The effects of gamma irradiation on changes of chemical compounds of fermented shromp with low salt were studied. The shirmp was salted NaCl concentration of 10%, 15% and 20%, and irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0kGy. Amino nitrogen (AN), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), trimethylamine (TMA) and neutral protease acivity were examined during ferentation at 15$^{circ}C$. A sample with 30% salt concontration was also prepared as a control. The initial contents of AAN, VBN, TMA and protease acitivity were not affected by gamma irradiation. The contents of AN, VBN and TMA were incteased with fermentation period. But, the more increased NaCl concentrations and the higher irradiation dose, the loss increased content of chemical compounds and protease activity were found. Protease was increased until 4~5 weeks and then decreased gradually. The results showed that the chemical compounds and protease activity of salted abd fermeted shrimp prepared with 15% NaCl contentration and 10 kGy irradiation dose, or 20% and 5 kGy or higher were maintained the appropriate level of quality up to 10 weeks of storage compared with the control.
