Technical Officer (T9)Artist’s perspective of CIFT SPTS

Trawling industry in India tended to beshrimp-oriented, due to its economicimportance and export value. The Indiantrawler fishermen cannot depend on shrimpalone for viable commercial operations anymore, due to proliferation of trawlers andoverfishing of target resources. There are over29000 trawlers operating in small-scalemechanised sector of India (CMFRI, 2006).Trawler fishermen require to adopt

appropriate fishing gear to expand their reachto harvest large demersal and semi-pelagicspecies which are beyond the reach ofcurrently existing designs of shrimp/fishtrawls. Responsible fishing regime, which ispromoted in India and around the world,requires that selectivity of the gear has to beimproved and its negative environmentalimpact has to be reduced, in order to protectthe biodiversity and environment and to

ensure long-term sustainability of the fishery resources. Itis in this context, CIFT has developed a semi-pelagic trawlsystem, for the benefit of the mechanised trawling sector.

Resource specific trawls for semi-pelagic resources havecomparatively low impact on the benthic biota (Brewer etal., 1996; Mounsey and Prado 1997; He, 2007). In the semi-pelagic trawl system the otter boards remain in touch withthe bottom, but the trawl floats at some distance above thebottom. Different aspects of semi-pelagic trawling and itsadvantages in the Indian context have been discussed byVijayan et al. (1996), Vijayan et al. (1998), Remesan et al.(2003), Vijayan et al. (2003a), Vijayan et al. (2003b), Anon(2006), Vijayan and Baiju (2006), Devadasan andBoopendranath (2009), Boopendranath (2009) and Vijayan(2009). Semi-pelagic trawling of different designs are inuse in Australian and North-Atlantic waters, targeted atsnappers, blue whiting, silver smelt, Atlantic mackerel andother semi-pelagic resources, prevalent in these waters.

CIFT semi-pelagic trawl system

CIFT semi-pelagic trawl system, christened as CIFTSPTS was developed as an alternative to shrimp trawling inthe small-scale mechanised trawler sector, after extensivefield-testing. It is capable of attaining catch rates beyond200 kg.h-1 in moderately productive grounds and selectivelyharvest fast swimming demersal and semi-pelagic finfishesand cephalopods, which are generally beyond the reach ofconventional bottom trawls, currently used in commercialtrawl fisheries in India. The version of CIFT SPTS releasedrecently by CIFT was developed by a team of researchersof Fishing Technology Division of CIFT, viz. Shri V. Vijayan,Dr. M.P. Remesan, Dr. P. Pravin, Dr. S.K. Panda, Shri V.R.Madhu, Shri M.V. Baiju, and Dr. M.R. Boopendranath, underan ICAR funded Institute Project, Development Studies onResponsible Trawl Systems, operated from Cochin (Kerala)and Veraval (Gujarat), based on earlier investigations onsemi-pelagic trawls by Shri V. Vijayan, Dr. M.D. Varghese,Shri P. George Mathai, Dr. V.C. George, Shri P. Dawson,Shri R.S. Manoharadoss and Shri M.V. Baiju (Vijayan etal., 1996; Vijayan et al., 1998; Vijayan et al., 2003a; Vijayan

et al., 2003b; Vijayan and Baiju, 2006). CIFT SPTS hasbeen developed and perfected after extensive field trials andobservations, using acoustic gear monitoringinstrumentation and inference from statistical evaluation ofcatch, over an extended period.

The system consists of an 18 m four panel semi-pelagictrawl with double bridles, front weights of 25 kg each andvertically cambered high aspect ratio otter boards (trawldoors) of 85 kg each.

Advantages of the CIFT-SPTS over the conventionalshrimp/fish trawl systems practiced in Indian fishingindustry

Major advantages of the CIFT SPTS over theconventional shrimp/fish demersal trawl systems in voguein Indian fishing industry are enumerated below:

• Conventional bottom trawls are proven to cause highbottom impact on the benthos. As the semi-pelagic trawlis designed to operate at some distance above the bottom,the bottom impact of semi-pelagic trawl is significantlylow, making it an ecologically friendly gear, comparedto bottom trawls.

• Results of performance evaluation and biodiversityanalysis have shown that CIFT SPTS has significantlyhigh resource specificity for off-bottom (semi-pelagic)finfishes, which are generally large in size, fastswimming and exhibit shoaling characteristics.Conventional bottom trawls have poor resourcespecificity and size selectivity and have greater impacton biodiversity and sustainability.

• Conventional bottom shrimp and fish trawls have lowvertical opening, mostly limited to 1-1.5 m and hencetheir catches are limited to species living close to thebottom. Due to higher vertical opening up to 4 m realizedin CIFT SPTS, resources that are beyond the reach ofconventional bottom trawls, could be efficientlyharvested.

• Significantly high sheer-drag ratio of vertically camberedhigh aspect ratio otter boards, makes the system energy-efficient, compared to conventional flat rectangular andV-form otter boards. The vertically cambered high aspectratio otter boards have dual-purpose capabilities and canalso be deployed for conventional bottom trawling.

CIFT SPTS is indigenously developed and is best suitedto Indian fishing conditions and fishery resources. The gearsystem has been developed and optimized taking intoconsideration the biological, behavioural and distributioncharacteristics of tropical demersal and semi-pelagic finfishand cephalopod resources and technical capabilities of thesmall-scale mechanised trawler fleet, operating in Indianwaters. About 2 million tonnes of estimated potential fisheryresources in the Indian Exclusive Economic zone would beaccessible to the semi-pelagic trawl system.Rigging of CIFT Semi-pelagic Trawl System

who also offered felicitations on the occasion. Dr. LeelaEdwin, Head, Fishing Technology Division, CIFT welcomedthe gathering; Dr. T.K. Srinivasa Gopal, Director, CIFTpresided over the function; Dr. M.R. Boopendranath,Principal Scientist gave a brief introduction to the newtechnology and Dr. P. Pravin, Senior Scientist offered Voteof Thanks.

Operation of CIFT SPTS, off Cochin

Trawler fishermen in India cannot depend on shrimp andassociated species alone for viable commercial operationsany more, and there is need to adopt responsible alternatetrawl systems for harvesting large demersal and semi-pelagicspecies. CIFT SPTS has been developed and perfected afterextensive field trials and observations onboard, over anextended period. Its adoption and responsible use will be aboon to the Indian small-scale trawling industry, to enhancefish production and profits and minimize environmentalimpacts of trawling. Shrimp trawls when operated shouldbe equipped with Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) andshould target shrimp alone, in order to conserve fisheryresources and minimise biodiversity loss due to trawling.CIFT SPTS with exchangeable codends (55 mm codend forsmall demersals like mackerel and horse mackerel and 166mm codend for tall bodied fishes like pomfrets) is prescribedfor harvesting non-shrimp trawl resources.

Presently catfish farming is gaining importance as analternative to carps in different parts of the country;accordingly its contribution to the overall fish production ison the rise. The main species of catfishes recently adoptedfor culture with Indian major carps are yellowtail catfish(Pangasius pangasius) and sutchi catfish (Pangasianodonhypophthalmus/Pungasius sutchi). Since the fish doesn’thave intramuscular bones, the flesh can easily be filleted.The absence of fishy odour, delicate flavour and the firmtexture when cooked allow a wide range of preparationswith Pangasius fillets.

The Fish Processing Division of CIFT, Cochin hasinitiated studies for developing post harvest technologiesand value added products like balls, nuggets, pickle etc. from

Pangasius sutchi – An emerging species for value addition

the farmed P. sutchi fillets. Fishes weighing 1.5-2 kg arethe preferred size for harvest and marketing. Largespecimens weighing above 2 kg contain significant quantityof subcutaneous fat and collagen in meat, and to beconsidered as inferior in table quality. Average yield of fishafter gutting was found to be 76.8% and fillet yield fromgutted fish was about 42%. Pangasius steaks had a shelflife of 15-17 days in chilled storage. Storage studies of wholeand gutted samples in iced condition indicated a markeddifference in the quality of meat. The colour as well as thetexture was significantly better in the gutted samples. Shelflife of balls and nuggets during cold storage was found tobe 15 and 11 days respectively. Smoked steaks preparedfrom P. sutchi stored in chill room were found to beacceptable upto 27 days.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune diseasethat causes chronic inflammation of the joints, a potentialdebilitating inflammatory disorder that affects more thanseven million people in India every year. The most suitableremedy for the treatment of arthritis is to rely on the use ofnon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). But mostNSAIDs available today have their negative side effects asthey block the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase I(COX I) which otherwise produces metabolites required forthe normal homeostasis. Natural drugs/nutraceuticals whichcan selectively inhibit the activity of COX II duringinflammation are the need of the hour. Clinical trials onrheumatoid arthritis patients who relied on fish oil as asupplement of their diet have shown decreased jointtenderness, joint pain, swelling and morning stiffness.

The objectives of the study conducted in Biochemistry& Nutrition Division of CIFT, Cochin were to study theefficacy of Centrophorus scalpratus (CS) liver oil againstComplete Freund’s Adjuvant-induced arthritis and tocompare the anti-inflammatory activity of this oil with atraditionally used anti-inflammatory substance-gingerol(oleoresin extracted from ginger).

Thirty wistar strain male Albino rats were divided into

Effect of Centrophorus scalpratus liver oil against CFA-induced arthritis in Albino ratsfive groups of six animals each and were fed with standardrat feed throughout the experiment (36 days). Group I servedas normal control, Groups II, III and IV were induced witharthritis using CFA (0.01 ml suspension in paraffin oil – 10mg/ml heat killed Mycobacterium tuberculosae injected intoright hind paw), the animals were allowed to developmaximum inflammation (as recorded by monitoring the pawsize) till the 14th day and from the 15th day onwards, GroupsIII and IV animals were treated with the CS liver oil andgingerol respectively. Group V served as the control groupfor the fish oil administered – no inflammation induced buttreated with the CS oil from the 15th day.

The major results of the study were as follows.Significant lowering (p<0.05) of paw size/edema and asignificant increase in bodyweights for III and IV animalswere noted from the 15th day of the experiment. Significant(p<0.05) increase in liver weight of Group II animals wasalso observed. The faster multiplication of acute phaseproteins during inflammation might be the probable reasonfor increase in liver mass noticed in Group II animals. Theresults of bone histopathology indicated peri-articularinflammation with edema and infiltration ofpolymorphonuclear neutrophils and lymphocytic cells,synovitis and synovial hyperplasia as well as a severe lossof cartilage and bone in Group II animals whereasadministration of CS oil reduced leukocyte infiltration,inflammation, hyperplastic synovitis, erosion of articularcartilage and osteolysis and stabilized lesions in Group IIIand IV animals.

The presence of inflammation was confirmed with thesignificantly (p<0.05) elevated levels of marker enzymesof cyclooxygenase (COX), myeloperoxidase (MPO) andnitric oxide (NO) levels. COX levels were significantly highin paw tissue homogenates of Group II, III and IV animals;however there was a significant inhibition of COX II (70%)activity in Group III and IV treated animals, thus highlightingthe anti-inflammatory properties of the CS oil and gingerolextracts. Corresponding and significant decline (p<0.05) in

The landings from reservoirs in the state of Kerala aremainly sold as fresh fish resulting in low returns to thefishermen. Absolutely no value addition is taken up and themuddy flavour of the carps restricts trade in the premiumconsumption market. Chulliyar reservoir in Palakkad districtis a highly productive reservoir with average monthlyproduction of Rohu up to 90 tonnes. The entire productionis sold as fresh fish at the rates fixed by the State FisheriesDepartment through the Fish Sales Counter at Chulliyar.Consumer preference studies conducted in Palakkad regionindicated good demand for healthy fish based snack itemsamong the consumers. A survey on willingness to payconducted among the middle class group also indicated thatthe consumer is ready to pay more for a healthy and safesnack. The CIFT, Cochin has initiated a sub-project on‘Responsible harvesting and utilization of selected smallpelagics and freshwater fishes’ under the Component 2(Production to Consumption System) of the NAIP. Theproject envisages multi-fold improvement in profitabilityand employment generation in fisheries sector through

Setting up of Community Processing Centreproduct diversification, value addition, waste minimizationand utilization and effective marketing of fishery productsin partnership with farmers groups, the private sector andother stakeholders. A potential group of women belongingto the Chulliyar SC/ST Reservoir Fisheries Co-operative

in setting up the zero waste fish processing unit and haveimparted training in the production of fish based value addedproducts.

Shri Sultan Singh has been working in this field for thepast 27 years. The certified farm and processing unit arespread over a sprawling 27 acres of land and has a capacityto process one tonne of fish per day. The plant is expectedto improve the economic status of hundreds of familiesengaged in fish farming in the village ponds, and otherentrepreneurs. Several equipments and machineries for theproduction of value added products have been imported fromChina. The products like fish nuggets, burgers, fingers, ballsetc. are being prepared and marketed under the brand name‘Fish Bite’. The Unit is designed in such a way that eventhe waste from fish processing would be converted into fishfeed, thereby setting a fine example of zero waste agriculture.The fish and fish products from the farm are of superiorquality.

The project is expected to open a new gateway to theentrepreneurs of Haryana, to market their produce. Withthe vision of establishing more successful ventures in thisfield, the Unit is also acting as a training center forprogressive farmers and scientists.

The ZTM-BPD unit is providing further assistance toShri Sultan Singh in strengthening their marketing channelby establishing retail kiosks at Delhi, Punjab, Haryana andMaharashtra. It is envisaged that in the near future, thisinitiative shall reach new heights through setting up of foodchains, with a large variety of fish and fish products all overIndia and abroad.

The potential food safety problems with bivalvemolluscan shellfish is recognized internationally, and mostcountries have regulations that control the place from whereit is collected. In 1997, the FDA implemented the SeafoodHACCP Regulation that significantly advanced consumerprotections from seafood contaminants by requiringprocessor measures to prevent the introduction ofcontaminants into the seafood. Bivalve molluscan shellfishaccumulate contaminants from the water column in whichthey grow. These contaminants may then cause illness tohumans when the bivalves are eaten raw or in partiallycooked form. Bivalves may be rendered safe for humanconsumption by a process known as ‘Depuration’. It is aprocess by which shellfish are held in tanks of clean seawaterunder conditions which maximize the natural filteringactivity which results in expulsion of intestinal contents,which enhances separation of the expelled contaminantsfrom the bivalves, and which prevents their recontamination.It is required to protect the customers and to satisfy therequirements of legislation in regions or counties to whereit is exported. In general, all bivalve molluscs may besubjected to depuration in order to remove micro-organisms.While oysters have had a reputation as a delicacy in manycountries on a world-wide basis, the main hazards associatedwith the consumption of oysters arise from themicrobiological contamination of waters in which they grow,especially when the bivalve molluscs are intended to be eatenraw. Outbreaks of typhoid, cholera, dysentery, hepatitis, and

Field level Demonstration of Depuration System for Bivalvesvarious forms of gastroenteritis have been linked to theconsumption of contaminated oysters.

Under the DST project entitled “Location specificlivelihood intervention in fisheries sector for theempowerment of fisherwomen in Kerala”, in operation atCIFT, Cochin a field level demonstration on depurationsystem for oysters was conducted at Moothakunnam, Cochinon 11th March, 2011. Dr. Femeena Hassan, Senior Scientist,Quality Assurance and Management Division & PrincipalInvestigator of the project imparted a brief introduction onfood safety problems associated with consumption ofcontaminated oysters and need for depuration to thestakeholders. They were also given a demonstration on thedepuration system designed by the project team.

The training session that followed led by Dr. Bindu andDr. Ravishankar included demonstration on hygienic methodof gutting fish and proper salting and drying techniques.The training was assisted by Ms. K.B. Biji, SRF, CIFT andShri Radhakrishnan, SSS, CIFT. Simultaneously the method
