In the present investigation the nutritional parameters of fish includes proteins, fats, moisture and ash contents were analyzed in powder sample (dry sample). The average percentages of the proteins, fats, moisture and ash contents were identified as 20.34±1.01, 1.69±0.29, 77.83±1.01, 1.0±0.09 respectively.

Introduction Triglycerides which are present in the fish oil have some clinical applications and they can minimize the blood glucose levels as supplemented in human diet (Boberg, 1990). Suganthi et al., (2015) stated that three polyunsaturated compounds like EPA, DHA (Eicosapentanaeoic acid, Docosahexaenoic acid and Ω-3 fatty acids) are much prominent components for proper growth, which helps in preventing some cardiovascular problems in children in particular coronary heart disease. Ojewola and Annah (2006) stated that fish proteins used as alternative source in dietary supplements to the pigs and leading to enhance their body weight as well as meat yielding capacity. Limited research reports are available on nutritional value of fresh water fish species Catla catla. Hence in this research work an effort was made to know the biochemical components in fifteen different samples of the fish and the average values were recorded. Materials and Methods The collected samples were kept in icebox containing ice with a fish in the ratio of 1:2 and brought to the laboratory. The collected samples were stored in -20 0 C freezer until laboratory analysis. Before starting the experimentation the freeze samples were taken out from the freezer, after thawing, the samples were washed with distilled water and dissection was performed by using clean stainless-steel knife. Head and viscera were removed and the flesh in good condition was selected and make into tiny pieces (2/3g of the tissue was used for the experimental analysis).
