Abstract

DATA on chemical composition of many of the freshwater fishes of our
country is not available and hence an attempt has been made to analyse as
many as thirty-six species. The chemical composition of fish varies widely
from species to species and season to season. There is also individual variation
in the same species. A knowledge of chemical composition is essential
in order to compare its value as food with other protein foods. Stansby
(1954) has elaborated on the importance of chemical analysis.
