Seasonal Biochemical Variation in the Muscles of Fresh Water Fish Channa Striata

Author Name : Niture S.D

ABSTRACT

The Present investigation deals with study of seasonal biochemical variation in muscles of indigenous fresh water fish species Channa striata collected from fishermen of  Tiru reservoir (Latitude.18.555543⁰ N Longitude 77.0736410 E) of Udgir region Dist. Latur Maharashtra. Seasonal variation in Muscle moisture, Protein, Glycogen and lipid is studied during December 2020 to November 2021. Moisture content is minimum in the month of June (74.22%) and maximum in the month of January (77.66%) with average mean value 75.49%.  Protein content in the Muscles of  Channa striata  on dry weight basis is minimum in the month July (66.53863 ± 0.04714%) and maximum Protein content in the month January (79.53863 ± 0.094281%) with average mean value 70.69974 ±0.095576%.   Glycogen content in the Muscles of  Channa striata  on dry weight basis is minimum in the May (0.462331 ± 0.008165%) and maximum Glycogen content in the month December (0.868998 ± 0.004714%) with average mean value 0.672887 ±0.009474%. Lipid content in the Muscles of  Channa striata  on dry weight basis is minimum in the January (3.098424 ± 0.008165%) and maximum Lipid content in the month  November (4.921758±0.020548%) with average mean value 3.87398 ±0.017615%.
