“…Crude fat content was significantly higher in large size fish and fat content in all the three size groups were lower as compared to other catfishes such as Heteropneustes fossilis (3.45%), C. batrachus (7.90%), M. vittatus (7.53 %) and L. rohita (4.33%) (Ramani et al, 2002). However, ash content in different size groups of R. rita was similar to that of other members of the Bagridae family, S. aor (1.78%) (Kamal et al, 2007;Memon et al, 2010) and S. seenghala (1.40%) (Mohanty et al, 2012).…”

“…Protein content of medium size (19.55%) group was comparatively higher than other size groups and Indian major carps (IMCs), Labeo rohita (12.84%) (Ahmed, 2011) and similar to Cirrhinus mrigala (19.10%) and Catla catla (19.60%) (Gopakumar, 1997). Average protein content of R. rita (18.12%) was higher than that of many other catfishes like Mystus vittatus (15.62%), Clarias batrachus (14.78%), Wallago attu (17.00%) and is similar to bagridae catfish Sperata aor (19.05%) (Kamal et al, 2007;Memon et al, 2010) and Sperata seenghala (20.06%) (Mohanty et al, 2012). Crude fat content was significantly higher in large size fish and fat content in all the three size groups were lower as compared to other catfishes such as Heteropneustes fossilis (3.45%), C. batrachus (7.90%), M. vittatus (7.53 %) and L. rohita (4.33%) (Ramani et al, 2002).…”

“…Among SFA, palmitic acid (C16:0) was found to be the dominant (11.02%) as in other catfishes like the channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus (19.2%), Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (42.63%) (Ho and Paul 2009), S. seenghala (21.10%) (Mohanty et al, 2012) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (21.3%) (Ho and Paul, 2009). Oleic acid (C18:1) was found to be the major MUFAs; however, it was found to be lower in R. rita as compared to other catfishes like S. seenghala (28.36%) (Mohanty et al, 2012) and P. hypophthalmus (34.69%) (Ho and Paul, 2009).…”

“…Amino acid composition was determined following standard protocol (Ishida et al, 1981) and has been described earlier (Mohanty et al, 2012). Briefly, 50 mg muscle samples of individual fishes from small, medium and large size category were hydrolysed with 6N hydrochloric acid at 110°C under anaerobic condition for 12 h. The hydrolysed samples were neutralised with 6N NaOH and were derivatised using a kit (AccQ-Fluor Reagent, WAT052880, Waters).…”

The freshwater catfish Rita rita (Hamilton, 1822) (Family: Bagridae) inhabits the tropical rivers and estuaries and contributes to the capture fisheries production in the Indian subcontinent. It enjoys high consumer preference as a valuable food fish due to its muscle texture, good taste and lesser intramuscular spines; however, basic nutritional information on the species is not available. In the present study, we report the proximate composition, amino acid, fatty acid and mineral composition of different size groups of R. rita. Proximate analysis showed that the fish is rich in protein and low in fat. The protein content (19.55%) was found to be the highest in medium size fishes. Leucine, phenylalanine and glutamic acid are the predominant amino acids in all size groups and leucine (18.67 g 100 g -1 protein) and glutamic acid (10.55 g 100 g -1 protein) contents were significantly high in medium size fishes. The macro-minerals potassium (13800 ppm) and phosphorous (14100 ppm) were significantly high in the medium size group, whereas calcium (1900 ppm) was highest in large size group. The micro-minerals iron and zinc were present in significantly higher amount in the medium size fishes. R. rita is important as a rich source of protein, essential amino acids (leucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid) and micro elements (Zn, Fe). Comparative nutritional evaluation of different size groups showed that the medium size fish (weighing 500-800 g) were nutritionally superior to the other groups.

“…Its adults and juveniles are bottom and marginal dwellers; fry are used to inhabit the shallow marginal area of river and marginal pits connecting the river; larvae live in the nests formed among rocks and soft muddy beds of rivers [8]. It has been considered as one of the most admired edible fishes due to its good taste and low number of intramuscular bones [10,12,13], it has high nutritional value with good protein content [14][15][16]; each gram of its flesh contains 200 unit of vitamin A [17]. It is a popular species of catfish to capture because it fetches a higher price than carp [7].…”
