Abstract
Seer, a marine fish and cat fish, a fresh water fish, were compared for their amenability
to radiation preservation during storage at 2-30C employing sensory, bacteriological and
biochemical parameters. Although both the fish varieties exhibited a two-fold extension in
shelf life by radiation treatment at 1-3 kGy over controls, the biochemical parameters tested
(TMAN and TVBN) failed to monitor the quality of fresh water fish (cat fish). On the other
hand, with respect to marine fish (seer), biochemical and microbiological quality correlated
well with sensory evaluation data
