Nutritional Composition Of Wildand Hormone Sex Reversed Nile Tilapia(Oreochromisniloticus)

Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional composition through analysis of wild and hormone treated Nile Tilapia, Oreochromisniloticus. The fifteensamples of each wild and sex reversed were measured. The mean weight ofwild species samples were (225.9± 19.9 g), whilesex reversed samples were (169.9±46.3 g) with, significant difference(p<0.05). The result of chemical composition presentedwas as mean percentage to moisture, Fat, Crude protein and Ash all which considered determined parameters of fish quality and nutritive value of each fish group. The dried samples of wild and sex reversed fishes has significant difference (p<0.05) in moisture as (50.49 and 18.20 %), crude protein as(86.16 and 65.2 %), Fiber such as (62.26 and 18.28 %) wild and sex reversal, respectively . No %),and Ash (17.69 and 16.62 %) for both samples. From the obtained result ,it is preferable to encourage farming will fingerlings of separation or selective breeding to improve of fish farmed stock instead of using hormonal treatment.
