| Popis: | Shrimps are a very good source of protein; they contain small amount of fat and calories and are relished in many homes across the world. This study attempts to compare the proximate compositions and mineral contents of fresh Penaeus monodon and Penaeus notialis using standard analytical methods. Results of proximate composition revealed that percentage mean values for carbohydrate, crude protein, fat, crude fiber, ash and moisture levels in P. monodon were 13.15 ± 0.18, 9.21 ± 0.03, 4.67 ± 0.05, 1.21 ± 0.12, 3.53 ± 0.06 and 68.24 ± 0.11 respectively while values for P. notialis were 9.77 ± 0.04, 6.09 ± 0.05, 2.68 ± 0.06, 2.88 ± 0.06, 4.89 ± 0.03 and 73.71 ± 0.18, respectively. Both shrimp species were high in all the micro and macro minerals analyzed. However, values for calcium and zinc were significantly higher (p 0.05). |
