problem for the seafood processing industries in India. Formic acid fish silages
and fermented fish silages were prepared using the waste. The silage
preparations were stored for 90 days. Samples were drawn on
0,2,3,5,7,14,30,60 and 90th days of storage. The pH and various biochemical
parameters like, total nitrogen (TN), non protein nitrogen (NPN), total volatile
base nitrogen (TVBN), tri methyl amine (TMA) and peroxide value (PV) were
carried out. Microbial analyses, viz., total plate count (TPC) and most
probable number (M.P.N) of coliforms were carried out for formic acid fish
silage preparations, whereas for fermented fish silage preparations, acid
producing bacterial count (APBC) and M.P.N of coliforms were determined.
All the combinations of fermented fish silage preparations studied,
preserved well. A pH of not more than 3.8 was necessary for the formic acid
fish silage to be preserved for 90 days. All the silages, which preserved well,
were used for making fish feed. The pelletised feeds were fed to common carp
tCyprinus carpio) fingerlings. The feeds were consumed by the fishes within
15 minutes of feeding.
