Comparative evaluation of the proximate and mineral compositions of Stolothrissa tanganicae and Limnothrissa miodon from

Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Review - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 12

Abstract

Studies on theproximate and mineral compositions of Stolothrissa tanganicae and limnothrissamiodon were carried out using standardmethods and procedures. The protein contents was significantly higher(P<0.05) in S. tanganicae (63.31-68.76%) .Lipids, moisture and ash weresignificantly different (p<0.05) between the two fish species. Carbohydratecontents were generally low and not significantly different (P>0.05) betweenthe two species. Calcium, Phosphorus and Potassium contents were high in thetwo species (24250-30600ppm), (14914-17458ppm) and (4492.8-11466.8ppm)respectively and significantly different (p>0.05).Magnesium, Sodium, Zincand Iron were not significantly different (P<0.05) between the two species.The fish species have good nutritive values which will assist in the remedy ofhealth and nutritive problems among the populace.
