Development of processed scales for ornamental purpose from fish processing waste and published in Infofish Improved processing techniques for the production of semi-dried fish products. Layout of Processing Plants and Quality Assurance Laboratory for seafood plants.

This technology has wide application for producing various ornamental and decorative items from fish waste (shell) Ramachandran, A & Nair P.G.V. 1989, Processing of fish scales for ornamental use, infofish international, 5/89, FAO, Malaysia.

1989

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 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 processing industry,in Hameed,M.S. & Kurup,B.M (eds.)

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

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) 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) A process control soft ware is developed under the project on Development of Total Quality Management System funded by ICAR. This soft ware 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 soft ware is also forwarded to ICAR.

Development of Chart for identification of Fishes under ASEAN Comprehensi ve Trade Agreement

A comprehensive chart of fish species listed under the 2009 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.

Visual problem appraisal kit with various videos on coastal activities, teaching literature, demonstration book, etc were produced for the use at post graduate levels in three UniversitiesDelft University of Technology, Lowenstein University and Cochin University This helps the students to visualize the various problems and opportunities in the coastal zone of Kerala without visiting the actual locations. The synergy of the CRZ regulations and Peoples Planning Programme is very important for the sustainable use of various natural resources including fisheries and agriculture. The delimitations of CRZ in certain villages in Kerala pose conflicts with the development proposals of the local panchayats. The developmental activities of the coastal panchayats should be in agreement with

Accomplishments
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 processing different products in the same production line in order to ovoid processing loss and spoilage in seafood plants. 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 to avoid loss of yield and unwanted deviations in product quality Under the project on Visual Problem Appraisal of Coastal Kerala, 25 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.

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.

44.(b) NEW GENUS AND SPECIES NAMED AFTER A. 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 southwestern India, where it was found in a high altitude stream with a cascade and riffle pool-type habitat. The water temperature was 19C 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. Betadevario ramachandrani Betadevario ramachandrani Pramod & , Fang Actinopterigi (pesci con pinne raggiate) > Cypriniformes (Carps) > Cyprinidae (Minnows or carps) > Danioninae Etymology: Betadevario: Beta-, the second letter in Greek alphabet, also representing the numeral 2, and used in the meaning of second, and also the name of Beta Mahatvaraj who made great efforts to make the material available for this study; and -devario. With reference to its similarity to the genus Devario, in the meaning of second Devario.; ramachandrani: Named after Professor Alappat Ramachandran, School of Industrial Fisheries, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi, in recognition of his contributions to fisheries and sea food production management and studies on indigenous ornamental fishes..
