Seasonal Variation in the Chemical Composition of Pomfrets-1 Black Pomfret (Parastromateus niger)

Abstract

Seasonal variations in proximate composition of the different
parts such as head, middle, tail and skin of black pomfret (Parastromateus
niger) are reported over three years on monthly basis. The
lean and fatty conditions of fish are discussed on the basis of spawning
period, food and feeding activity, size group appearance and the
gonadial maturity of the pomfret.
