Abstract
Data are given for the moisture and free alpha-amino N contents of 26 spp. of edible marine and freshwater fish, crustacea and molluscs. The alpha-amino N concn. in teleosts ranged from 13.0 mg% (Sciaena sp.) to 164.9 mg% (Catla catla); levels in elasmobranchs ranged from 32.4 mg% (Trigonid sp.) to 47.0 mg% (Carcharinid sp.). Crustacea contained 175.0 mg% (Metapenaeus dobsoni) to 437.0 mg% (Penaeus monodon); molluscs contained alpha-amino N at levels ranging from 67.1 mg% (Sepia sp.) to 190.0 mg% (Loligo sp.).
