Fish food forms an important component of nutritional diet of many Indians. Indian fisheries is contributing significantly to the economy of the country occupying of the GDP. In spite of its importance and support to more than 14 million people directly or indirectly the industry is lacking good indigenous machinery for post harvest operations. People are using age old practices for descaling cleaning and other operations. Present PhD work has been taken up to develop a semi-continuous descaling machine indigenously to cater to the inland fish processing. The machine has been developed at College of Agricultural Engineering Kandi Sangareddy Telangana State. The machine istrial tested for its capacity and efficiency of descaling using different speeds of operation for Rohu fish. Introduction India occupies the third position in fisheries and second position in aquaculture in the world. Total fish production in India was million tonnes mt and the country exported mt fish and fish products with a value of over 45 000 crore in 2017-18. Inland fisheries is contributing around
