    (connect Journals, 2012) Aneesh, P. A.; Varkey, Jones; Anandan, R.; Mathew, S.; Asha, K. K.; Lakshmanan, P. T.; Sankar, T. V.
    Proximate composition, amino acid profile, fatty acid composition and mineral status of Commerson’s anchovy (Stolephorus commersonii) and Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) were examined. It is observed that the amino acid composition and fatty acid profile of low value Commerson’s anchovy (Stolephorus commersonii) is comparable to that of Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta). It is found to be rich in all essential amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids in balanced proportions. It is also containing minerals, macro elements and trace elements in significant proportions. The results of the present study indicate that both Commerson’s anchovy and Indian Mackerel contain all nutrients in balanced proportions essentially required for the growing children and pregnant women.
