Presently, In India there are more than 360 fish processing units, 500 preprocessing units are available from which roughly 50 % of their processing capacity has been disposed as solid wastes. An effective waste management strategy is generally comprised of three parts including waste minimization, waste characterization and waste utilization. In the present study the effective waste utilization strategy has been adopted. Based on the waste characterization mainly considering engineering aspects on waste utilization will be focused in the present study. Presently, economics of commercially available fish waste management system are not suitable at small scale level. Hence, a farmer friendly, an integrated approach towards the waste utilization techniques considering the sustainability of aquaculture production system at gross root level will be considered.
