Abstract

This is aimed at studying the aeration kinetics of catfish (Clarias gariepinus) smoked directly with biogas. Five live fresh fishes (Clarias gariepinus) were obtained from Fishery and Aquaculture Technology Department in FUTA, Ondo State, Nigeria at the age of 4 months with average weight of 900g each. The fishes were killed, de-gutted, thoroughly washed with water, cut into pieces of 3cm length. The chunks were laid in a single layer on a mesh directly exposed to biogas flame obtained from bio-decomposition of poultry waste and the weight was being monitored at 15 minutes interval until constant weight was observed. The study showed that the time taken for drying of Clarias gariepinus to reach the humidity point of around 12.43% (db.) was two and a half hours. The drying data was subjected to 10 thin-layer drying models. The compared the performances of the models using the determination of coefficient (R2), reduced chi­square (x2) and root mean square error (RMSE) between the calculated and predicted moisture ratios. The results showed that Henderson and Pabis modified model (highest R2 and lowest x2 and RMSE of 0.998, 0.00021 and 0.01386 respectively) was found to satisfactorily describe the biogas drying curves of Clarias gariepinus.
