The involvement of these marketing intermediaries provides services like head loading, processing, preservation, packaging and transportation of fishes which results in addition of cost. The present study examines the chain of custody of fish marketed in Cochin City and its associated safety and quality issues. Among the data isolated, major intermediaries involved in the fish marketing channels of Cochin were identified and the role of each intermediary in the chain was covered in detail. Quality concerns associated with the transportation of fish from the primary stage to consumers were also examined. In addition, surveyed landing centres, fishing harbours, wholesale and retail markets were also monitored for assessing the limitations of infrastructure which could bring up serious issues in terms of safety and quality. The microbiological (TPC, MPN) studies performed confirmed the progressive increase in microbial load as the fish travels from one stage to another. The organoleptic study (Quality Index Method (QIM)) substantiated the loss in freshness and quality of the fish as the chain prolonged. It could be concluded that the seafood products available from domestic markets of Cochin City requires a strict monitoring according to the standards proposed by authorities like FSSAI (Food Safety Standards Association of India) so that the public health should not be challenged by health issues.

  2. Sameera Shamsudheen and Alappat Ramachandran INTRODUCTION Fish is an important source of protein and its harvest, handling, processing and distribution provide livelihood for millions of people as well as providing valuable foreign exchange earnings to the country (FAO/WHO, 2010). It is a highly perishable food, which requires proper and hygienic handling throughout the chain by which it is marketed to the consumers. The “Chain of Custody” of fish and fishery products can be defined as the set of measures which is intended to guarantee that the fish product put on the market is really a product of designated origin and produced from the assured fishery concerned. The measures include both the tracking/traceability of the product throughout the processing, distribution and marketing chain, as well as the proper tracking of the documentation and control of associated quantity (FAO,2012). The chain of custody starts with a producer and ends with the ultimate consumer involving a number of intermediaries in between. The involvement of these marketing intermediaries provides services of head loading, processing, preservation, packaging and transporting of fishes and these activities results in cost addition at every stage of marketing (Bishnoi, 2005). Present study concentrates on the chain of custody of fresh fish marketed in Cochin City and the associated safety and quality issues. Major intermediaries involved in fish marketing channels of Cochin were identified as fish traders, wholesalers, commission agents and retailers. Due to the unhygienic and disordered transferring of fishes between these intermediaries, there exists possibility for the occurrence of safety and quality issues to the final product delivered to the consumers which may result in serious health problems. This study also investigates the role of concerned authorities in monitoring and rectifying the possible issues correlated to the chain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary data regarding the chain of custody of fish marketed in Cochin City (Ernakulam district, Kerala state, India) was collected through a questionnaire based survey (Survey questionnaire design, 2012) conducted from August 2014 to November 2014. For gathering data, several survey techniques were adopted (Table 1). Table 1 Details of preferred study areas in Cochin City Si no Sites covered Categories of people interviewed 1.

Wholesale market Ernakulam Fish Market In order to study the safety and quality issues associated with the chain of custody of fish, microbiological and organoleptic analyses were performed for preferred samples from harbor, wholesale market and retail outlet. Total plate count (TPC) and E.coli identification were carried out as per Bacteriological Analytical Methods proposed by USFDA (2001). Ice samples collected from harbor were tested for the presence of total faecal coliforms using MPN (Most probable Number) method and the test was done as per CIFT Laboratory Manual (2006). Quality Index Method (QIM) was employed for organoleptic analysis of fish (Larsen, Heldbo, Jespersen and Nielsen, 1992). Data collected from different sources like national/international reports, academic journals, books, E-Journals, NGO publications and government records on chain of custody were used as secondary data. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The chain of custody of fishes marketed in Cochin City was examined. The results obtained from the study were discussed with reference to Lakshmanan et al., (1984), Bishnoi (2005), Rasmussen (2012), and Das et al., (2013) and the results are as follows (Table 2): http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 281 editor@iaeme.com

  5. Chain of custody of fish marketed in Cochin City: Safety and Quality issues In this case study, sardines and mackerels were found to have higher consumer preference with respect to other marketed fishes, since they are cheaper in cost and easily available irrespective to seasonal occurrence. Hence, more emphasis was given to the chain of custody of these fishes (Figure 1) rather than the rest. Figure 1 Chain of Custody of sardine and mackerel The most employed Chains for transfer of fishes in Cochin City are the following (Fig 2) Figure 2 The most employed Chains for transfer of fishes in Cochin City Table 3, provides details about the role and activities carried out by the major intermediaries involved in the fish transfer chain. http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 283 editor@iaeme.com

  8. Sameera Shamsudheen and Alappat Ramachandran Figure 6 Filth content in ice used for fish storage QUALITY ISSUES The major transfer points in the chain of custody of fresh fishes were identified. The bacterial load present in the fishes was recognised by carrying out Total Plate Count (TPC) analysis. Test for presence of specific bacteria entering the fishes through direct contacts with faecal contents (E.g.Escherichia coli) were accomplished using T7 agar (Costa, 2013). Ice used for storage of fishes during transfer, was also subjected to MPN analysis for identifying the microbiological quality (faecal coliforms) of water used in ice making. Finally organoleptic analysis of 10 separate samples of fresh fishes collected from harbor and fish market were performed to substantiate the deterioration in quality of fresh fish before it reaches the consumer. Microbiological assessment of the samples taken from different transfer points of the chain Table no.4 shows the Total plate count (TPC) result of the random samples collected from harbour, wholesale market and retail outlet respectively. Microbiological analysis was carried out in Mackerel (Rastrallinger kanagurta) in order to find out the bacterial load present within. As per the regulation provided by FSSAI, the bacterial load is not supposed to increase more than 1 X 10 3cfu/g (FSSAI, 2009) for fresh Mackerel species. But in this case, the samples were found to have more TPC value than the fixed standard value. Lakshmanan et al., (1984) stated that the bacterial load increases in fishes due to improper and unhygienic handling as it is transferred from one point of the chain to another. Out of 3 samples collected, most amount of bacterial load was found to be in retail outlets (11 x 103cfu/g) in which the chain of custody was much lengthier including more number of chain actors and transfer points. From the harbor, fishes were transferred immediately by the wholesalers where it was kept in custody of the wholesalers without proper icing for more than 2 hours which is a major issue for bacterial load. Transfer of fishes from wholesalers to retailers was also subjected to time consumption. Absence of hygienic handling also accounted as a major factor for the increase in bacterial load. http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 286 editor@iaeme.com

The results illustrated that the fishes landed in harbour were found to have E. coli, which might have got in the fish either due to careless and unhygienic handling or from direct contact with faecal matters. Costa (2013) evidently indicates that this specific bacterium enters the raw fish from the surroundings which were found to be contaminated with faecal matter. Since the fishes after auctioning was immediately iced by the agents, E. coli was found to be absent in samples from both the markets (as per Costa (2013) E. coli shows 95% reduction in iced condition). Table 5 Identification of E. coli Sample Date of sampling Source of sample Result number 1 20/11/14 Fishing harbour Positive (dark yellow centered colonies present) 2 24/11/14 Fish wholesale market Negative 3 27/11/14 Fish retail outlet Negative Table 6, gives the results of analysis (MPN) of ice sample collected from harbour. The analysis was carried out with reference to Surendran et al., (2006). The result provided above positively demonstrates the presence of faecal coliforms in the ice used frequently for fish storage in harbor. This can be quality issue related to the fishes sold in markets. If the ice used for fish storage is not clean, there is a high chance of fish getting contaminated and it also will affect the safety of the people consuming it. The results were compared with Sudhanadh et al., (2011). http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 287 editor@iaeme.com

Jonsdottir (1992) substantiates that evident deterioration in fresh fish quality can be noticeably revealed using QIM. Out of the maximum score taken as 20, the harbour results were found to be more acceptable than the retail outlet samples. In the harbour the samples, maximum score came as 10 and least as 6. But in the case of retail outlets the maximum came as 12 and minimum as 8. This variation clearly shows the deterioration of quality of fish as it passes through different transfer point before it reaches the outlet. http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 289 editor@iaeme.com
  12. Sameera Shamsudheen and Alappat Ramachandran CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Fresh fishes which appear to be in good and healthy condition in the market display are not healthy and safe as it seems. The stated factor was confirmed and proved through surveys in specific sites and microbiological, organoleptic analysis done from selected samples. Even though proper cooking of fish and addition of natural preservatives before consumption reduces the risk of causing related diseases to a certain level, carelessness shown by the people associated with fish catching, marketing and handling may result in serious health issues. The quality and safety problem arises right from the beginning step that is fish catching. Fish caught will be already having bacterial load due to the highly polluted water bodies which is further increased by the unhygienic handling done by the fishermen as well as the contaminated surface to which fish comes in contact after catching. The contamination is well increased as it passes through a long chain of custody before it reaches finally to the consumer. Correction should be done for the prevention of hazards in the following steps of the chain as recommended below. Role of FSSAI in ensuring Safety of fresh fish/fish products available in domestic markets The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has been established under Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 for ensuring the safety of the consumers. All the eatables like fruits, vegetables, meat products including fish, dairy products, processed products, semi processed and ready to eat products comes under the consideration of FSSAI. All the eatable products available in Indian market meant for sale should have FSSAI registration. They are found to take action against almost all the food products both exporting and importing, but they give least importance to the domestic fish products available in local fish markets. In Cochin City the FSSAI district office is located at Thripunithura (Ernakulam, Kerala, India). As per the information provided by the officials in the office, the safety and quality issues concerned with the fresh and chilled seafood products available in the domestic markets in the City are not coming under the concern of FSSAI. They are not taking any initiative in monitoring the conditions prevailing in the harbors and in other specific parts of the distribution chain. They do not adopt any initiative in preventing the possibility of occurrence of safety and quality issues associated with the consumption of fresh and chilled seafood products. From the study conducted, it could be analysed that the seafood products available in domestic markets of Cochin City is not safe for consumption as it may cause serious health issues in future to the consumers. The authority under which the fresh fishes come under is FSSAI so the authority should try to bring under consideration the problems associated with the distribution chain of fresh fishery products so that any possibility for occurrence of any disease outbreaks or any other health issues can be prevented before it occurs. The authority should also try to train the people associated with the distribution chain on importance of keeping personnel cleanliness and about the possible hazards which may arise due to careless handling, delay in icing or due to use of untidy ice for fish and shell fish storage. The Local Self Government also has the responsibility to properly maintain the infrastructure required for marketing fish with good quality for domestic consumption. This fact must be seriously considered and proper action should be taken to ensure the safety of the consumers. http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 290 editor@iaeme.com
