This experiment was conducted for 150 days in 15 earthen ponds, 100 m2 in surface area and 1.2 m in depth, at the Institute of Agriculture and Animal science (IAAS), Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal. One cage (1.5 x 1.5 x 1 m and water volume of 2-m3) covered with 1-cm mesh net was suspended in each of the treatment ponds. There were one control and four treatments with three replicates each: carps at 1 ...

Rice flour, corn flour and deoiled rice bran blends were used to prepare ready-to-eat extrudates

Lactic acid bacteria play important roles in various fermented foods in Asia. Besides being the main component in kimchi and other fermented foods, they are used to preserve edible food materials through fermentation of other raw-materials such as rice wine/beer, rice cakes, and fish by producing organic acids to control putrefactive microorganisms and pathogens. These bacteria also provide a s...

Human industrial activities, inevitably, generate industrial wastes, consisting of, inorganic and organic materials, discharged from factories, fisheries, poultries and food processing industries. Degrading or handling these wastes, as unused disposals, without acquiring any additional benefits has led to an idea to develop a suitable technology to utilize bio-organic wastes. Chicken feathers h...

The strict harvest reductions that are needed to rebuild fisheries, said Rice, will be devastating for global communities dependent on fish protein and fishing income. At the same time, pressures from population growth and climate change will lead to even greater dependence on protein from capture fisheries and aquaculture. As a result, social and business pressure against biodiversity conserva...

Penaeid shrimp is a major resource in India contributing about 7.4% of the total marine fish landings. They are mostly landed by small mechanized trawlers. Shrimp trawling generates large quantities of bycatch mostly consisting of juvenile fishes, due to use of small mesh size in codends of trawl nets. Juvenile Fish Excluder cum Shrimp Sorting Device (JFE-SSD) is a bycatch reduction device with...
