Nutrient contents of some popular freshwater and marine fish species of Bangladesh

An investigation was carried out on the proximate and mineral contents of widely consumed freshwater small indigenous species (SIS), culture and marine fish species of Bangladesh. Proximate composition (crude protein, fat, ash, moisture, carbohydrate and energy) and selected mineral (Ca, K, Na, Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn) contents were determined eighteen locally available fish species of Bangladesh. Considering proximate composition high protein fishes are Thai Sarpunti 17.5 ± 0.15%, Rui 16.82% ± 0.02; high fat fishes are Thai Pangus 10.03±0.1%, Thai Sarpunti 9.38±0.37%; high Ash contents in Poa 4.78 ± 0.92 %, Ganges Chapila 3.96 ± 0.51%, Thai Sarpunti 3.31 ± 0.14%; high energy found in Thai Sarpunti 157.02 ± 2.61 Kcal/g and Thai Pangus 151.59 ± 2.71 Kcal/g. Considering mineral compositions, Ca rich fishes are Punti 1984.32 ± 1.1 mg, Mola 1267 ± 2.2 mg, Dhela 1717.8 ± 3.1 mg, Chapila 1100.6 ± 1.21 mg, Thai Sarpunti 1373.9 ± 5.32 mg. K rich fishes are Taki 501.47 ± 2.9 mg, Coral 415.24 ± 2.8 mg and Na rich fishes are Thai Sarpunti 780.01 ± 3.8, Ganges Chapila 415.32 ± 2.34 mg, Loitta 497.38 ± 4.21 mg. Trace mineral, Mg is high in Coral 187.98 ± 0.61 mg, Punti 148.16 ± 0.62 mg, Datina 144.05 ± 0.35 mg, Kachki 143.49 ± 0.3 mg fishes, whereas Fe are high in Chapila 15.95 ± 0.03mg, Punti 10.31 ± 0.2, Poa 7.01±0.66 and Zn in Thai Sarpunti 40.20 ± 0.34 mg, Poa 29.32 ± 0.32 mg fishes. Considering Mn, Chapila 6.34 ± 0.04 mg is the highest. This study indicate that small fishes with bones are important source of essential minerals especially Ca. Culture species found to be rich in source of protein, energy and lipids. Marine species exhibit good combination of protein and minerals. This study also encourage to take a culture species like Thai Sarpunti (Barbonymus gonionotus) for its high nutritional meat values and also to consume marine fishes and small fishes with bones for better nourishment. Promotion of the production and consumption of small fishes therefore be encouraged for better nutritional achievement.Bangladesh J. Zool. 42(2): 251-259, 2014

A first survey on a community marine species in river of Mahakam East Kalimantan was performed in December 2015 and May 2016. Fish samplings were carried out from two locations the lower and the middle part of Mahakam. Whilst hydrometric observation of current velocity, water depth and tide was measured not only at the locations but also along the river from 2013 to 2017, tide was only observed in the lower part of Mahakam. However, marine fish species were recognized to reach up the middle part of Mahakam, 230 km from coastline. To describe a community fish structure and its dissimilarity of the two surveyed locations, diversity and bray Curtis index were applied. Almost 15 marine fish species identified in river of Mahakam was demersal fish and index of the similarity of marine fish community between the locations only 0.106.

Scientific Papers

The recent paper by Bariche & Fricke (2020) presents an updated checklist of the marine fish species in Lebanon including 367 fish species, 70 non-indigenous and 28 new records. According to Bariche & Fricke (2020), the inventory is based on the published scientific papers related to the marine fishes in Lebanon, since Gruvel (1928, 1931), as well as “grey literature, images published in newspapers or on local websites and social media”. However, important scientific papers and published reports, providing important data on marine fishes in Lebanon, were missed. Hereby we cite twelve scientific papers: [Nafpaktitis (1963), Bath (1977), Shiber (1981), Moosleitner (1988), Lakkis et al. (1996), Bariche (2006), Bariche et al. (2006); Bitar et al. (2007), Bariche & Trilles (2008), Bitar (2010), Khalaf et al. (2014), and Bitar (2015) in Zenetos et al. (2015)], twelve national reports [the national report of Abboud Abi Saab et al. (2003) under the framework of a Libano-Franco cooperation, the national report of Majdalani (2005) under the framework of the Ministry of Agricultue (MoA), the two reports in cooperation between the Food Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS) Lelli et al. (2006), and Sacchi & Dimech (2011), and the eight national reports in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and the organizations of: (i) aecid/Tragsa as MoE/aecid/Tragsa (2009), (ii) International Union for Conservaion Nature (IUCN)- Specially Protected Areas Regional Activity Centre (SPA/RAC) as IUCN-SPA/RAC (2017), (iii) the SPA/RAC as Bitar (2008), RAC/SPA-UNEP/MAP (2014), IUCN-SPA/RAC (2017), and SPA/RAC-UN Environment/MAP (2017, 2018a, 2018b), and finally, the book of Lakkis (2013)]. Concerning the publication of Lakkis et al. (1996), and the book of Lakkis (2013), only the valid and confirmed/ or proofed marine fish species were listed in Table 1. While, the questionable/ doubtful marine fish records from those two references were listed in Table 2 and Table 3 (see suppl.file 2, and 3). In this context and based on the Lebanese literature, Bariche & Fricke (2020) missed the reports of 9 species (Table 1). Therefore, the list of marine fish of Lebanon (Bariche & Fricke, 2020) is enriched reaching 376 species, 71 of which are non-indigenous species (See suppl.file 1). In agreement with Zenetos & Galanidi (2020) we state that even the current update may contain errors, as species invasions are dynamic phenomena, where new information continually comes to light, whether from new observations or from re-examination of older material, changes in nomenclature and phylogenetic studies.
