Seven species of prawns of different size caught during different seasons were analysed for fat, nonsaponifiable matter (NSM) and cholesterol for a period of 1 year. The cholesterol content was found to be not steady throughout the seasons with alternate ups and downs, the maximum being in August and November. Two way ANOVA showed that there was significant difference in cholesterol content between species as well as between seasons. A negative correlation of cholesterol content was observed between size and months of sampling from March to June.Downloads
