“…Sodium is good for muscle functioning (Alas et al, 2014) and its concentration ranged between 86 to 145 mg/100 g, which falls within FAO mean ranges of 30-134 mg/100 g. It is also comparable to studies by Martinez-Valverde et al (2000) in Spain and Tao et al (2012) in farmed fish in China. However the results are at the lower end compared to some studies carried out in freshwater fishes of four other countries shown in Table 4; Bangladesh (381 mg/100 g), USA (36-400 mg/100 g), Sudan (180-280 mg/100 g) and Poland (148-328 mg/100 g).…”

Developing countries remain overwhelmed by nutritional problems caused mainly by poverty, natural disasters and political instabilities. The aim of this study was to determine essential mineral content of some common fish species in the Okavango Delta, Botswana and assess their potential in enhancing mineral intake. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry was used for determination of Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn; flame photometry for Na and K; UV-VIS Spectrometry for P. Marcusenius altisambesi, Schilbe intermedius, Brycinus lateralis, Oreochromis andersonii, Barbus poechii. Only edible flesh was analysed for large fish (>130mm) while small fish (<130mm) were analysed whole. Single factor ANOVA analyses show that all minerals analysed except copper varied significantly between species, (p≤0.05) and the small species, Barbus poechii has the highest mineral content. The concentration ranges of minerals were within FAO mean concentration ranges for fish and comparable to values obtained from other previous studies. The results show that fishes of Chanoga have a good supply of minerals and can be used for enhancing mineral intake and protecting the community from mineral deficiency diseases.

“…No statistically significant difference was seen between water contents of male and female pufferfish in any seasons (P>0.05). Aydın et al (2013) reported Tao et al (2012), and between 79.1-80.6% for Takifugu rubripes by Hwang, Chen, Shiau, & Jeng (2000). These water content matches with the results in present study.…”

“…The relationship between the amounts of macro elements in L. sceleratus over four seasons was determined to be K>P>Na>Mg>Ca for both sexes (Table 4). The order of macro element levels for three pufferfish species (Fugu obscurus, Fugu flavidus and Fugu rupribes) were reported similarly in a study by Tao et al (2012) as well. In male individuals, the highest macro element levels were found in autumn, while the highest macro element levels of females were found in summer.…”

“…Ghosh, Hazra, Banerjee, and Mukherjee (2005) reported the lipid level of L. lunaris was 0.93%. Tao, Wang, Gong, and Liu (2012) studied the proximate composition of aquaculture grown individuals from three pufferfish species (Fugu obscurus, Fugu flavidus and Fugu rupribes) bred in China; the lipid level in 100 g muscle tissue was reported to be within the range of 0.73-0.83. Koizumi and Hiratsuka (2009) reported lipid levels of individuals belonging to the Takifugu rubripesspecies caught in Japanese waters as 1.01%, 0.87% and 0.92% for winter, summer and autumn respectively.…”

“…TMS levels measured by Aydın et al (2013) in fish caught in Antalya Bay year round are similar to the results acquired in this study. Tao et al (2012), studying the TMS levels in different pufferfish species, found that the TMS levels of three different Fugu species were in the range of 1.47-1.54%. Eswar et al (2014) reported the TMS level of pufferfish belonging to the species Lagocephalus inermis as 1.27%.…”

In this study, it was aimed to determine the chemical composition of the pufferfish (Lagocephalus sceleratus) caught from Mersin Bay in the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea. For this purpose, the proximate composition, fatty acid profile, mineral and heavy metal levels were investigated. Pufferfish samples were caught using trawl fishing technique over four seasons between December 2012 and October 2013. As a result of the study, the average protein, lipid, water and total mineral substance (TMS) levels for female individuals were determined to be 20.44%, 0.65%, 76.98% and 1.43% respectively; while for male individuals these were determined to be 20.58%, 0.84%, 76.68% and 1.40%. In the fatty acid composition of L. sceleratus; total saturated fatty acids (SFA) level was determined to be between 24.78% and 29.75%, total monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) level was 15.41% to 23.20%, total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) level was 39.90% to 45.70%. Macro, trace element and toxic heavy metal levels in pufferfish muscle tissue were determined using ICP-MS. The relationship between the amounts of macro and trace elements in L. sceleratus was determined to be K>P>Na>Mg>Ca and Zn>Se>Cu>Ni>Mo>Co for both sexes. In the muscle tissues of pufferfish, Cd levels were found to be over limit levels.
