Nutritional Compositions and Heavy Metal Accumulation Potentials of Selected Fish Species from Ijede River, Lagos, Nigeria
Author(s): Ogundiran MAOgundiran MA
This work aimed at ascertaining the nutritional suitability of some selected fish species in Ijede River, Nigeria. Evaluating the proximate composition, amino acids, mineral compositions and heavy metal accumulation of food fish is the most important aspect in fish nutrition. These were evaluated in Chelaeltiops bibie, Cithrarinus latus, Laeviscutella dekimpei, and Phago loricatus obtained from Ijede River, Lagos State, Nigeria, using standard laboratory procedures. All the amino acids analyzed were present in all the species examined with the highest value of total amino acids found in Laeviscutella dekimpei (283.1 mg/kg-1) except Phago loricatus that has the highest value of 70.00 ± 1.01. Minerals were also evaluated and the highest values were recorded in Phago loricatus with the exception of Calcium that has the highest value of 155.11 ± 1.22 mg/kg-1 in Laeviscutella.. View More»
