Effect of Seasonal Changes in Proximate Composition of Common Pandora (Pagellus erythrinus, Linnaeus 1758) Catched from Saros

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the seasonal changes in water, protein, lipid and ash contents of common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) a commercial fish species caught from Saros Bay (Turkey) via trawl nets. Eight samplings were taken twice during each season (January 2007- February 2008). Water %, protein %, lipid % and ash % content in the muscle for winter period were found to be 83.10; 13.59; 1.73 and 1.18, respectively. These values were recorded as 82.94; 13.32; 2.02 and 1.27, respectively for spring. The findings were 83.69; 13.29; 1.65 and 1.23 in summer and 84.21; 12.66; 1.46 and 1.18 in fall, respectively. Seasonal differences can be explained by the prolonged spawning period of fish from spring to fall. Changes occurred in the proximate composition depending on the seasons had no significant impact on marketing value of fish.
