    A RE-DESCRIPTION OF THE LITTLE KNOWN RABBIT FISH SIGANUS LINEATUS(CUVIER AND VALENCIENNES)(PISCESSIGANIDAE)WITH NOTES ON SIGANID FISHES OF THE VEMBANAD LAKE
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1985) KURUP, B. MADHUSOODANA; SAMUEL, C. T
    Siganus lineatus (Cuv. and Val) is reported from the coast of peninsular India for the first time and a detailed description of it is given based on morphology and meristic characters. It differs from the other allied species of the genus Siganus Forskal in having an oval body without spots and having fifteen parallel longitudinal golden yellow bands, relatively larger last dorsal spine, maxillary position far below the level of the orbit and cheek with distinct rows of scales. S. javus (Linnaeus) and S. canaliculatus (Park) were also obtained from the Vembanad Lake. Short notes on the habitat, occurrence, abundance, seasonal and geographic distribution in relation to fluctuating hydrological conditions of the Vembanad Lake are incorporated together with a key for their identification

    Some Fungal Infestations of Dried Fishes in Cochin
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1985) GUPTA, RANU; SAMUEL, C. T
    Dried fish constitutes a regular item of trade in India, particularly in the interior parts far away from the sea and rivers. The poor section of the society is the main consumer. The quality of dried fish never receives much attention at any stage of processing (drying) and storage. A good amount of these fish is discarded during drying due to fungal growth to avoid the danger of mycotoxin production. A survey of the dried fish from the Cochin markets had revealed that they do carry fungal infestations and their chances of mycotoxin production cannot be ruled out as the strains of Aspergillus fiavus, Aspergillus ochraceus and Fusarium spp. have been isolated.
