Abstract

Proximate composition of six smoked hill stream fishes viz., Neolissochilus
hexagonolepis, Raiamas guttatus, Schizothorax richardsonii, Semiplotus
manipurensis, Torputitora and Tor tor has been studied. Moisture content ranged
from 10.30 to 29.90% and ash content from 5.20 to 7.00% [%Dry Weight Basis
(DWB)l. Protein value was highest in Schizothorax richardsonii (79.25% DWB)
and lowest in Tor tor (74.75% DWB). Highest value of lipid was observed in S.
manipurensis (18.50% DWB) and lowest in S. richardsonii (9.00% DWB). Total
lipid and protein values were considerably high in all the fishes.
