Abstract:Proximate composition (moisture, protein, fat, ash, fiber) and some minerals (iodine, zinc, and iron, copper) content in the flesh of two fish species, Tetradon fahaka and Synodotis schell were investigated. Statistical analysis using ANOVA showed significant differences in the values of the moisture and fat in the two fishes studied (P<0.05). In terms of percentages, moisture content was highest in Synodotis schell (72.1±0.3 %) and lowest in Tetradon fahaka (70.6±0.7 %). Fat content was found to be highest in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
