Nutritional profile of wild, pond-, gher- and cage-cultured tilapia in Bangladesh

The proximate, minerals, amino acid and fatty acid composition of wild, pond-, gher- and cage-cultured tilapia in Bangladesh were evaluated and varied significantly (p < 0.05). The major component of the tilapia was moisture (79.12%–81.36%), followed by protein (14.93%–16.03%), lipid (0.59%–2.35%), carbohydrate (1.23%–1.51%), fibre (0.47%–0.88%), ash (0.31%–0.53%); the energy value was between 97.62 and 126.73 kcal/100 g. Macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients were detected in following order: K > Na > Mg > Ca and Fe > Mn, respectively in all the tilapia and the ratio of Na/K was
