Abstract
Icing of prawn is a very important step for maintaining good quality of the material. Prawns should be beheaded and stored well-iced immediately after they are taken out of water and should be maintained in this condition until processed in the factories. This may involve a couple of days to a week's storage in ice according to the conditions. During storage of prawns in ice, many changes take place in the muscle of prawns and attempts have been made by many workers to follow and make use of these changes to assess the quality of the ice stored prawns. The paper studied the whole part of ice stored prawns related with the quality of the same.
