Biochemical composition of Predatory carp (Chanodichthys erythropterus) from Lake Dianshan, Shanghai, China

Abstract

Information related to the chemical composition of fish species is very much necessary to ensure that they meet requirements of man's diet. This study is focused on providing nutrient contents information of the wild east Asian native species Predatory carp (Chanodichthys erythropterus). The specimens were collected from Lake Dianshan, Shanghai-China. The body muscles of randomly selected fish species were dried at 105°C in an oven and used for biochemical analysis. Protein, carbohydrate, ash, and moisture contents found in the experimental fish and their proportions were 48.7%, 14.1%, 5.1%, and 9.4%, respectively. Methionine is the major essential acid determined whiles Alanine was also the abundant for nonessential amino acids although ten of the most essentials were present. Stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid had the highest proportion while oleic acid was the main monounsaturated fatty acid. Alpha-linolenic acid was the dominant polyunsaturated fatty acid determined. The ratio of n3/n6 fatty acids was 2.82 showing that this species meat is optimal for nutritional purpose. The results of this study showed Chanodichthys erythropterus muscle is a valuable food with high quality protein and well balanced amino acids for promoting good health, prevention and healing of diseases in the human body.

“…Due to its delicious and delicate flesh, the C. erythropterus is so popular with consumers in the market and has a high commercial value 5 . Over the last decade, interest in the aquaculture of C. erythropterus has increased to meet market demand as wild stock is under threat due to overfishing and water pollution.…”

Reduction of Losses and Wastage in Seafoods: The Role of Smart Tools and Biosensors Based on Artificial Intelligence

“…Seafoods are valuable protein source, especially in the case where other animal protein sources are expensive and scarce. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are known to influence prostaglandin synthesis and therefore promote wound healing, are among the necessary fatty acids found in seafoods (Kryzhanovskii and Vititnova, 2009;Zhang et al, 2010;Kindong et al, 2017). The demand for marine products (seafoods) is expanding substantially (Power at al., 2023).…”

Fry Survival Rate as a Predictive Marker of Optimal Production of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Valenciennes 1844): A Biostatistical Study in Deroua Fish Farm, Morocco

“…Also, the amino acids are higher in farmed silver carp, which can be due to the cultivated species' diet. Kindong et al (2017) report that silver carp tissues contain nine indispensable essential amino acids beneficial for human health (Threonine, Iso-Leucine, Tryptophan, Lysine, Phenylalanine, Valine, Histidine, Methionine, and Leucine).…”

“…Besides, silver carp meat and eggs present an important source of essential fatty acids for human nutrition containing high proportions of palmitic acid, oleic acid, alphalinolenic, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) (Kindong et al 2017;Majdoubi et al 2020). Consequently, silver carp offers a potential source of the n-3 fatty acids necessary for human health, early development, and the prevention of some diseases (Taşbozan and Gökçe 2017).…”
