Abstract:
This study was materialized to analyze the management issues
regarding the seafood processing waste generated including its impact on the coastal
community in one of the important seafood hubs of India Aroor Seafood Industrial Belt Alappuzha District Kerala The area has witnessed serious pollution issues related to seafood
waste and seldom has any action been implemented by either the polluters or the preventers
Further this study is also intended to suggest a low cost eco friendly method for utilizing the
bulk quantity of seafood solid waste generated in the area for the promotion of organic farming
The high nutritional value of seafood enables the subsequent offal to be considered as an
excellent source for plant nutrition The liquid silage accepted worldwide as the cheapest and
practical solution for rendering fish waste in bulk for production of livestock feed is adopted in
this study to develop foliar fertilizer formulations from various seafood waste The effect of
seafood foliar sprays is demonstrated by field studies on two plant varieties such as Okra and
Amaranthus
