Methionine Content Of Some Of The Important Species Of Indian Fishes
(Society of Fisheries Technologists (India) Cochin, 1972) Gowri, V.; Vasantha, M. S.; Srinivasan, K. S.; Moorjani, M. N.
Tsuchiya (1944) reported on the sulphur containing amino acids in fish and devoted . a special study to methionine. Beveridge (1946) established that Lingcod, Halibut, Lemon sole and Spring salmon are excellent sources of methionine. Very little work is reported on the methionine content of Indian fishes. This work was therefore undertaken to determine the methionine content of some of the important varieties of Indian fishes. The results show that among the fresh water fishes, Rohu, Machalu, Mirror carp and Catla are very rich in methionine. The results on the whole show that fish is a rich source of methionine, and as such it could be used with great advantage to supplement the common diets deficient in this essential amino acids.
