Cuttlefish nidamental gland was blanched in boiling 5 per cent brine for 2, 5, 10 and 15 minutes to standardise the blanching condition. The sample blanched for 5 minutes was found to have the best sensory qualities. Sub-sequently, glands blanched under these standardised conditions were packed in cans in brine and were subjected to thermal processing in a retort. Thermal processing conditions were standardised by processing the cans under different retorting conditions. Out of these, the retorting temperature and the process time of 121.1°C and 25 minutes, respectively was found to be the best with respect to sensory qualities and could produce a commercially sterile product. The Fo value attained by the process was 11.25 minutes with a total process time of 30.54 minutes. The storage study of the product over a period of three months showed that it has good stability at ambient condition and has a shelf-life of more than three months. The present investigation delineates that cuttlefish nidamental gland can be used for the production of ready-to-eat thermally processed product, which can be stored at room temperature for long periods.Keywords

The food and feeding habits of the marine cat fish, Osteogeneiosus militaris (Linn.,1758) off Mumbai waters was studied. The species was found to be carnivorous and predacious in feeding habit. Index of preponderance values indicated that, it feeds mainly on crustaceans (shrimps, crabs), molluscs (bivalves, squids) and small fishes (Coilia spp., ribbon fish). Among the food groups, crustaceans dominate throughout the year in comparison to molluscs and fishes. In the crustacean group, Acetes spp. was found to be the dominant food item contributing to 43.34 per cent followed by penaeid shrimps, which shared 27.65 per cent of the total food in all the months. Analysis of month-wise percentage food composition revealed that, the species fed the highest percentage of Acetes spp. during the month of November (34.92%) while penaeid shrimps was consumed in the largest percentage in January (35.10%). With respect to the size (length) of the fish, the percentage of Acetes spp. as a food item was highest (52.99%) for the length group of 391-420 mm and lowest (25.64%) for 361-390 mm. The guts were found to be empty for fishes having length of more than 420 mm. Results of the feeding intensity delineated that, the species is not a voracious feeder as none of the individuals studied was found to have gorged or full stomach over the entire period of investigation. Among the different length groups, the highest feeding fishes were in the length group of 211-240 mm. Gastro-somatic index was highest during August for males and during November for females while the pooled value was highest in January (3.206).Keywords

The meristic and morphometric characters as well as the length-weight relationship and condition factor of the marine cat fish, Osteogeneiosus militaris (Linn.,1758) off Mumbai waters was investigated. Based on the meristic characters, the fin formula can be written as; DI,7, PI,10-11, V6, A18-22, C17-19. The morphometric characters of indicated high degree of correlation among the compared characters. The length-weight relationship of the species is given as, W = 0.000006 L3.05 for females, W = 0.000008 L3.01 for males and W = 0.000007 L3.03 for pooled sexes which implies that the species found off Mumbai waters has isometric growth. The co-efficient of co-rrelation between length and weight was found to be very high (r = 0.981, 0.962 and 0.977) for females, males and sexes pooled, respectively. The condition factor was found to be higher for females than those of the males. This indicates that females are in better condition compared to males. The seasonal variation observed in the condition factor for both the sexes could be related to reproductive cycle and feeding.Keywords
