Nutritive Composition of Some Edible Fin Fishes

Changes of Biochemical Composition in the Muscle Tissues of Lutjanus Johnii (Bloch, 1792) and Lutjanus Russelli (Bleeker, 1849) From Gopalpur Coast, East Coast of India.

“…Similar result has been reported in juveniles of P. monodon, [38]. [39] Observed comparatively lower moisture values of 69.54 to 74.46% in P. vigil. In the present study L. johnii and L. russelli showed lowest moisture content being 67.09±1.8763% and 63.21±1.8879% which is partially in agreement with the result of [38].…”

Biochemical Composition of Indian Common Small Pelagic Fishes Indicates Richness in Nutrients Capable of Ameliorating Malnutrition and Age-Associated Disorders

“…The moisture content of the sardine, mackerel and anchovy ranged between 70.21-77.56%. Similar results were found in the studies by Nisa and Asadullah [11]; Ravichandran et al [12]. The levels of protein content in all the three species calculated were of 21.29 ± 0.76%, 16.75 ± 0.55% and 16.95 ± 0.27% respectively.…”

“…Shaji and Kannan [13] reported the protein content in sardine was 23.63% and Nisa and Asadullah [11] reported crude protein in mackerel varied from 16.65% to 20.09%, highest in June and lowest in December [11]. Ravichandran et al [12], also reported that protein content in sardine and mackerel ranged between 17.04 -28.01% [12]. Lakshmanan et al, [14] reported protein content in anchovy was 18.5%.…”

Nutritional qualities and trace metals concentration of six fish species from Oba reservoir, Ogbomoso, Nigeria

“…The chemical composition of fish varies from one individual to another depending on age, sex, environment and season with protein level ranging from 16 to 21%, lipid from 0.1 to 25 %, ash 0.4 to 1.5%, moisture content of 60 to 80 % with extreme of 96% having been reported (Muraleedharan et al, 1996). Also, moisture content range of 65.88 to 78.62 (Mazumder et al, 2008), 77.93 to 82.7% (Ravichandran et al, 2011) and 68.6 to 77.1% (Aberoumand and Pourshafi, 2010) were reported for fishes. The values we obtained for the proximate composition where within the the reported ranges with higher percentage in the case of fibre.…”
