Some basic principles offish processing in Nigeria is reviewed to provide information for fish
culturist to effectively manage the processing of their products. Processing of fish into forms for human
consumption or suitable to be used as a supplement in animal food has been neglected in fish culture practices.
This may be due to the high technology required in some of the processes and the fact that those involved in
actual fish production are ignorant of the different processing methods. In other to prevent fish deterioration,
every fish processor must strive to employ the best method possible in handing fish to maximize returns on
processing investment. Fish canning, mince fish, fish silage, acid silage, fermented silage, composition of
silage, nutritional value of fish silage, fish meal, raw materials for fish meal production, general processes in
fish meal production: wet process, dry process, composition and quality, problems in fish processing,
production of fish meal locally, local alternatives, comparison between fish silage and fish meal, product
evaluation, quality control assessment methods, fish storage, fish anatomy and physiology, chemical
composition of fish, fish spoilage types, fish off-flavor management and control, off-flavor mechanism, offflavor
in live fish, other causes of off-flavor in fish, natural chemicals in fish, culture system and fish off-flavor
control are reviewed to provide information for fish culturist to effectively manage the processing of their
products.
