Comparative evaluation of the proximate and mineral compositions of stolothrissa tanganicae and limnothrissa miodon from lake tanganyika
Keywords:
Proximate;Mineral compositions;Stolothrissa;Limnothrissa;Lake tanganyikaAbstract
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.
