Seasonal Variation in the Chemical Composition of Body Flesh of Koi Fish <i>Anabas testudineus</i> (Bloch) (Anabantidae: Perciformes)

Abstract: Protein, carbohydrate, fat, ash and moisture contents in the body muscle of Anabas testudineus (Bloch) were investigated. The compositions varied seasonally in relation to reproductive cycle of the fish. Significant correlation existed between moisture and carbohydrate, moisture and fat, moisture and protein, moisture and ash, protein and ash, fat and carbohydrate, fat and ash, protein and carbohydrate. The protein content found to be higher in medium sized fishes and gradually decreased with the increase of a… Show more

“…Fat content of Koi was higher in the present study in comparison to that of many freshwater fish species (Pal and Ghosh, 2013;Swapna et al, 2010, Ackman, 2002and Paul et al, 2016b. Fat content of Koi of the present study is in agreement with earlier report by Nargis (2006). The protein content of Koi was lower than other freshwater fish (Pal and Ghosh, 2013).…”

“…Fish protein occupies an important position in human nutrition (Nargis 2006). Fish is consumed by human being for centuries and is preferred as a perfect diet not only due to its taste and high digestibility but also because of having higher proportions of unsaturated fatty acids, essential amino acids and vitamins and minerals (Kumar, 1992).…”

“…The greater the protein and lipid content represents higher the energy density (Dempson, et al 2004). However, quantities of these constituents vary considerably within and between species, size, sexual condition, feeding season and physical activity (Rosa and Nunes, 2003;Nargis, 2006). In this investigation, the proportion of protein was greater followed by carbohydrate and lipid in the muscle of the prawns.…”

“…So it is important to analyse biochemical composition of protein, fat and ash of fishes that we consume regularly. Although some quality research work have been done [12][13][14][15] on the proximate analysis of some commercially important fishes of Bangladesh but no work on Pangus, Mrigal, Carfu that reflects the proximate analysis of fish species with environmental variation. This study was carried out in order to assess the percentage of proximate composition of the three fish species from different environmental condition through laboratory analysis.…”
