The tamarind fruits were collected randomly from different agro-climatic zones and graded into one-seeded pods, two-seeded pods, three-seeded pods, four-seeded pods, five-seeded pods and more than five-seeded pods. In pod grading, maximum graded pods were observed in the trees of the North-Western zone (one-seeded pods-23 Nos., more than five-seeded pods-28 Nos.) and North-Eastern zone (two-seeded pods-22 Nos., three-seeded pods-24 Nos., five-seeded pods-14 Nos.) of Tamil Nadu. The pod biometric characters viz., pod length, pod width and pod shell thickness were studied for fruits collected from different agro-climatic zones. North-Western zone recorded highest pod biometric values in one-seeded pods, three-seeded pods and more than five-seeded pods. The trees of the Cauvery delta zone recorded maximum pod biometric values in two-seeded pods.

Lesser Sardines and Silver Bellies were found to be the major trash fishes in Cochin harbours. Triacanthus biaculeatus (Common name: Silver Bellies; Vernacular name: Mullan), has been caught frequently in trawl catches. Commonly, Mullan was not utilized due to its bony nature and coarse skin. Therefore, value added product (cutlets) was developed using minced trash fish by combining T. biaculeatus (35.2% yield) with Tuna to enhance the sensory properties. Best results were obtained in cutlets prepared with 25% trash fish and 75% Tuna. However, 50% trash fish with 50% Tuna combination was more economically viable.
