Diversification in utilisation of trash fish by gamma irradiation

Radiation pasteurisation enhances the shelf stability of trash fish varieties and enables the grading of fish depending upon the freshness quality. As against the ice-chilled fish which spoils within 8-10 days, exposure to 100 Krad and storage at ice temperature helps in maintaining the quality in Grade I, II or III up to 10, 20 or 25 days respectively. The improvement in quality thus provides scope for greater utilisation of trash fish for various secondary products.
