Bioavailability of Ca, K, Mg and Na in Arabian Yellow Finned Sea Bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus) with Estimated Daily Intake for Human Consumption

Yellow finned sea bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus) is a commercially important fish of coastal water Pakistan. It widely consumed by the people within and outside country. Therefore, paper investigates concentration macro-minerals (Ca, K, Mg Na) in its meat gills. The concentrations different elements demonstrated statistically significant difference (P < 0.01) between gills fish. Significantly higher calcium lower potassium sodium were recorded compared to those meat. In meat, mean found order Na (5.41%) > K (3.44%) Ca (2.16%) (0.24%), while gills, (57.72%) (3.43%) (1.19%) (0.31%). Statistically correlations 0.05) noted body weight magnesium results are also with estimated daily intake dietary reference values. present study suggests that Acanthopagrus arabicus an source for human consumption.
