Paper Received On: 25 DECEMBER 2022 Peer Reviewed On: 31 DECEMBER 2022 Published On: 01 JANUARY 2023 Abstract Microorganism bioremediation of seafood processing plant wastewater is a viable alternative to the traditional effluent treatment technique of recovery and removal. Five seafood processing plants in and around Veraval were sampled for waste water. This water was transported to lab in controlled condition and were analysed for eutrophic component present and BOD, COD value evaluation. Soil samples from the same places were collected for bacterial isolation. From them over 40 bacterial strains were collected from five different seafood processing industry soil samples near Veraval.

Introduction: The world population is expected to continue to grow, which means that the demand for food, water, and energy is expected to climb significantly. The availability of fresh water is critical to the sustainability and safety of food. The utilization of fresh water in current food production systems is a major issue, as is the environmental impact of the sector. Global fresh water withdrawals, which include agriculture and livestock production, are estimated to account for approximately 60% of the world's water use. In the next 30 years, freshwater consumption for food and livestock production is expected to rise by 65 percent. Wastewater from the processing of food contains a wide range of nutrients and other important components. Wastewater discharged carelessly and without treatment is a leading cause of pollution and other harmful effects on the environment. More than half of the biodegradable organic matter in one-third of the food produced worldwide (1.3 billion tons) is lost or abandoned, according to a recent estimate [2]. Proper treatment of wastes, including effluents, is one way to combat pollution while simultaneously preventing the loss of food
