ABSTRACT

The knowledge of the biochemical and mineral composition of food is of utmost importance to know its nutritional value of fishes. In the present era the peoples are very precautious about health and diet. The fishes are known for rich source of protein. Fish contains almost all the nutrients required for good quality health. An attempt was made to estimate the biochemical and mineral compositions of body muscles of Puntius sophore collected from Mudagodu tank of Karnataka. The evaluation of biochemical composition included the moisture, fat, protein, ash and carbohydrate contents. Along with these nutrients, few minerals like potassium, phosphorous, pagnesium, calcium, zinc and copper were also evaluated in this study. The fish samples collected from different sites of the tank exhibited fluctuations in nutritional values.
