In addition, they are found in ganoid fish scales (in alligator gar and Senegal bichir), turtle shells, as well as in armadillo and alligator osteoderms (Currey 2010). In minute quantities CaPO 4 exist in the brain (brain sand), without significantly affecting its function (Bocchi and Valdre 1993).…”

“…The fish inhabits the Amazon River Basin in South America (Torres et al, 2008;Currey, 2010). This fish is economically and ecologically important for riverine population, because of its high commercial and nutritional value (Castello, 2008;Castello et al, 2011).…”

Identifying potential patterns in pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) composition, as a function of the different fish muscle zones (dorse, venter, ventrecha and tail), was the main objective of this research. For such, the different pirarucu muscle zones were evaluated, in order to obtain proximate composition and minerals content. It was also determined amino acids and fatty acids contents in fish muscle. The dorsal, ventral and tail muscle zones presented similar moisture (76.5-78.2%), protein (17.8-18.9%), total lipids (1.0-1.5%) and ash (0.9-1.2%) contents. On the other hand, the ventrecha zone presented 25.8% of protein and the major total lipids content (17.1%). The main minerals found in fish muscle were K (183.5-288.6 mg/100 g muscle) and Na (65.1-175.5 mg/100 g). Glutamic acid (3027.6 mg/100 g muscle) was the main amino acid found in fish muscle, which presented 48% of essential amino acids in the protein fraction. Lipids content showed 57.3% of unsaturated fatty acids and 42.7% of saturated fatty acids.

“…Conversely, the chemistry of fish bone as it relates to archeology has not been examined in detail. More generally, the physical and chemical properties of fish bone have received less attention than their mammalian counterparts (Currey, 2010). This is particularly problematic because it limits our understanding of post-depositional processes affecting zooarchaeological or paleontological assemblages (cf.…”
