Abstract
Biochemical composition of three seaweed species, namely, Asparagopsis taxiformis (red seaweed), Hydroclathrus clathratus (brown seaweed) and Colpomenia sinuosa (brown seaweed) from the St. Martin’s Island, Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh was studied in order to evaluate their nutritional value during November, 1995 to April, 1996. The mean value of protein, fat and carbohydrate content was found as 10.63±4.36, 0.02±0.01 and 23.92±4.26% in A. taxiformis, 4.07±0.91, 1.76±0.50 and 18.56±1.36% in H. clathratus and 3.30±0.87, 0.93±0.59 and 22.88±1.12% in C. sinuosa respectively. Considering the results of the present study it can be concluded that all the collected seaweeds from St. Martin's island have food value for human consumption.
