Description

The effects of combination treatment of salt content and radiation against D. maculatus for the reduction of damage to dried swordfish were investigated. The developmental period of first instar larvae was prolonged with increasing salt content in fish sample. No adults were emerged from the first instar larvae in dried swordfish containing 14.48% salt. Maximum mortality of first and last instar larvae was found in 9.90 to 14.48% salt containing dried fish sample at treated with 1 kGy radiation dose within the two days after treatment.(author)
