Abstract
The levels of macro and micro nutrients in the edible portions of some commercially important fin fishes were determined using the methods recommended by Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). All the fish species investigated were fairly high in macronutrient protein (18 - 21) while the lipid content was less than 3. All the fish were observed to contain no carbohydrate and the moisture and ash content varied within a narrow range. The levels of minerals varied from one fish species to the other. The most abundant micro nutrient was potassium followed by phosphorus sodium magnesium calcium zinc iron copper and manganese respectively. The micro and macro nutrient of all the samples did not exceed the recommended safety limits of sea foods specified by the World Health Organization (WHO 2013). Considering the result of the present study it can be concluded that all the species are rich in food value.
