Promotion of alternative protein source for forest people is nowadays a raising option for stakeholders to face decrease of wildlife population. This study aimed at assessing the consumption pattern of freshwater oyster Etheria elliptica among harvester groups and the potential of oyster meat as substitute protein source to bushmeat based on acceptability, availability, lower price and nutritious value criteria. Data were collected on oyster meals and consumption frequency during harvesting season using food frequency questionnaire, followed by a survey on comparative price and availability of oyster and bushmeat over the year. Literature information was also investigated on nutritious quality both of oyster and bushmeat. Six oyster traditional meals were reported in study area. The great majority of survey participants (78%) had consumed oyster meals on daily basis. About two oyster meals were eaten per day both by young (age < 40 years) and old people underlying acceptability across age groups among respondents. Outcomes indicated availability of oyster meat kept in ash over the year at lower price than bushmeat partly due to anti-poaching enforcement. Meat chemical composition of smoked oyster was similar to bushmeat. Consequently, oyster meat was likely a potential alternative protein source to bushmeat. Outcomes from this study are of great importance for Park managers for promoting alternative protein sources for forest people around protected areas in Benin and African countries.<#LINE#>Hoffman L.C. and Wiklund E.@Game and venison–Meatfor the modern consumer@Meat Sci., 74, 197–208(2006)@Yes$Fa J.E. and Brown D.@Impacts of hunting on mammalsin African tropical moist forests: a review and synthesis@Mamm.

During storage at room temperature (27-310C), the percentage of moisture and TVB-N value was increased significantly (p<0.05) whereas total protein, lipid and ash contents were considerably decreased. The values of moisture (%) content and TVB-N value were increased 10.74% and 20.46 mgN/100g (16th months) in S+G-C while 11.90 % and 21.39 mgN/100g (12th months) in S+G-K respectively. The percentage of protein, fat and ash content were decreased 42.66%, 28.75% and 17.34% in case of S+G-C (16th months) and 61.91%, 4.50% and 21.71% in case of S+G-K (12th month) respectively. The study showed that natural curing agent like salt and garlic extend the shelf life of fish products and among these two types of salt-garlic treated smoke-dried fish products, Chapila fish has better shelf-life because of it fatty texture.<#LINE#>Ojutiku RO, Kolo RJ and Mhammed ML@Comparativestudy of sun drying and solar tent drying of Hyperopisusbebeoccidentalis@Pak.

Karak being an arid area does not have a river hence the fish fauna is only present in the small rain filled dams like, Changhoz dam, Sharki dam, Zebi dam, Sarki lawagher dam and a natural water body Dhand Eidal Khel etc. A total of (21) fish species were collected from a total catch of (1794) belonging to 4 different orders 4 families and 14 genera. Family Cyprinidae was seemed to be the richest one and represented by 16 species viz, Cyprinus carpio, Labeo rohita, Labeo calbaso, Carassius auratus, Catla catla, Cirrhinus mrigala, Ctenopharyngodn idella, Puntius ticto, P sophore, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Barilius vagra, Barilius pakistanicus, Crossocheilus latius. Crossocheilus diplocheilus, Cyprinion watsoni and Aspidoparia morar, another notable family was Channidae represented by 3 species viz, Channa punctatus, Channa straitus, Channa gachua, family Siluridae and Mastacembelidae is represented by single species Ompok pabda and Mastacembelus armatus respectively. Fishes found in this region is of great economic importance and people of the area get maximum benefits as much as possible.<#LINE#>Berra TM.@Freshwater fish distribution@San Diego, CA:Academic Press, (2001)@Yes$Ashok K.@Studies on Ichthyofaunal Diversity withspecial reference to monthly and seasonal variations offish landings in glacial fed mountainous Goriganga riverof Kumaun Himalaya@Uttarakhand, India, Res.
