Abstract

Oven dried samples of three commercially important fish species in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria – Clarias gariepinus, Heterotis niloticus and Mormyrus rume was milled and sieved. Proximate analysis, mineral content, free fatty acid content and microbiological qualities were determined using standard analytical procedures. The fish protein pack was formulated in the ratio of
