To Study the Difference of Proximate Composition during Pre and Post- Monsoon Season of Esomus danricus and Puntius sophore
Abstract: Evaluating the proximate composition of fish is the most important aspect in fish nutrition. The present study was carried out to determine the difference of proximate composition of whole fish during pre and post- monsoon season of Esomus danricus and Puntius sophore. The specimens were collected from the market and oven-dried before analyzing them in triplicate using standard procedures. Moisture, protein and ash content of both the species are found to increase in post monsoon season as compared to pre-monsoon while fat content decrease in both the species during post monsoon. The result suggest that the proximate composition of species greatly varies from season to season.
