Fish Preservation for common people

Fish being an perishable item needs to be stored in chilled condition. Its not possible to save the freshness of fish to a longer duration. Hence a type of preservation is needed to save the freshness.

The traditional methods of curing and smoking is being outdated because of its unhygeinic conditions prevailed during preservation. The Frozen fish though is simpler and hygeinic, its rather difficult for the common people to relish for a small penny. Moreover the frozen fishes after thawing (melting the solid state to original state of fish) loose or leach the precious nutrients from it. The frozen fishes are hence targeted to export. Now the question is how best it could be preserved with keeping the freshness and its nutritive factors intact.

Canning is an method of preservation of fish for keeping its freshness and intrinsic nutrient characters intact. CIFT- Kochi has provided with very good technoloy where the canned fish are served as Ready to eat or serve products by giving a product as Rice in fish masala packed in tetra packs. Though its costlier, in future days this should emerge as a good food and should come to a level where the common man can relish at a afforded price.

Fishing ban! Threat or boon to fisherman????

Fishing ban is not seen else where, other than so strict in the west coast of India. Due to this fishing ban, most of the fisherman along the coast doesnt venture in the sea. There are advantages as well disadvantages because of this ban on fishery.
The main reason for the ban on the fishery is because to avoid exploitation of the brood stocks that migrate from the offshore to near by coast or even the estuaries for breeding purpose. The ban usually starts during the onset of monsoon from the first week of June to the mid week of August, covering a ban of almost 45 days. The fishing at this moments also fetch small fishes which is not actually a marketable size and there by making the juveniles not to grow. This is more evident during the monsoon fishery where even as small as 12 cm sized oil sardine or mackerel lands to the market.
The fisherman are at a complaint that this is not fair in their part as even some fishes spawn almost through out the season, hence the ban is of no use to the fishery. The Researchers say that actually 40 species of the fishes are spawning during the monsoon months, the favourable conditions during this period help the fishes spawn at this period. Adding to this they have also proven that almost all these 40 species are of commercial importance. Hence the ban is necessary for the survival of stock.
The scientific reasons behind these ban understands us is the importance in keeping the fish stock through out the year. More over the fishing units have increased drastically as compared to few years back. The fishing pressure is so high that it will be very difficult to maintain the fishing trips regularly. The investments for the trip far exceeds the gain through fishing.
The one more important help for the fisherman due to this monsoon fishery ban is from the life threatnings from the nature because of cyclones that will flourish every may end or june first week. Even though this wont be expected by the fishermen as the fishing itself is always a risky business.

River Water!!!

River system being the most vulnerable system often fall a victim of pollution. The day to day activities starts from the word "WATER". The water is being drawn from the nearby river system and is fed into the human hands through the pipelines and taps. The water is trapped and stored for the usage of human beings for thier "survival - in life". Do you feel the water stored is enough for al lthrough out the life? Hence why we should pollute the water which is the most precious item in our day to day life.
The importance of water should be known by each and everyone more than the usage of water. Recently in Drought prone area of Afganistan there was a clash bettween the closest communities for WATER. And also few people were killed and other few injured. So the next world war is certainly will be for WATER, if the precious drop is not saved from rain or niether the river is polluted.

Fish Protein stand first

The protein in fish contains sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids required by the body for growth and maintenance of lean muscle tissue. The protein in fish as well as similar foods of animal origin make up complete protein sources.
The protein source can be important to lose weight because high quality proteins such as the protein in fish can be used to maintain an active metabolism. Low quality protein does not contain all essential amino acids required for use in protein synthesis and means the protein must either be used for energy or converted to fat.
If someone follows a calorie restricted diet there is less chance the protein will be converted to fat but more protein used for energy means less fat is used from fat stores resulting in slow weight loss progress!
Concl: The fish protein stands first among all the meat and dairy products
