Size measurements, anatomical composition and proximate composition of Horse eye mackerel fish (Caranax carangus) were carried out. The mean values of length (cm) and weight (g) were 21.79~c 1.76 and 87.96 ~c 21.4 respectively. Anatomical fractionation showed that the fish samples contained on the average 45.8% fillet, 17.75% head, 25.98% body frame and 6.12% gut. The proximate composition analysis showed that the fish sample contained 77.2% water content, 0.4% lipid, 20.63% protein and 1.67% ash. Horse eye mackerel fish thus constitutes a source of high protein as well as an ideal dietetic fish food. |
