Nutrient Composition of Phosphorus Enriched Compost from Seafood Processing Unit Waste

Seafood is gaining in popularity because of its health benefits. At the same time, large amounts fish waste are being generated, mostly from industrial processing fish. These quantities have not been utilized efficiently, and disposal can negative impacts on local environments. Unutilized often disposed by land fill or incineration, dumping into sea. Therefore, there an urgent need to find ecologically acceptable means for reutilization waste. In this study, samples collected characterised. The was acidic pH (6.1) with EC 3.8 dSm-1. total N, P, K 10.17, 0.20 0.74 % respectively. It also had appreciable amount organic carbon content 46.22%. Fish mixed saw dust (2:1) Rock Phosphate - Phosphorus (RP-P) at rate 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 10 enrichment compost results showed that application different levels reduce pH, slightly increased EC, N,P,K Organic content. Thus, rock phosphate enriched could be alternative viable technology manage solid generated seafood industries as well crop production.
