COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE PROXIMATE, FATTY ACIDS AND MINERAL COMPOSITION OF SELECTED FISH SPECIES
Proximate, minerals, fatty acids and cholesterol compositions were determined in five different freshwater fish species (Oreochromis leucostictus, Clarias garipinus, Gynarchus niloticus, Hyperopisus bebe occidentallis and Synodotus clarias) obtained from Shiroro Lake, Niger State, Nigeria using stan...

Proximate, minerals, fatty acids and cholesterol compositions were determined in five different freshwater fish species (Oreochromis leucostictus, Clarias garipinus, Gynarchus niloticus, Hyperopisus bebe occidentallis and Synodotus clarias) obtained from Shiroro Lake, Niger State, Nigeria using standard analytical methods.
