Abstract

Proximate composition of sharks, skates and rays varies in the different
seasons of year and from specimen to specimen and even in the same specimen
from part to part of the body. Lipid is the most variable component, from 0.4 to
6.2% in the body and from 12.5 to 48.4% in the liver in fresh condition. Moisture
content is found varying between 71.0 and 84.0%. There is an inverse relationship
between the quantum of water and lipid in the tissue. Protein content is found
to increase with age. Carbohydrate and mineral contents were estimated and discussed
in detail.
