Abstract

Results of a study of total nitrogen and amino acid composition of scales and fins
of the fish Cirrhina mrigala (Ham.) are reported. Scales contain 1S amino acids of keratin
group, glutamic acid, alanine, histidine, lysine and cysteine being absent. Fins contain
1S amino acids of collagen group, threonine, cystine, cysteine, phenyl alanine and hydroxy
ly.-ine being absent. Tyrosine content ofscalesandarginine content of fins were maximum.
Amounts of amino acids and amino acid nitrogen are greater in fins than in scales, though
the total nitrogen content of scales is greater.
