Post-harvest loss reduction and value-addition of freshwater fish- Acting as the Coordinator cum PI

Freshwater fisheries suffer from huge post-harvest loss every year from harvest to retail distribution, due to lack of technical know-how and improved handling, preservation and distribution devices.  The losses may encounter up to 28 % of the total fish production, where about 15.5% accounts for fresh fish quality loss. Post-harvest losses are not only a great concern of food security and public health but also of serious economic loss that the fishermen and  traders suffer year after year.  It is therefore imperative to reduce post-harvest loss of fish by the improvement of fish handling, transportation, preservation and distribution methods and devices.
