Abstract
Present study was conducted to determine biochemical composition of fresh Thai pangus (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) cultured at Mymensingh district in Bangladesh. Total percentage of proximate composition of the ten fishes was 98.00±0.68%. Average moisture, protein, lipid, ash, TVB-N, TMA-N and pH of the fishes were 79.21±1.43%, 13.17±0.91%, 4.00±0.45%, 1.60±0.24%, 5.61±0.19 mg/100g, 1.52±0.14 mg/100g and 6.41±0.10, respectively. The trend of proximate composition of Thai pangus was Moisture> Protein> Lipid> Ash. The study indicates that Thai pangus contains low protein and medium fatty fish. The study also indicates that biochemical composition of the fish vary a little bit within the same species.
