantities of fish/shellfish are discarded at sea
because it is currently uneconomic to preserve
and bring them ashore It has been estimated
that the global amount of discard of by-catches
is in the range of 17-39 million tons/year with an
average of 27 million tons/year. Factors
discouraging the landing of the by-catch are the
low market value of the material, the size and
species composition, the lack of suitable
refrigerated storage space on-board and overexploitation of most the available species in the
inshore areas. The rapid development of the
value addition of fish products over the last four
decades made a major contribution to the
increased exploitation of these deep sea
varieties and the by-catches. It has been found
that consumption of fish may be greatly
increased by making better use of the existing
catch. Due to lack of infrastructural facilities like
ice plants, landing facilities etc. the quality of the
fish is downgraded particularly in developing
countries leading to their use as aquaculture
feed. Through improvement in infrastructure
facilities, the quality of the landings can be
upgraded for direct human consumption. The
upgradation of these species may be achieved
by use of improved handling and processing
techniques on one hand and developing
different products on the other preparation of
value added product using a species in glut it is sure way of better utilization and distribution of
the species when the landing is scanty.
