In the present investigation, the effect of preservation methods / media on degradation of fish proteins has been tested by taking Cyprinus carpio as a model. The average relative concentration of polypeptides obtained after densitometric scanning showed that storage in salt-mixed ice is the best preservation method for fish proteins. The addition of salt to ice depresses the freezing point of water and the preserved fish gets cooled to a lower temperature. Enzymatic activity as a cause of spoilage is restricted during ice preservation methods. Salt preserved fishes reported loss of activity of several proteins and decline in intensity of existing bands. This preliminary test can be very useful in determining the comparative value of different methods employed for fish preservation.
