Abstract
Introduction: Milkfish is a potential source of animal nutrition especially for supplying human protein needs. In the present paper we provide complete data on nutrient content of milkfish that can be used as a reference for diet formulation and for the further processing of milkfish. Methods: Proximate analysis amino acid and fatty acid composition and vitamin and mineral content of milkfish were determined. Results: The results showed that milkfish contained high concentration of protein (24.18) and high proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids as oleic acid (32.11). The amino acid found in the highest concentration was glutamic acid (1.28). The macro-minerals in the milkfish were calcium (Ca) magnesium (Mg) sodium (Na) and potassium (K). Among the micro-minerals present were iron (Fe) zinc (Zn) copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn) and the main vitamins present include A B1 and B12. Conclusion: Based on their protein content milkfish may be classified as a source of high protein. Glutamic acid which is the highest amino acid in milkfish as well as fatty acid content of oleic acid makes milkfish a healthful fish.
