Fish Harvesting and Processing

B.R. Selvamani (Author) R.K. Mahadevan (Author)

Synopsis The wealth of aquatic resources was assumed to be an unlimited gift of nature. Fish contribute substantially to the world supply of animal protein, either directly or through their use as feedstuff for livestock. Fishing, fish processing and fish trading have provided food, employment and income in coastal and inland communities for centuries. Fishing is an ancient and worldwide practice with many techniques and traditions, and it has been transformed by modern technological developments. Increased incomes and appreciation of the dietary value of fish are spurring the demand for fish and fish products in the industralised countries. In the developing regions, population increases and the need to tap every potential source of food and foreign exchange provides the main impetus for increased fishing activities. By describing the fundamental principles and technologies involved in fish harvesting and processing, the book gives a comprehensive overview to the subject. It also offers diverse information on these crucial processes in fish industry to make the readers up-to-date with the latest developments in this field where scientific information has not only been fast but enormous too in the last decade.
