Abstract
The aim of this study was to highlight the potential economic benefits of fisheries industrial waste silage by the dint of its ability to be recycled efficiently in animal feed. Fish silage was produced by acid hydrolysis. The fish silage was ripened and became half-liquid, at room temperature in 12 days. Its odour became less pungent and was deemed to have an acceptable malt smell. The silage cost was found to be 0.72 TL/kg. The results of this study established that, the use of silage instead of fish meal, reduces the cost of feed by 21%. Therefore fish waste products, previously considered as a refuse and causing environmental pollution, can be reintegrated into the economy.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance.
The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
