Summary

Milk fish collected live from brackish water culture ponds were used for studies on ice storage. Biochemical parameters such as changes in sulphydryl (SH) group, salt soluble nitrogen, free amino acids (FAA), alpha amino nitrogen and electrophoretic studies were carried out. During iced storage, levels of alpha amino nitrogen, non protein nitrogen, total nitrogen, salt soluble nitrogen and SH groups decreased. Taurine, glutamic acid, glycine and histidine, which contributed to 87% of the total FAA, decreased markedly, which also led to decreased acceptability. Salt soluble nitrogen, as a percentage of total nitrogen, increased.
