The proximate composition of five species of fishes Viz. Chanda nama, Osteobrama cotio, Mystus cavious, Channa marulius and Channa punctatus were analyzed to study their nutritive value. Main nutrient composition of fish species like moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrates and ash were estimated. The moisture contents ranged between 72.06± 1.32 % and 75.24±0.21% with lowest in C. marulius and highest in C. nama. Similarly protein contents varied from 13.02±0.19% to 16.76±0.34 with minimum in C. nama and highest in C. marulius. Likewise fat contents ranged between 2.04±0.09 % (O. cotio) and 3.81±0.11 (M. cavious), ash contents 2.51±0.13 (O. cotio) and 4.27±0.12 (M. cavious) and carbohydrates 5.12±0.31% (C. punctatus) and 6.22±0.12% (O. cotio). The energy contents (KJgˉ¹) varied between 5.19±0.18- 5.81±0.21 among different species of fish samples. From the present analysis, it could be concluded that these small size fishes species of Kali Bein are good source of protein.
