Hi Dipak,
Here is the definition from FishBase: A Global Information System on
Fishes (http://www.fishbase.org/home.htm):
"Liquefied fish or fish waste produced as a result of self-digestion after
the addition of acid, or as a result of fermentation of the waste mixed
with molasses and yeast. The liquid silage can be concentrated to bring
the water content down from about 80% to 50%. Used for animal feeding,
usually in areas close to the point of manufacture." Source:

The Torry Advisory Note No. 64, "Fish Silage", gives you the manufacturing
information that you are looking for (see table of contents below):
- Introduction
- What is fish silage?
- How is fish silage made?
- What acids can be used?
- The composition of fish silage
- How long does fish silage keep?
- How is fish silage used?
- The pros and cons of making silage
- Where might silage be the answer?
