Abstract:
Knowledge of fish proximate composition is essential to estimate energy value and to plan appropriate industrial and commercial processing. The highest fat content was found in viscera of spotted sardinella (7.30%) and head of goldstrip sardinella (4.43%). The highest protein content was found in whole part (19.57%) and meat (17.99%) of spotted sardinella and whole part of goldstrip sardinella (22.32%). Viscera of spotted sardinella (A.sirm) had the highest fatty acids, that is palmitic acid (19.98%), oleic acid (5.97%) and DHA (21.32%). The highest fatty acid contents in goldstrip sardinella (S.gibbosa) were palmitic acid (15.93%), palmitoleic acid (5.35%) and DHA (12.18%).
