“…It increased from an average of 7.6% in February and May to 15.4% in September and subsequently decreased to 12.2% in November. This variation coincides with the cycle of feeding and maturation (Wood, 1957;Iles & Wood, 1965;Henderson & Almatar, 1989).…”

“…Iles and Wood (1965), analyzing Wood (1958) data, established a close linear relationship between percentage of fat and percentage of water for herring (Clupea harengus); similar results were recorded by Brandes and Dietrich (1953) for muscle fillets from the same species. In addition, it has been found that the relationship is constant under the widely different conditions associated with seasonal cycles of feeding, somatic growth, and gonad maturation (Iles and Wood, 1965). Emmans (1981) stated that an ideal method to calculate the nutritional requirements and indicate the food intake of an animal during its development is firstly to discover its growth potential.…”

-The objective of this study was to describe the growth of freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) using the Gompertz model, determining the relative growth and allometric coefficients of body components in relation to body weight and protein weight. Six hundred animals were grown until 233 days of age. Data on chemical composition (water, lipid, protein, and ash) and weight measurements were obtained each 30 days. The Gompertz growth equation was used to analyze chemical allometry and to estimate growth parameters. The relationship between chemical components and body protein was estimated. Protein and body weight increased proportionally, with ash being the earliest nutrient (209.2 days), while lipid deposition occurred later. Linear regression analysis showed an inverse relationship between lipids and body water. This study provided a useful equation to predict the growth, chemical body composition, and rate of nutrient deposition across the life stages of freshwater angelfish. The rates of nutrient deposition as a function of body weight are important to understand the growth process of freshwater angelfish. Thus, mature weight was estimated in 26.14 g. The allometric relationships of body components and deposition rates indicated that protein and body weight are highly correlated across the life stages of freshwater angelfish. The Gompertz equation is a useful tool to describe the growth and body composition of freshwater angelfish.Key Words: allometry, growth curve, ornamental fish Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia

“…Such estimates are used simply because the measurement of water is easy and rapid. These relationships have been shown to exist in various fish species and have been extensively used for predictive estimates (Brett et al 1969;Iles andWood 1965, Salam et al 1993). The information obtained on fats, protein and minerals contents and how they vary in relation to size and condition factor are important for the fish used as food by the consumers.…”

Fish specimen of Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus mrigala, Hypophthalmicthys molitrix and Catla catla were sampled from three ponds of different depths (152 cm, 122 cm and 76 cm) to compare the body composition of these species in relation to pond depth. There was significant (P < 0.001) effect of pond depth on water, ash, organic, fat and protein contents (all % wet and dry body weight). It was observed that pond depth has significant effect (P < 0.01) on condition factor in pond B (122 cm depth) and no effect in pond A and C. Maximum mean values of body composition were observed in Labeo rohita in all the three ponds. Present study demonstrates that fish cultured in ponds of different depths have different values of protein which can help guide the farmers to select best pond depths to produce protein rich fish.
