TY - JOUR T1 - A Comparative Study on Proximate, Mineral and Fatty Acid Compositons of Deep Seawater Rose Shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris, Lucas 1846) and golden Shrimp (Plesionika martia, A.

Amount of lipid in P. longirostris and P. martia was found as 1.1 and 2.61%. Proportion of lipid in both shrimps was lower than that of marine fish. Surprisingly, FA profile of these 2 shrimp species can be comparable with that of marine fish. The amounts of PUFA’s in both shrimp species were found higher than those of SFA and MUFA. Level of DHA in P. longirostris was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of P. martia. In addition, major macro elements found in both of the shrimp species were Ca, K, Na, P and Mg. Zinc and iron were the major micro elements followed by Cu and Mn. Heavy metals such as, Cd and Cr, were in below the safe limits. ER -
