“…Some information are available on nutrient composition of Indian major carp (Paul et al, 2015a, and, catfish (Paul et al, 2015), air breathing fish (Paul et al, 2017), minor carps (Paul et al, 2018) and Freshwater fish (Paul et al, 2019). Keeping in view of importance of eating fish, the nutrient profile of four freshwater fish (M. vittatus, C. striata, W. attu and P. hypophthalmus) and one freshwater catfish (O. bimaculatus) were studied to document on protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids which will be helpful to dieticians, nutritionists, researchers, fish farmers and related stakeholders to promote fish as health food in human nutrition.…”

The nutrient profile of five freshwater fish species viz., Mystus vittatus, Ompok bimaculatus, Channa striata, Wallago attu and Pangasianodon hypophthalmus were studied. The proximate composition data shows that the moisture and fat content differed significantly (P<0.01) among the fish species. The fat content was significantly higher in P. hypophthalmus and M. vittatus. The moisture was significantly higher in C. striata. The potassium content was significantly (p<0.01) higher in C.striata. M.vittatus shows higher content of calcium. The other trace minerals like iron, copper and zinc contents of fish did not differ significantly among the species. The vitamin A content is maximum in O.bimaculatus whereas vitamin D content is higher in Mystus vittatus. The palmitic acid was significantly (p<0.01) higher in M. vittatus. The oleic acid was significantly (p<0.01) higher in C. striata and W. attu. The linoleic acid content was significantly (p<0.05) higher in P. hypophthalmus. One of the important PUFA i.e. DHA was significantly higher in O. bimaculatus and C.striata. The PUFA content was significantly (p<0.05) higher in O.bimaculatus and P.hypophthalmus. Among the amino acids, arginine, histidine, threonine and isoleucine were higher in P.hypophthalmus. C.striata and W. attu contain high amount of Tryptophan. Glutamic acid was high in O.bimaculatus and Aspartic acid was high in C. striata. The energy content was maximum in P. hypophthalmus. The nutrient profile of these fish species revealed that they were rich in all the essential nutrients required by human being. The information on nutrient profile of fish will give a guideline to dieticians, nutritionists, medical practitioners, researchers to advice consumers to take fish in their daily diet as a health food.

“…Although some scientific reports illustrate the production of SCP using fungi and its use in aqua feeds (Alriksson et al, 2014), according to the best of existing knowledge, this is the first report on the bioconversion of whey to SCP and its use in aqua feeds. In the present study, C. reba fingerlings have been chosen as suitable species for aquaculture because they are widely accepted by fish farmers and consumers in SAARC countries (Paul et al, 2018) because of their comparatively fast growth, nutritional value and taste, acceptance to formulated feed and compatible to freshwater aquaculture environment. Though very little information was available on the nutritional profile of Lebeo bata and C. reba (Paul et al, 2018), there is hardly any literature available on the feeds and feeding experiment of C. reba fingerlings.…”

Aquaculture is now becoming a fast-growing industry in order to meet the increasing demand (Alriksson et al., 2014) for formulating and processing suitable and sustainable aqua feeds. Fish meal is extensively used in aquaculture. Because of the scarce availability of high quality fish meal, increase in fish meal price, and a huge gap in its demand, and supply, there is a need to find an alternative, locally available protein source to replace fish meal partially or completely to bring down the cost of the fish feed (Karimi et al., 2018). Additionally, the use of fish meal in feed formulations of minor carp is restricted for sustainable health benefits of these farmed fish (AQUAMAX Project 2006Naylor et al., 2000), and thus, the feed formulations are based on vegetable protein sources (Paul et al., 2017). Rice bran oil cake is the most widely used aqua feed in India, which is not a high quality fish feed based on nutrition. Thus, the supply of high quality fish feed becomes one of the major barriers in aqua culture industry which tends to increase the production price of aqua feed. Searching for an inexpensive alternative protein source to fish meals with efficient growth performance and nutrient utilization properties has gained much attention in recent years. An interesting alternative is SCP (Tlusty et al., 2017) that consists of mainly yeast, algae, bacteria or fungi. SCPs are rich in essential nutrients like desirable protein content with a good blend of amino acids, minerals, vitamins and fatty acids. Thus with excellent nutritive value and capacity to be mass produced SCP has proved to be very promising in the evolution of aqua diets.
