“…Phosphorus and potassium were present in large quantities and were the most abundant minerals in all portions of yellowtail. This pattern appears to be a general trend in almost all fish (marine and freshwater) (El‐Faer, Rawdah, Attar & Arab ; DTU ). Eight of the 11 minerals varied considerably between the six portions whilst three (calcium, manganese and boron) had homogenous concentrations throughout the fish.…”

Assessment and comparison of proximate, fatty acid and mineral composition of six edible portions of South African cultured yellowtail (Seriola lalandi)

A whole fillet (A) and five distinct anatomical portions within a fillet (B-F) of South African farmed yellowtail were assessed for proximate, fatty acid and mineral composition. Within the whole fillet, moisture, protein, fat and ash accounted for 71%, 21%, 5% and 1% of the proximate composition respectively. Considerable inter-muscular variation in nutritional composition was observed, however, the dorsal section (portions B and D) was most representative of the proximate, fatty acid and mineral composition of the whole yellowtail fillet and may be used in future studies. High variability in mineral and essential fatty acid content was observed and no one portion could be considered to contain a superior nutrient complex. South African farmed yellowtail can be considered a semi-oily fish (5.3% fat) with relatively high levels of PUFA detected (PUFA > SFA > MUFA) primarily located in the dorsal and caudal sections. This study provided important information regarding the nutritional composition of South African reared yellowtail as well as recommendations regarding the sub-sampling of specific portions for future nutrient composition studies.

“…Levels of nine nutrient minerals and proximate components of fresh edible portions of some commercially important finfish and shellfish in Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia, were examined [2]. This study reported that all the fish investigated were fairly high in protein (18% -22%), while the lipid content was less than 3%.…”

In spite of the established nutritive value of seafood, fishes have a special ability to store some toxic substances such as heavy metals because of its own respiration system. The goal of current study was to explore the proximate chemical composition, minerals content and levels of heavy metals in edible portions of some important commercial fish species available at Makkah Central Fish Market, Saudi Arabia. The obtained results showed that Indian oil sardine fish had the highest value of crude oil (dry weight) recorded 38.00%, while, rusty parrot fish sample had the least of 1.17%. In contrast, rusty parrot fish had the highest value of crude protein represented 90.75% (dry weight), meanwhile, Indian oil sardine had the least of 54.19%. Consuming about 250 g of Indian oil sardine will cover 100% of Fe RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances), eating 500 g of the same fish will cover about 30% of Ca RDA. While, 500 g of gilt head bream which has the highest content of K, Na and Mg will cover about 11.7%, 1.5% and 4.1% of these minerals RDA, respectively. As physical hazards, fourteen samples from the thirty three studied samples exceeded the permissible limit of Pb and Cd representing about 42%. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to eat head, gills or viscera of all fishes.

“…The effect of fish species on the variation of the global chemical composition is largely documented in the literature (El-Faer et al , 1991; Karahadian et al , 1995; Güner et al , 1998). Synnes et al (2006) studied the chemical composition of five deep-sea fish species.…”

The aim of this work is to study the variation of the global chemical composition of six fish species (Lithognathus mormyrus, Mullus barbatus, Mullus surmuletus, Pagellus erythrinus, Pagrus caeruleostictus and Dentex maroccanus) caught by the trawl of the Gulf of Gabès (Mediterranean Sea). The variations of the chemical contents of the fish as a function of size, sex, organs and parts of the muscle were examined between December 2005 and May 2006. ANOVA indicated that the global chemical composition was significantly affected by two factors: species and body locations (parts of the muscle). The correlation matrix established between the chemical contents showed two highly significant correlations (fat–moisture and protein–ash). The discriminant analysis allowed the distribution in the space of fish species into five groups according to their moisture, proteins, fat and ash contents. The analysis of the fat content in the parts of the fish body revealed the presence of a concentration gradient.
