Biochemical Composition of Three Commercial Fishes ( Liza Vaigensis , Rastrelliger Kanagurta and Scomberioders tol ) Collected from Sonmiani, Balochistan Coast of Pakistan

Abstract

This study reports the biochemical composition of three important edible commercial fish species (1. Liza vaigiensis 2. Rastrelliger kanagurta 3. Scomberoides tol ) collected during surveys of fish harbor Dam Sonmiani Balochistan coast in February, 2017. The results demonstrate that protein value ranging from 40-52%, lipid 4-6%, carbohydrate 13.3-22%, ash 20-37.5%, moisture 2-6% and water 70.7-73.7%. This study records length, width and weight of each species too. There was positive significant relationship found in between biochemical constituents of all studied fishes.
