Abstract

Protein being an important constituent of animal tissues, has a main role in cell metabolism. Many species of fish are consumed as food in virtually all regions around the world. Fish has been an important source of protein and another nutrient’s for humans throughout history. Intermediate technology publication published in 1992 states that “Fish provides a good source of high-quality protein and contains many vitamins and minerals.” Animal proteins which include milk, fish, meat, and egg are essentially required for nutritionally balanced diets that are available from diverse food commodities. More than two-third of the protein supply in fish was contributed by freshwater fishes. Three different fish species are selected for the study of protein from the local fish market for the present estimation. There is a significant difference in total protein content of body muscles of Notopterus notopterus, Cyprinus carpio and Mystus seenghala.
