International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies · 2021 · Vol. 9(1) · pp. 223–226

Abstract

Three species of Catfishes (Mystus vitattus, Clarius batrachus and Heteropneustus fossilis) were analyzed for proximate composition i.e. Moisture and Protein content to evaluate their nutritional value. The Moisture content of the fish species ranged between 71.2 ± 0.07% to 79.45±0.04%. The muscle protein content of the fishes were ranged between 14.49±0.96% to 18.14±0.07%.The mean values of moisture and Protein content were found statistically significant (P
