Biochemical composition of koi (Anabas testudineus) collected from paddy field of Mymensingh, Bangladesh

Abstract

An experiment was undertaken to analyse proximate composition of Koi (Anabas testudineus), collected from a rice field from Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Fishes were grown as a second crop along with rice. Moisture, protein, lipid and ash percentage (%) were evaluated as 70.07±1.10, 16.97±0.82, 13.01±0.47, 0.95±12, respectively, in wet basis. When compared to previous reports, a lot of variation was observed in the case of lipid.
