Abstract

In the hillstream fish Garra Mullya (Sykes) marked seasonal variations in
phosphorus, water, fat, protein and glycogen were observed during a one-year
study. The fat and water contents were inversely related; maximum fat was observed
during the prespawning months, while the minimum after the breeding. The
relationship between fat and protein was a direct one. The muscle glycogen was
in assocation to feeding and spawning activity. High energy values were found
throughout the prespawning period.
