Otolith chemistry suggests population heterogeneity within a genetically homogeneous Indian scad population along Indian coast.

The Indian scad, Decapterus russelli is one of the most exploited pelagic resources of India. Population genetic analyses using mitochondrial and nuclear markers indicated a lack of genetic structuring among populations from Indian waters. As this species is highly migratory, it is also important to establish the environmental influence on its population structure.

Changes in biogenic amines, biochemical and microbial attributes of three spotted crab () during iced and refrigerated storage.

Three spotted crab () is a preferred variety of crab among seafood consumers. Biochemical, microbial and sensory characters along with formation of biogenic amines of whole crabs stored under iced and refrigerated condition was evaluated. Cadaverine, putrescine and spermidine were the major amines formed during spoilage and a strong correlation between cadaverine and psychrotrophs was observed in refrigerated (0.

Identification of allergic proteins of Flower tail shrimp ().

Allergy to seafood mainly fish and shellfish has been reported. Tropomyosin is recognized as a major allergen in many crustaceans especially shrimps. A study was carried out to identify the IgE reactive proteins of allergic nature in Flower tail shrimp (), a frequently consumed shrimp in India mainly in dried form.
