Abstrakt: Nutritional comparison of Auchenoglanis occidentalis (180 ± 2 g), Labeo parvus (178 ± 2.2 g) and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (176 ± 3.2 g) was carried out. Proximate, mineral, and amino acid analysis were carried out. The result was analyzed using an appropriate statistical tool. The trend of the fish nutritional qualities is: A. occidentalis > L. parvus > C. nigrodigitatus. A. occidentalis had significantly (p <.05) higher mineral composition, highest daily mineral intake, chemical score (CS) (73.32 g/100 g cp), predicted protein efficiency ratio (P-PER) (2.54 g/100 g cp), and biological value (BV) (80.46 g/100 g cp). Consumption of A. occidentalis over L. parvus and C. nigrodigitatus is therefore recommended as a source of high-quality protein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
