Abstrakt: Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) and Ribbon fish (Trichiurus lepturus) are two important semi pelagic carnivore fishing resources in Namkhana fish landing center, West Bengal. During assessing monthly profile of textural parameters, chemical composition and microbial quality of fresh Indian mackerel and Ribbon fish landed at Namkhana landing center, the hardness figures revealed significant (p<0.05) variations with the lowest value in month of July (1208.94±118.69g and 843.60±123.32g) and highest value in the month of January (2552.03±16.75g and 3000.01±522.21g) respectively. There was significant (p<0.05) variation in both gumminess and chewiness values over the sampling months for both, whereas, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness and resilience showed insignificant (p>0.05) variation. For both the species, there is a significant variation (p<0.05) in the protein and lipid content during the sampling months. The variations in both PV and TMA were found to be significant (p<0.05) for both the species within the months and recorded biochemical and microbiological values were well within the limit of acceptability suggesting to be fit for consumption, the preservation conditions of the catch during warmer months needs to be improved and necessary precautions are to be taken to retain the nutritional quality and prevent spoilage.
