Nutrient Composition of Small Indigenous Fish Species (SIS) from Homestead Ponds of Noakhali Coast, Bangladesh
Estimating the nutrient composition of edible fish is the most important aspect of fish nutrition. Ten small indigenous species (SIS) were collected from the homestead ponds of the Noakhali coast, Bangladesh, to estimate and compare their nutrient composition. The major nutrient compositions (like protein, fat, moisture, ash, and carbohydrate) of raw fish were estimated using the Association of Official Analytical Chemists methods. The protein content (%) of Colisa fasciatus, Amblypharyngodon mola, Puntius ticto, Puntius sarana, Macrognathus aculeatus, Mystus tengara, Anabas testudineus, Heteropneustes fossilis, Channa punctatus, and Clarias batrachus were found to be 14.51±1.2, 14.57±1.19, 14.39±1.23, 16.31±0.48, 17.3±1.74, 13.73±1.34, 13.95±0.43, 14.11±0.82, 13.18±0.57, and 17.15±1.27, respectively. The lipid content (%) of C. fasciatus, A. mola, P. ticto, P. sarana, M. aculeatus, M. tengara, A. testudineus, H. fossilis, C. punctatus, and C. batrachus were found to be 1.55±0.11, 2.51±0.26, 2.14±0.18, 3.05±0.09, 1.67±0.17, 2.54±0.18, 2.85±0.08, 2.51±0.21, 2.11±0.09, and 3.1±0.23, respectively. The ash content (%) of C. fasciatus, A. mola, P. ticto, P. sarana, M. aculeatus, M. tengara, A. testudineus, H. fossilis, C. punctatus, and C. batrachus were found to be 3.43±0.23, 3.1±0.32, 3.72±0.32, 2.79±0.08, 2.44±0.24, 2.56±0.17, 3.06±0.08, 1.68±0.1, 1.7±0.07, and 2.15±0.15, respectively. Moisture content varied from 75.27% in P. sarana to 81.05% in C. punctatus. The carbohydrate content ranged from 1.81% (H. fossilis) to 3.28% (M. aculeatus). One way analysis revealed significant variation (P˂0.05) in the mean value of nutrient contents among the fish species. From the present study, it could be concluded that the homestead ponds contain fish with a good source of nutrition that can help in decreasing the nutrient deficiency in Bangladesh. Thus, it can be added to the cultural system for consumption, as well as, supporting the livelihood of the coastal people.
