The proximate composition, fatty acid, amino acid and fat soluble vitamins of Indian climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, locally called “Koi” were assayed in relation to its body weight. The fish samples were collected from different geographical locations and were grouped as small (10-50g) and big (52-150g) sizes. The proximate composition, essential amino acid (EAA) and non-essential amino acid (NEAA) contents in Koi did not differ significantly between the groups. The monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) content was significantly (P<0.05) higher in bigger sized Koi. The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content was 23.67±0.85 and 13.62±1.02 (%) respectively in the small and big sizes of Koi, while the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was significantly higher in small Koi. The vitamin A content was 85.77±0.35 and 93.90 ±1.34 (I.U./100g) respectively in small and big Koi. Vitamin D content was significantly higher in small Koi compared to big one. Vitamin E and K were significantly (P<0.05) higher in big Koi. The results indicated that Anabas testudineus is a good source of protein, fat, vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids.SAARC J.

The fatty acid, amino acid and fat soluble vitamin content of magur (Clarias batrachus) and singhi (Heteropneustes fossilis) were assayed from collected samples from different geographical locations. Length and weight of collected samples were (50-235g and 165-300 mm) for magur and (50-210g and 190-255mm) for singhi. The essential amino acid (EAA) and the non-essential amino acid (NEAA) content in magur and singhi did not differ significantly. The Vitamin A and D contents were significantly (P<0.05) higher in magur when compared to singhi. The Vitamin K content was significantly (P<0.05) higher in singhi compared to magur. Monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) content was 38.34±4.62 and 49.69±7.82 in magur and singhi respectively. Among the MUFA, oleic acid was significantly (P<0.05) higher in singhi. Palmitic acid was significantly (P<0.05) higher in magur than singhi. The PUFA content were 25.52±1.40 and 13.86±0.64 in magur and singhi respectively. The eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content were 2.98±1.00 and 3.60±1.11; 2.25±0.86 and 1.60±1.09 respectively in magur and singhi. The ?3:?6 ratio in magur was 0.45:1 and in singhi 0.82:1. Both the catfishes were found to be nutrient rich with amino acid, fatty acid and vitamin.SAARC J. Agri., 14(2): 189-199 (2016)

 Study on chemical content of swamp fishes from Merauke has been conducted to obtain nutritional status  of these fishes. Sampling was conducted  twice (August and November 2015) in Merauke. There were six dominant fish species, namely striped snakehead (Channa striata), nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), tade gray mullet (Liza tade), philippine catfish (Clarias batrachus), barramundi (Lates calcarifer), and climbing perch (Anabas testudineus). Result on proximate analysis showed that the fishes had moisture content of 75.73±0.25%-81.45±0.04%, ash 0.94±0.01%-1.26±0.21%, protein 17.11±0.09%-18.92±0.05%, and lipid 0.59±0.19%-3.80±0.63%. The dominant essential amino acid of 6 swamp fishes from Merauke was lysine followed by leucine. Meanwhile the dominant non-essential amino acid was glutamic acid (32.26+0.61 mg/g), followed by aspartic acid. Calcium (Ca) was the dominant macro mineral for all fishes studied, being the highest was in nile tilapia (328.76±8.14 mg/100 g). Micro mineral was dominated by the presence of Selenium (Se) which the highest was in nile tilapia (0.084±0.005 mg/100g). These fishes were also rich in albumin, being the highest was stripe snakehead (138.59±1.68 mg/g). The average of total fatty acid showed that the fishes had saturated fatty acid (SFA) content of 46.30±0.27%, monosaturated fatty acid (MUFA) 9.20±1.6%  and polyunsaturate fatty acid (PUFA) 34.49±0.44% of total fatty acid. From the result, it can be concluded that fish harvested from swamp of Merauke and surrounding area had a good nutritional value.

The availability and compositions of foods in the aquatic system have a direct influence on nutritional compositions of fish muscle. This research aimed to determine the nutritional compositions of wild and cultured climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, between pre-monsoon and post-monsoon. The proximate compositions, total amino acid, and fatty acid profiles were determined by AOAC, HPLC and GC, respectively. The results in dicated that proximate (e.g., moisture, ash, protein and lipid), amino acid and fatty acid profile varied significantly (p<0.05) between wild and cultured fishes depend on season. The highest amount of moisture (79.62±0.92%) was found in wild A. testudineus and lowest amount of ash (2.50±0.09%) was found in cultured A. testudineus during pre-monsoon. For both cultured and wild A. testudineus, amount of protein was higher in post-monsoon than in pre-monsoon period. The protein and amino acids contents as well as lipid and fatty acids of the fish species showed a significant (p<0.05) seasonal variations. Among the 14 recorded amino acidsthe major amino acids in the total crude protein were histidine, methionine, isoleucine, lysine, glutamic acid, and glycine. The ratio of Essential Amino Acid (EA)/Non-Essential Amino Acid (NEA) was highest (0.34) in cultured fish of post-monsoon season and lowest (0.25) in wild fish of pre-monsoon season. The major fatty acid so wild and cultured A. testudineus were oleic acid (18:1), palmitic acid (16:0), linoleic acid (18:2), stearic acid (18:0), palmitoleic acid (16:1), andmyristic acid (14:0).Some fatty acids [Lauric acid (C12:0), Pentad cyclic acid (C15:0), Arachidic acid (C20:0)]were not detected in cultured fish but present in wild fish. The n-3/n-6 ratio was highest (0.48) in wild fish of post-monsoon season and lowest (0.14) in cultured fish of pre-monsoon season. Therefore, a comprehensive study on wild and cultured climbing perch is required for further confirmation of the result of the present study. Bangladesh J. Zool. 48(2): 365-378, 2020

Coastal waters of Indonesia have considerable biodiversity of sea cucumbers. In the present study the amino acid and fatty acid contents in sea cucumber Stichopus vastus collected from Salemo Island waters Indonesia were determined. Results showed that all essential and non-essential amino acids were found in S. vastus. The major essential amino acid content was arginine (28651.62 mg/Kg). Whereas the major non-essential amino acid content was glycine (60907.24 mg/Kg). The total fatty acids were determined in which finding suggested that saturated fatty acid was more than polyunsaturated fatty acid and monounsaturated fatty acid. The higher saturated fatty acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid and monounsaturated fatty acid were palmitic acid (0.07%), arachidonic acid (0.13%) and palmitoleic acid (0.03%) respectively.

The proximate composition, amino acid profile, and fatty acid composition of red crab (Pleuroncodes planipes) indicated that it was highly suitable for inclusion in salmonid diets. The amino acid profile of the proteins was similar to those of fish and the fatty acid composition was approximately 40% linolenic. Rainbow trout fed Oregon Moist Pellet (OMP) type diets containing 10 and 25% red crab were highly pigmented after 2 mo.A method for processing red crab into a dry feed material and a chitinous residue suitable for further processing into chitin derivatives was described.
