Produktbeschreibung

Among all carps, rohu has got most preference due to its taste and palatability in Chhattisgarh, but this study shows that Catla is having equally ample nutrients along with high content of protein (more than Rohu), less content of fat (lesser than common carp) and its cost is also less than rohu.Can be referred as a good source of animal protein in people's daily diet. The highest content of protein was recorded in Catla 18.68% whereas it was lowest in common carp 15.36%.The moisture was found to be inversely proportional to lipid content, as also reported by FAO (1999). It can be concluded that the nutritional body composition of selected fishes, including nutrients, is within nutritional ranges required by human beings in their diet. The percentages of protein content ranged between 15.36 - 18.68%, which is quite high.It is clear that cyprinid fishes are good source of good quality lipid, protein and essential minerals in habitats of Chhattisgarh and each species of fish has its own nutritional value parameters due to their different food preferences and ecological conditions.
