Abstract

Biochemical composition of W. attu and M. seenghala undergo marked changes in relation to length. Fat, protein and ash show an initial fall with length followed by a rise in very large fishes. Moisture showed a negative relationship with fat and protein. Changes in calcium and phosphorus were similar to that of ash. A decrease in calorific values of fat, protein and carbohydrate and in the total calorific values was found associated with length upto a certain size but this was not so in very large fishes. The cycles of different constituents were compared with those of other fishes studied earlier.
