The present study was focussed on proximate composition and nutritional profile of Sardinella longiceps collected from three different coastal areas of Tamilnadu like Chennai, Tuticorin and Kanyakumari. Biochemical parameters like protein, carbohydrate and ash content showed higher % in the fish collected from Chennai coastal area than Tuticorin and Kanyakumari fish sample where lipid content was found to be highest % (value) in Kanyakumari fish sample. Totally 21 Amino acids were estimated among which 13 Amino acids were in toto higher concentration in Chennai coast and 5 in Kanyakumari and 3 at Tuticorin. Protein was highest at Chennai coast in Proximate Composition amino acids profile were found to be present in Chennai > Kanyakumari > Tuticorin.
