Effect Of Sex On The Nutritional Content of Some Fresh Water Fish Species (Carp-Cyprinus carpio, Pike-Sander lucieperca and Pike perch-Esox lucius)

Abstract

In this study, the muscle nutrient content of freshwater fish sold by fishermen in Aksaray province was determined. Carp (Cyprinus carpio), pikeperch (Sander lucieperca), and pike (Esox lucius) fish used in the study were first sexed and then filleted. Crude protein (CP), Crude fat (CF), Crude ash (CA), and Moisture (M) amounts were determined from muscle tissue taken from the dorsal region of male and female fish. When the nutrient content of carp meat was analyzed, 18.25%, 1.46%, 1.26%, and 78.91% were found, respectively. The nutrient content of the muscle tissue of pikeperch was 18.08% (CP), 1.58% (CF), 1.09% (CA), and 79.14% (M), while the nutrient content of pike was 17.17% (CP), 1.59% (CF), 1.35% (CA) and 79.78% (M). In our study, in the evaluation made according to gender differences, the highest crude protein was measured in male pikeperch (18.49%), and the lowest crude protein ratio was measured in male pike (16.81%). When our fish were sorted according to their fat ratios, the highest crude fat was measured in male pikeperch (1.97%), and the lowest crude fat ratio was measured in female pikeperch (1.18%). As a result, it was found that the nutrient content of the fish species analyzed in this study differed according to both species and gender.
