Impact of species and their edible parts on the macronutrient and mineral composition of fish from the same aquatic environment, the Gilgel Gibe Reservoir, Ethiopia

“…Therefore, the benthic diet of Garra is the likely explanation for the higher accumulation of minerals. The distinct differences in micromineral accretion are in agreement with our observation in a study with ornamental fish kept in similar conditions (Negisho et al, 2020).…”

“…In fact, due to increasing population numbers and economic growth, the total demand for fish in Ethiopia is growing. As a result, wild fisheries are over-exploited, specific commercially known fish resources reached their natural limits, and thus led to the decline in stocks of fish of targeted species (Asaminew, 2012;NADSE, 2009). However, the demand for fish consumption is increasing only on the specific tissues (fillet) and a limited number of species (Nile tilapia, African catfish and Nile perch) are frequently consumed.…”

Detailed whole‐body nutrient analysis identifies differences in feeding ecology between related fish species: The case of Orestias native Andean killifish in Lake Titicaca

“…The metabolic functions of minerals are diverse, meaning that their body concentrations can point to particular physiological traits. Bayissa et al (2019) found large differences in micromineral concentrations among fish species, even when kept under identical conditions, showing the divergence in evolutionary adaptations to their original habitats.…”
