ICAR-CIFT Annual Report 2017-18
From the Director’s desk
One more fruitful year in the life of ICAR-Central Institute o Fisheries Technology. I am highly delighted to put before you the Annual Report of
the Institute for the year 2017-18. This year also the Institute continued its endeavors in research and transfer of improved technologies.
The most significant achievement of the Fishing Technology Division was the association of the Division in the Blue Revolution Scheme of the Govt. of India by associating with M/s Cochin Shipyard Ltd. in designing deep sea
fishing vessels. Other achievements were surface modification of boat building steel using nano titanium oxide- cerium oxide–manganese dioxide mixtures in different combinations to enhance corrosion resistance, signing MoA with Department of Fisheries, Andaman and Nicobar Administration to design up to 19 m FRP fishing craft for fishermen in the Andaman and Nicobar islands under the centrally sponsored scheme and design of 7.6 m to 14 m fishing crafts of various sizes. The retention and exclusion characteristics of fish species at trawls attached with 40 mm square mesh codend in Bay of Bengal, comparative study on catch characteristics of the low drag and HDPE fish trawls, etc. were also studied.
The Fish Processing Division attempted to develop processing technologies and value added products from emerging fish species, unconventional fishery resources and efficient utilization of fishery waste. Notable studies included freeze chill technology for pufferfish, smoke flavoured chips and fingers from Nile tilapia, instant battered and breaded product mix, ethnic RTE fish products, estimation of benefit-cost ratio of RTE tuna, bio-silaging of fish waste using sugarcane etc. Seaweed and PLA-based bioplastic incorporating different clays, development of oxygen scavengers, freshness indicator and gold nano particles-based temperature abuse indicators were also studied.
The Quality Assurance and Management Division successfully developed and validated a paper strip-based rapid detection kit for checking ammonia and formaldehyde adulteration in fish which is widely been used by enforcement authorities. The division also focused on validation of cold fill and hold process in acidified fish and prawn pickle and collection of geo-referenced data on Cephalopods to identify hot spots of cadmium in coastal fishing grounds. Studies were conducted on matrix-based differential recovery of food-borne pathogens, monitored food-borne pathogens in fish and shellfish species from markets and from harbors. Analyzed samples procured from Kerala, Karnataka and Gujarat region for the presence of ciguatoxin. Pictorial guidelines were prepared for 16 species of fish including farmed freshwater fish, farmed brackishwater shrimp, wild marine shrimp, cuttlefish and marine fish.
The studies carried out at Microbiology, Fermentation and Biotechnology Division revealed that Salmonella occurred in 3.3% of dry fish in Cochin region and Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Urbana, Salmonella Paratyphi B and Salmonella Salamae serotypes of Salmonella were found in seafood samples. Vibrio harveyi was detected in 7.8% of hatchery and aquaculture farm samples. Thiobacillus aquaesulis, a potential sulphur oxidizing bacteria was isolated from an aquaculture farm and further optimization was carried out for immobilization using alginate beads. Metagenomic analysis of aquaculture farm samples for ammonia oxidizing bacterial diversity revealed that Chloroflexi was the dominant phylum followed by Proteobacteria. Three potential quorum sensing Bacillus spp., as an alternate to antibiotics to protect Peneaus monodon post-larvae from Vibrio harveyi infection, were identified. Cronobacter sakazakii was detected in 10 seafood

and aquatic environment samples. This is a first report on detection of C. sakazakii in seafoods and aquatic environments from India. Draft genome sequence of two Methicillin Resistant Staphylococci (MRSA) strains (ST 1 and ST 39) isolated from salted dry fish from Gujarat was completed successfully and submitted to international public domain (ASM).
The Biochemistry and Nutrition Division gave emphasis on the development of thiamine and pyridoxine-loaded vannilic acid-grafted chitosan and pectin-based multiple emulsion as a potential delivery system for squalene. The studies revealed that Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids extracted using super critical fluid extraction from sardine gave better yield and quality of fatty acids when compared to conventional extraction methods. Fucoxanthin and lipid from brown seaweed (Sargassum sp.) was extracted by super critical fluid extraction method. Chitosan nano particles were prepared by ionic gelation method for the entrapment of anthocyanin as an effective strategy to enhance their in vivo bio-availability and in vitro stability. Oral supplementation of anthocyanin-loaded nano particles were found to have hypolipidemic effect in high fat-alcohol fed experimental rats and also protected gastric mucosa against HCl-ethanol induced damage. A marine biopolymer, carrageenan was extracted from the red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii, by hot alkaline water treatment and characterized by FTIR Spectroscopy. Characterized and evaluated seaweed waste as a suitable feed ingredient in fish feed industry. A pain relieving balm with squalene as an active component was also developed, besides a skin moisturizing lotion with collagen, chitosan and alginate as main ingredients.
The Engineering Division designed, developed and commercialized modern, hygienic and refrigeration-enabled mobile fish vending kiosk. Performance evaluation of the newly designed multi-purpose (fish drying, water heating and electricity) solar thermal conversion system with biomass heater backup was carried out. Further, redesigned the existing ICAR-CIFT solar-LPG hybrid dryer with notable innovations. Energy and cost-efficient infrared dryer for fish was designed and developed. Performance evaluation of ICAR-CIFT hand-operated fish descaling machine was conducted to optimize operating conditions for various fishes. A Peltier-based 12 V battery-operated specimen collection and transport cooling device of 5 L capacity was also developed.
The Extension, Information and Statistics Division through their studies identified that the perceived strength and weakness of the fish entrepreneurship development are family support and marketing of traditional fish products in the selected study area and administrative and legal hurdles are the major threats. The opportunity is the Government funded livelihood schemes for the fisherfolk on entrepreneurship development. The Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) for the fisheries enterprise was influenced by personal attraction, perceived behavioral control and professional option. They also identified seven nodes and actors prevailing in the value chain of reservoir system. PESTLE analysis was carried out towards identifying the concerns and opportunities in the reservoir fisheries. The K-Co-efficient and VPA analysis for the suitability of fish species and biomass available for exploitation showed that at Chulliyar, there is scope for exploitation of the mrigal species. The technologies of ICAR-CIFT showed that majority were towards entrepreneurship/industrial application. The consumer preference using conjoint analysis revealed that income is the significant factor in determining the fish purchasing behavior in Ernakulam and Kollam. The construction of the clam processing facility at Perumbalam village under the DST-SEED project has been initiated and two meat-shell separator prototypes have been designed and fabricated. ITKs relevant to the fisheries sector, specifically with reference to fishing and oceanographic parameters, fish shoal identification, fishing craft and gear and fish processing have been documented from nine coastal districts of Kerala.
I take this opportunity to compliment all my colleagues for their immense support and creditable work, and thank the fishing industry, fish farmers, fish processing industry, fish consumers, state governments and the ICAR for all the help rendered in successfully carrying out our activities.

Signed MoA with Department of Fisheries, Andaman and Nicobar Administration: (1). To design 19 m FRP fishing craft for fishermen in the Andaman and Nicobar islands under the centrally sponsored scheme, and (2). To design 7.6 m to 14 m fishing crafts in various sizes under the Blue Revolution Scheme.
Deep sea gillnet trials revealed maximum catch in nets rigged at 0.5 (53.16%) followed by 0.4 (23.56%) and 0.6 (23.26%) hanging ratio. Among different modes of capture, wedging and entangling (37.26%) and wedging alone (29.61%) contributed the most to the catches.
A study using both ‘J’ and ‘Circle’ hooks in hand line fishing revealed 25% escapement from ‘J’ hooks. Comparison between ‘J’ and ‘Circle’ hook has shown that in both types of hooks, the pattern of hooking was almost same and in the case of ‘Circle’ hook, lower lip hooking was 12.5% while in ‘J’ hook it was 6.25%. In ‘J’ hook, 10.7% fishes caught had severe bleeding while no fishes caught by the ‘Circle’ hook recorded severe bleeding. Post-release survival was 100% in fishes caught by both type of hooks.
Comparison study and catch characteristics of the low drag and HDPE fish trawls were carried out. The average CPUE of the low drag and HDPE fish trawls were 17.34 kg.h-1 and 10.58 kg.h-1, respectively. Though the CPUE was higher in the low drag trawl, the species composition of the catches were not significantly different as manifested by multivariate tests like Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) and ANOSIM.
Retention and exclusion characteristics of fish species at trawls attached with 40 mm square mesh codend in trials at Bay of Bengal was assessed. Of the total fish catch 81.4% was retained in the trawl codend and 18.2% was excluded. Overall catch excluded with 40 mm square mesh codend, during the period of observations was about 17.8% of the total catch.

Organization of workshops
A mid-term review workshop to review the workcarried out against the proposed targets wasorganized.Further,towardstheendoftheproject,aNationalStakeholderWorkshopwasorganizedwith36 stakeholders and validated the findings of thestudy.
Quantification of fish loss
Quantified the fish loss from gillnets and trammelnets in terms of: (1). Physical loss, and (2). Lossof economic value due to quality loss. Physicalloss assessment included losses at different stagessuch as pre-harvest, harvest and post-harvest (upto the first sale stage). Of the total fish loss, thepre-harvestlosswasthemaximum,followedbypostharvestandharvestlosses.Pre-harvestlossincurredmainly due to depredation. Maximum loss due todepredation was from mechanized and motorizedsub-sectorstargetingtunaandotherlargepelagics.Amongspecificnets,thefishlosswaspredominantintrammelnetandlobsternets.
