Abstract EN

Six fresh water fish species were collected from southern Iraqi Marshes.

The biochemical composition of the muscles showed that the protein content was varied from lower value of 17.79%, in Alumnus mossulensis up to the highest value 23.37% in Silurus triostegus.

The fat content was ranged from 1.57% in Liza Abu to 8.30%, in Bar bus sharpeyi.

The moisture content varied from 69.64 to 79.41%, whereas the ash content ranged from 0.89 to 2.35%, Calorific value were estimated.

It ranged from lower value of 91.55 Kcal / 100g in B.sharpeyi up to the highest value 162.42 Kcal/100g in L.abu.

A positive relationship between the muscle fat and calorific value was observed.
