Processing
techniques of
fin rays from
the whale
shark,
Whale shark was discarded as a waste by the fishermen after
removing the liver. Now with the development of the method
for extraction of fin rays it fetches more than Rs. 2000/- per kilo.
It is estimated that on an average one Whale shark is now
fetching about Rs. 100,000/-.

Development
of processed
scales for
ornamental
purpose from
fish
processing
waste and
published in
Infofish
This technology has wide application for producing various
ornamental and decorative items from fish waste (shell)

Improved
processing
techniques
for the
production of
semi-dried
fish products.
The research paper on this technology was presented in the First
Indian Fisheries Forum of Asian Fisheries Society (Indian
Branch) and secured BEST PAPER AWARD.
The method will help to retain its natural characteristics of the
fish with good consumer appeal and at the same time can store
at room temperature

Laboratory
for seafood
plants.
Several Quality Control Laboratories were established based on
the model lay out proposed in Veraval Region, Gujarat
(Ramachandran, A. 1995. Multidisciplinary approach for
facilities design
and layout for quality control laboratory in seafood

Priority rules for
processing
different
products in the
same production
line
This Priority Rule if followed in seafood industry will help to
ovoid processing loss and spoilage in seafood plants.
Large number of Seafood processing companies are now
adopting this method
(Ramachandran, A. 1994, Simple priority rule for processing
in seafood processing plants, Seafood Export Jl., XXV (19), 1
– 6.)
1994
Work
Measurement of
the process of H
L Shrimp
This is to eliminate the unwanted handling and unwanted
activities during the entire production process to reduce the
Production Cycle Time to improve the quality of the product
(Ramachandran, A. 1990, Work measurement for the
production of frozen headless shell-on shrimp in seafood
processing plants in Kerala, in.

1990
Sea urchin is
an important
unutilised
resources The
process
proposed is to
extract the
sea urchin
roe from
export
Sea urchin roe is a high value product of great demand
in Japan and other South Eastern Countries.
The judicious utilisation and production of sea urchin
available in the East and West coast would help in
additional employment generation and foreign
exchange
(Ramachandran, A.1991, Sea urchins and its
utilisation with special emphasis on Japan, Infofish
international, (FAO), Malaysia, 5/91, 20 – 22)

Standardized
peeling
process for
shrimp
Peeling of prawns for the production of PUD Shrimp
and PD shrimp is a vital process which decides on the
quality of the final frozen product or canned product.
Lack of standardized process of peeling –both Manuel
and machine – results in loss of water soluble proteins,
other nutrients and the texture of the products. This
standardized process proposed would help to retain not
only physical and chemical quality but yield of the
product.
(Ramachandran, A. & Hameed, M.S. 1997.
A comparative study between machine peeled and
hand peeled shrimp, in James, D.G. (ed.) Asia-Pacific
Fishery Commission, FAO Fisheries Report
No.563,Rome, Italy, pp. 321-327)
1997
Development of
process control
Software
A process control software is developed under the project on
Development of Total Quality Management System funded
by ICAR. This software helps to tract the deviation taking
place in the process of prawns in the factory and helps to
make immediate remedial action. This will help improve the
yield of production and avoid unnecessary loss of high value
products. The software is also forwarded to ICAR.
2006
Development of
Chart for
identification of
Fishes under
ASEAN
Comprehensive
Trade
Agreement
A comprehensive chart of fish species listed under the
Negative List of the India-Asean Free Trade Agreement with
details such as photographs of fishes, harmonized code, species
name, common trade and local names, description of the
species and significance of inclusion under the Negative List
has been brought out by Prof Ramachandran, School of
Industrial Fisheries of Cochin University of Science and
Technology, for the benefit of the fishermen and trade.
The chart was released by the Union Minister of State for
Agriculture at a function held in Ernakulam.
The list also contains several dominant fishes not native to the
Indian subcontinent as a measure to prevent such fishes and
products from competing with Indian fishes in the local
markets.
Free market Indian exporters will get a wider tariff free market
to create a single free-trade area for the region encompassing
500 million people.

Processing techniques of fin
rays from the whale shark,
1990 Whale shark which was discarded as a
waste by the fishermen. Now it
fetches more than Rs. 2000/- per kilo.
It is estimated that on an average one
Whale shark is now fetching about Rs.
100,000/-.
Development of processed
scales for ornamental
purpose from fish
processing waste
1989 The processing plants in Gujarat have
a large volume of Scales of big fish
varieties going as a waste. The
technology developed helps to convert
these waste materials into very useful
coloured scales which can be used for
the production of artificial flowers and
for similar uses. Thus value is added
to the waste to market as a new
product

Layout of Processing
Plants and Quality
Assurance Laboratory
for seafood plants.
1995 A model layout for quality control
laboratories were a necessity when
MIPQC system was introduced in
seafood processing plants.
Accordingly this model layout was
very useful for many processing plants
in Gujarat to develop their laboratory
facilities for self-inspection
Priority rules for prioritizing
the production flow when raw
materials arrive at random in a

8 projects as above has been successfully completed
Under this project potential indigenous ornamental fishery resources in different rivers and other water bodies in Kerala were documented and its availability assessed as per Cites Rule for developing an export trade from India. This information is being used by exporters and well as other ornamental fish traders. This is expected to generate additional employment opportunity to the tune of 25000 at different levels like ornamental fish collectors in remote villagers, conditioners, transporting firms, wholesalers, retailers, exporters, etc. It is also expected to develop a new export trade in the country especially in the state of Kerala using these neglected resources with 5 billion dollar business world over. This has also helped in showing the people that small fish which is otherwise destroyed by illegal methods like dynamiting; electrocution and poisoning when edible fishes are caught are more valuable and fetch income to them if adequately protected.
a. A website is created in the name of www.ornamentalfishes.org under the project to promote on-line ornamental fish marketing. This website is very useful for farmers, traders, exporters and importers in identifying the various indigenous fish wealth available in India and to place orders for them for export.
b. Processing techniques of fin rays from the whale shark, which was discarded as a waste by the fishermen. Now it fetches more than Rs. 2000/- per kilo. It is estimated that on an average one Whale shark is now fetching about Rs. 100,000/-
Over 25 research papers and over 15 technical articles are produced from these projects and published in national and international journals. Several of the findings have been presented in international and national conferences and seminars

c. Development of processed scales for ornamental purpose from fish processing waste and published in Infofish International of FAO, United Nations, Malaysia.
d. Layout of Processing Plants and Quality Assurance Laboratory for seafood plants.
e. Priority rules for processing different products in the same production line in order to ovoid processing loss and spoilage in seafood plants and published in Seafood Export Journal. Number of Seafood processing companies is now adopting this method.
Under the project on Development of TQM model for seafood industry gap analysis was done to identify the gaps in the existing system and the proposed TQM system in the Industry so that it can be filled to implement the developed TQM model for quality improvement and productivity. The software developed under this project will help control the process in the seafood plants in India. Under the project on Visual Problem Appraisal of Coastal Kerala, 21 documentaries were produced for the benefit of the Post Graduate Students and researchers to get a proper insight on the real issues in Coastal Kerala and propose solutions to resolve the crisis. Two exercise books were also prepared out of the project for the use of Post Graduate students in Fisheries and related fields. 23. Impact of the contributions in the field concerned:
1. Additional employment generation
2. Socio-economic upliftment of the society in general
and promotion of export and internal trade in
particular of seafood and indigenous ornamental
fish
3. Increase in foreign exchange to the country
4. Improvement in quality of the products produced
and exported
5. Development of new audio visual tool developed
under one of the project will improve the
perception of the students at post graduate level in
fisheries and related fields to analyze the situation
in coastal regions especially fisheries in developing
countries

RAMACHANDRAN
“New genus and species of danionine fish described
Copyright © Beta Mahatvaraj
Scientists from Sweden and India have described a new genus and species
of danionine fish.
Betadevario ramachandrani was collected from the upper Sita River
drainage in south western India, where it was found in a high altitude
stream with a cascade and riffle pool-type habitat.
The water temperature was 19°C and pH 6.4 at the time of collection.
The new genus is named after the Greek letter beta, denoting two (and used
in the meaning of second), and also honouring Beta Mahatvaraj, who
helped make the material available for study.
The specific name honours Professor Alappat Ramachandran.
The discovery of the new species (as a new species of Danio) was reported
two years ago in a news article here on the Practical Fishkeeping website.
