Nutritional Evaluation of Commercially Important Fish Species of Lakshadweep Archipelago, India

Abstract: Estimation of nutrition profile of edible fishes is essential and thus a bio-monitoring study was carried out to find out the nutritional composition of commonly available fishes in Agatti Island water of Lakshadweep Sea. Protein, carbohydrate, lipid, ash, vitamin, amino acid and fatty acid composition in the muscle of ten edible fish species were studied. Proximate analysis revealed that the protein, carbohydrate, lipid and ash contents were high in Thunnus albacares (13.69%), Parupeneus bifasciatus (6.12%), … Show more

“…Marine fishes had higher levels of PUFAs compared to freshwater fish. The differences of fatty acids content in marine and freshwater fish were influenced by its species and their natural diet (Dhaneesh et al 2012). Fatty acids content of fishes were based on their feed and affected by its size, age, reproductive and environmental conditions, especially the temperature of water which could influence the lipid content and fatty acid composition.…”

“…The advantage of marine fish as dietary sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA), especially the omega-3 PUFA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosa-hexaenoic acid (DHA). The nutritional benefits of fish consumption containing omega-3 PUFA have been published well in the world (Dhaneesh et al 2012). Omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA have the ability to reduce the blood serum triglycerides.…”

“…The reason for this might be the extensive anthropogenic activities near this site (site 3). The ratio of proteins, lipids, and moisture in the fish tissue often decides its taste and food value (Dhaneesh and Noushad 2012;www.fao.org/docrep/s4314e/s4314 e04.htm). This equilibrium is not identical in all the fishes hence they have different tastes.…”

“…Fish and fish products are important source of animal protein, highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), minerals and vitamin. Marine fish oil is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (Huynh et al, 2007;Dhaneesh et al, 2012;Belton et al, 2014). In Bangladesh, about 60% of the total animal protein intake is obtained from fishery products (Bogarda et al, 2015;Eizenberga et al, 2015).…”
