Abstract
The quantitative distribution pattern of fat, moisture, protein and ash has been
studied in the muscle of the various zones corresponding to the dorsal and ventral
regions of the body of a common cat fish, H. fossilis (Bloch). The ventral part of the
body showed more accumulation of fat and ash than the dorsal part, while this dorsoventral
gradation was not marked in the case of protein content. All the four constituents
also showed an increase from the anterior to the posterior zones, both in
the ventral as well as dorsal regions of the body. The distribution of moisture
followed an almost opposite pattern, indicating an inverse relationship with fat and
ash contents.
