Soumya P. S

Abstract :

 Fish is recognized as an excellent source of protein, containing all the ten essential amino acids in desirable concentrations for human beings and available at cheaper rate. The present study, on “Chemical composition of marine water fish varieties” was aimed at evaluating the nutrients analysis from two fish varieties  namely pink perch (Nemipterus raponicus) and silver belly (Gerres filamentoses) belonging to marine species. The fresh  fish varieties were analysed for chemical constituents like moisture, fat, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A  and peroxide value. From this study it is obvious that for compå the two marine water fish varieties silver belly is  found to be high nutritive value. The peroxide value and fat content were high in pink perch which is an indication of  developing rancidity of fats.
