AB  - Macro mineral contents of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus were determined in four prawns:<I> Procambis clarkii, Palaenon </I>sp<I>. Macrobrachim vollen hovenii</I> and <I>Penaeus notalis</I> from the coastal  water  of  Ondo  State,  Nigeria  using standard methods of analysis. The mineral levels ranged as follows (mgL<SUP>-1</SUP>): Mg 330-525, Na 165-189, K 176-200, Ca 534-823 and P 210-315. Low variabilities were recorded for all the mineral ratios. There was evidence of mineral bioconcentrations in all the samples. All the prawn samples were good sources of dietary mineral.
