Fish Meal and Solubles 718 References 722 Introduction It is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate major trends in the utilization of fish and shellfish catches. Primarily, this is due to the fact that a substantial portion of the fish catch nowadays is processed more than one way. In other words, there is an appreciable discrepancy between the methods employed for primary utilization and the preser­ vation methods which industry uses for final preparation of the prod­ ucts for market. In the future it would be most desirable if a clear distinction could be made between the handling and preservation of 19. TRENDS IN UTILIZATION OF FISH AND SHELLFISH 639 the original catch, and the final processing and marketing of the fish. The utilization pattern would then emerge as quite modified in many countries. A few examples will clearly illustrate these implications. More and more fresh market fish is not actually the original raw fish as captured but fish which has been frozen and then defrosted and, in many cases, also filleted. Another example: only very small quantities of fish are now preserved directly by smoking. Most of the raw material being used for this purpose consists of either salted or defrosted frozen fish. Further­ more, freezing has moved up as one of the major methods for rapid preservation of vast quantities of raw material and makes a substantial contribution to the canning industry by providing readily available, high-quality raw material. This is largely true in the Soviet Union, and applies to the French sardine industry as well as the salmon and tuna industries of the United States. Many more examples could be mentioned to illustrate this growing gap between the primary utilization and the final pattern, which might be some two or three stages removed from the initial preservation. Very few statistics allow an adequate analysis of this problem. The situation is further complicated by the fact that although most figures refer to primary utilization, some countries submit official figures showing the final use. A few such cases will be anayzed further below. There is no consistent ruling in this respect. In a few cases, the figures reflect both the primary and secondary utilization, that is, the same fish is counted both as frozen and canned or both as salted and smoked, which also contributes to the confusion. This means that often the total amount of fish which, according to the statistics, is being utilized may exceed the total catch, thus implying that the country imports, which may not be true. Recognizing these difficulties, certain general trends can still be envisoned and a few important con­ clusions drawn as to the present trends in fish and shellfish utilization (see Tables I and II). II. Fish Catch per Capita The utilization pattern naturally is largely determined by the size of the catch in relation to the population of each fishing nation. It is one thing to meet the domestic needs of a human population; to what degree profitable and reliable markets are developed in other countries is quite another matter. As one uses the term "subsistence fishing" in relation to the fisherman's own family, one may use this term in relation to a whole country. Most nations are in this sense either self-sustaining with fish, or short of their needs and have to resort to importation to fill the regular needs. The United States is the leading buyer on the TABLE I £ UTILIZATION OF TOTAL FISH CATCH BY AREA (1960) Total catch (1000 metric Fresh Freezing Curing Canning Reduction Miscellaneous Area tons) (%) (%) (%) (%) (%) (%) World 37,700 40.0 9.0 19.0 9.0 20.0 3 Japan 6192.5 22^6 12.8 43.6 67 13.9 04 Soviet Union 3500 15.5 30.5 30.2 11.8 10.8 0.1 Peru 3501.4 2.3 0.5 0.6 1.9 94.7 — o United States 2796.9 30.0 11.2 1.3 22.8 34.4 0.2 8 Norway 1598.9 10.8 9.7 26.8 3.0 48.8 0.1 8 India 1159.9 47.9 — 43.7 — 8.4 — United Kingdom 1070.6 79.8 11.2 2.6 0.9 3.0 2.4 § Canada 915.2 20.6 29.9 30.8 7.2 9.3 2.4 O Ί C/3 Spain» 836.7 65.9 — 8.9 12.4 2.8 — ?!

  • Introduction of an Improved Fish Smoking Method in Andhra Pradesh,India
    Information Bulletin 14 Introduction of an Improved Fish Smoking Method in Andhra Pradesh,India Post-Harvest Fisheries Project Department for International Development Chennai, India This report gives an account of the traditional fish smoking practices in Andhra Pradesh, India, and the findings of a DFID Post-Harvest Fisheries Project pilot study to develop an improved method of smoking based on existing practices, which at the same time is more efficient and cost-effective. It summarises the trials and the comparative efficiencies of the traditional and improved kilns. Activities under this study were taken up in two phases: Phase I, from June to December 1994, was mainly concerned with standardising a prototype design which is technically, economically and socially suitable for local conditions and practices, with the participation of the traditional processors. Stage Il. from February to May 1995, concerned developing a full tledged smoking kiln which could smoke quantities of fish or shrimp equal to that smoked in an average traditional kiln. In the last stage, a more pennanent brick-and-cement kiln was constructed on the suggestions of the processor-women. This report is divided into 4 parts. Part 1 describes the traditional smoking methods. Part II summarises activities in the pre-pilot stage. Part III concerns the pilot phase of the study. Part IV describes the implementation of the activity by the concerned agencies, and the lessons learned by the project in managing the sub-project. The Project thanks the Department of Fisheries, which assisted in successful management of the trials; the District Collector, East Godavari; the District Rural Development Agency, Kakinada; the Backward Classes Development Corporation; tinkers at Kakinada; the various government and non-government agencies and individuals, who provided the necessary encouragement at every step; and most importantly.

  • History of Maldivian Fishing
    History of Maldivian Fishing Traditionally fishery is the main occupation and major livelihood of the Maldivian. It is also the second largest industry in the Maldives. The main methods of fishing are pole and line for Skipjack tuna. The second most important fish caught is the yellow fin tuna. The main fish products exported are; frozen fish, canned fish, dried fish and salted dry fish. The traditional fishing vessel, a sailing ‘Dhoni’, is less than 15 feet long. Thatch sails were used in the early days of fishing, which have been replaced by sail-cloths and rowing. The Maldivian fishery is famous in the world for its dolphin friendliness. The modern fishing vessel revolutionized the Maldivian fishing industry, enabling the fisherman to sail further distances. It meant that the direction and speed of the wind were no longer determinants of the distances traveled by fishermen in search of fish. Establishment of cold storage facilities was another important landmark in the development of the fisheries industry. In the past, the Maldives exported tuna primarily in the dried and smoked form called ‘Hiki Kandumas’ or 'Maldive Fish' to Sri Lanka. Maldives also exported other forms of fish products to Japan and Thailand.

  • An Analysis of the Post Tsunami Domestic Fish Marketing and Consumption Trends in Sri Lanka
    IIFET 2006 Portsmouth Proceedings AN ANALYSIS OF THE POST TSUNAMI DOMESTIC FISH MARKETING AND CONSUMPTION TRENDS IN SRI LANKA S.P.M. Jayantha and Tanaka Hideki Dept. of Food and Environmental Economics, Graduate School of Biosphere Sciences, University Of Hiroshima, 1-4-4, Kagamiyama, Higashi Hiroshima, 739-8528, Japan. [email protected] and [email protected] ABSTRACT Seafood is a staple for most Sri Lankans and the country is a net importer of seafood, because of the heavy consumption. Tsunami has had crippled the Sri Lanka’s main protein supply system and thousands of others in marketing chain lost their jobs. The main focus of the study was to trace the impact of tsunami on domestic fish marketing and post tsunami fish consumption trends in Sri Lanka. Rapid Market Appraisal was carried out to obtain a cross-country comparative perspective on domestic marine fish marketing and mapping the supply chain. Rapid market appraisal was based on semi- structured interviews with key informants of the domestic fish marketing system and the field observations of knowledgeable observers. Three to five participants from each stage of fish marketing system were interviewed to obtain a reliable picture. Marine fish production (dropped by 76%) and fishing operations are long away from the pre-tsunami situation. Tsunami has had devastated the marine fish marketing infrastructure along the south and east coasts, including harbors, landing sites, auction halls, municipal fish markets, private fish stalls, trading vehicles, ice plants, cold storage facilities and processing plants. Tsunami’s impact on domestic fish consumption led to trade losses and badly affect on the fish consumption in coastal villages than the cities where they have better consumption opportunities.

Box 02, Belihuloya [email protected] 2Department of Agribusiness Management, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, P.O. Box 02, Belihuloya Abstract The fisheries sector is a vital oceanic resource that build the core of the Blue Economy. However the realization of the full potential of the Blue Economy calls the requirement of effective inclusion of all societal groups, especially women whose contribution is not well acknowledged. The study focused to investigate the fisherwomen’s contribution on decision making, participation and governance in production, marketing and investment and to measure the fisherwomen’s share in consumer rupee and also to find out the opportunities for traditional fisherwomen into professional careers. Questionnaires, field observations, participatory mapping, telephone interviews were applied to collect the primary data. The sample composed of 5 case studies of selected fishing communities in Sri Lanka; Kudawella, Gandara, Ambalangoda, Beruwala and Jaffna. The results revealed that the decision making power was concentrated among males. Maldive fish value chain was female dominated but pricing and investment decisions were influenced by the male members of the family. The women’s contribution towards investment decisions was poor. Fisherwomen share in consumer rupee of Maldive fish and Dried Tuna Fish ranged from 3.7- 3.9% and 8.5-10% respectively. The results indicated that the superfluous involvement of intermediaries keeps female-fishers and markets separated and discouraging them to be market responsive.
