Nutritional Analysis of the firmed fish species named Pangas (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), Mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus), Carfu (Cyprinus carpio ) from cultured ponds, wholesale markets and local retail markets were studied in order to evaluate their percentage of moisture, protein, fat, ash. The study focused on the proximate composition and the mean value of moisture was 72.86% in Pangas, 75.16% in Mrigal, 73.23% in Carfu. In case of ash the average value was 1.75% in Pangas, 2.25% in Mrigal, 2.23% in Carfu. The mean value of fat content was 8.17% in Pangas, 3.56% in Mrigal and 7.11% in Carfu. It was observed that the average value of protein were 15.30% in Pangas, 20.89% in Mrigal and 18.10% in Carfu. Each of these three fishes was collected from 9 different sources. We collected these species from Cultured ponds, Wholesale Markets and Local Retail Markets. Highest amount of moisture content was 79.57% in Pangas (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), Ash and Fat variation was highest in Pangas (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) fishes, Protein variation was highest in Mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus).

“…An example is a transgenic carp (Cyprinus carpio) containing a growth hormone transgene from a rainbow trout. Chemical analysis showed that compared with control animals, the content of crude fat was significantly lower in the body of the transgenic carp, while the profile of fatty acids in lipids of muscle tissue remained unaltered (Chatakondi et al, 1995;Dunham et al, 2002). The trend towards reductions in the level of fat in the meat was also confirmed in the case of an Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) created by the introduction of a growth hormone transgene (Cook et al, 2000).…”

The health-promoting properties of dietary long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFAs) for humans are well-known. Products of animal-origin enriched with n-3 LCPUFAs can be a good example of functional food, that is food that besides traditionally understood nutritional value may have a beneficial influence on the metabolism and health of consumers, thus reducing the risk of various lifestyle diseases such as atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. The traditional method of enriching meat, milk or eggs with n-3 LCPUFA is the manipulation of the composition of animal diets. Huge progress in the development of genetic engineering techniques, for example transgenesis, has enabled the generation of many kinds of genetically modified animals. In recent years, one of the aims of animal transgenesis has been the modification of the lipid composition of meat and milk in order to improve the dietetic value of animal-origin products. This article reviews and discusses the data in the literature concerning studies where techniques of genetic engineering were used to create animal-origin products modified to contain health-promoting lipids. These studies are still at the laboratory stage, but their results have demonstrated that the transgenesis of pigs, cows, goats and fishes can be used in the future as efficient methods of production of healthy animal-origin food of high dietetic value. However, due to high costs and a low level of public acceptance, the introduction of this technology to commercial animal production and markets seems to be a distant prospect.

“…Similar results were obtained for F 2 hGH-transgenic carp by Cui et al (1996b) who showed further that the transgenic carp had a lower proportion of food energy lost in nitrogenous excretion than did the controls. Chatakondi et al (1995) also reported that rainbow trout GH transgenic carp had a higher body protein and lower body lipid content than did the controls. Administration of exogenous growth hormone has been reported to increase body protein content of bGH-treated coho salmon (Higgs et al, 1975) and bGH-treated rainbow trout (Weatherley & Gill, 1983b), and decrease body lipid content of bGH-treated coho salmon (Higgs et al, 1975) and bGH-treated rainbow trout (Weatherley & Gill, 1983a, b).…”

“…Information on the effects of transgenesis in fish is limited largely to the increases in growth rate and body size. Chatakondi et al (1995) reported the body composition of pRSVrtGH-transgenic common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. Reports on the energy utilization of transgenic fish is limited to one preliminary study (Cui et al, 1996b), in which a comparison was made on growth and energy budget between the F 2 generation of hGH-transgenic carp and the nontransgenic controls fed live tubificid worms in a 3-week experiment.…”

The F 4 generation of human growth hormone (hGH) transgenic red common carp Cyprinus carpio had significantly higher growth rates than the non-transgenic controls. Protein and energy intakes were significantly higher in the transgenic carp than in the controls fed the 20% protein diet, but were not different between the two strains fed diets with 30 and 40% protein.Faecal protein loss, as a proportion of protein intake, was significantly lower in the transgenics than in the controls fed diets with 20 and 30% protein, but was not different between the two strains fed diet with 40% protein. Faecal energy loss, as a proportion of energy intake, was significantly lower in the transgenics than in the controls fed diet with 20% protein, but was not different between the two strains fed diets with 30 and 40% protein. Recovered protein, as a proportion of protein intake, was significantly higher in the transgenics than in the controls fed all diets, whereas recovered energy was significantly higher in the transgenic fish fed the 40% protein diet. For fish fed each diet, the transgenics had significantly higher body contents of dry matter and protein, but lower contents of lipid than the controls. It was concluded that transgenics were more efficient in utilizing dietary protein than the controls. At a lower dietary protein level, transgenics achieved higher growth rates mainly by increasing feed intake; at higher levels of dietary protein, transgenics achieved higher growth rates mainly through a higher energy conversion efficiency. 1998 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
