Abstract

Introduction: In the world, India is amongst the top three producers of fresh water fish and shrimp fishes are rich in protein, vitamins polyunsaturated fatty acids and mineral salts and are also known as valuable protective food.

Aim of the study: the main aim of the study is Research on the Ayeyarwady River's Wallago attu's Nutritional Profile

Material and method: The Wallago attu specimens came from the city of Mandalay's Ayeyarwady River. In order to eliminate any dirt or other contaminants from the skin water was utilized to rinse and wash the samples.

Conclusion: Samples of Wallago attu (Nga-but) were taken from the Ayeyarwady River in the Mandalay Area. Nutritional information for Wallago attu has been calculated. However, there were a few notable outliers, such as the fact that Wallago attu's protein content was rather constant (16.1-16.4%) during the study period.
