Small Indigenous Fish Species in Aquaculture in Bangladesh: Contribution to Vitamin A, Calcium, and Iron Intakes
Fish plays an important role in the Bangladeshi diet, constituting the main and often irreplaceable animal food in rural households. Fish consumption is dominated by wild small indigenous fish species (SIS). The vitamin A content in SIS varies from less than 100 to more than 2,500 retinol equivalents (RE) per 100 g of raw edible parts. This study assessed the dietary contribution of vitamin A, ...

متن کاملDoes size matter? Observation on the availability of micronutrients in two different sizes of small freshwater fish Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton, 1822)
Two size groups (based on Total Length, TL) of Amblypharyngodon mola (small, TL=4-7cm; big, TL>7cm) were studied for availability of Ca, Fe, Zn and Vitamin A contents in its body using AAS and HPLC methods. The Ca, Fe and Zn contents of small sized A. mola were found to be significantly higher than that of big sized groups. The average Ca content was estimated to be highest (4680.223 mg.100g-1)...
متن کاملRole of morphometry in determining the feeding success of small freshwater fish species: Multivariate analysis of Amblypharyngodon mola, Puntius ticto, and Esomus danricus
Factor and multiple regression analysis were used to extract the morphometric variables that contributed to feeding success in three small freshwater fishes. Of the first two factors, factor 1, showed high loading of gut weight (GW), length of the upper (UJ), and lower jaws (LJ) in mola, Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton), and GW and vertical mouth opening (VMO) in punti, Puntius ticto (Hamilton)...
