AB  - Proximate, Fatty Acids (FA) and element compositions of two shrimp species, deep seawater rose-shrimp (<I>Parapenaeus longirostris</I>) and golden shrimp (<I>Plesionika martia</I>), were determined. Amount of lipid in <I>P. longirostris</I> and <I>P. martia</I> 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&#146;s in both shrimp species were found higher than those of SFA and MUFA. Level of DHA in <I>P. longirostris</I> was significantly (p&lt;0.05) higher than that of <I>P. martia</I>. 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.
