COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TOTAL LIPIDS IN THE MUSCLES OF CYPRINUS CARPIO REARING IN PONDS AND RIVER

Abstract

The aim of the current study is to compare total lipid profile of Cyprinus carpio reared in earthen ponds and wild fish (river). A total of 80 fish samples were collected from these locations for the period from November-December 2020 and divided into three weight groups ( W1 , less than 500 g ;W2, 500-1000g and W3 , more than 1000g). Results of present study showed that the total cholesterol content ranged between 17.69-21.63mg\100g in W3 and W1 respectively in river fish, while in pond fish ranged between 22.08-23.59mg\g in W2 and W3 respectively. High density lipoprotein in river fish ranged between 5.84-12.21mg\g in W3 and W1 respectively, in pond fish ranged between 11.18-12.92mg\g in W2 and W1. Low density lipoprotein in river fish ranged between 0.908-1.215 mg\g in W3 and W2, in pond fish ranged between 1.266-1.588 mg\g in W2 and W3 respectively and finally triglycerides in river fish ranged between 53.25-59.69 mg\g in W3 and W1.In pond fish ranged between 60.57-65.98 mg\g in W2 and W3 respectively. Results of statistical analysis of lipid profile showed a significant difference P≤0.05 of Cholesterol, HDL,LDL and Triglycerides in W3 between ponds and river fish , but no significant difference P>0.05 in W1 and W2 of Cholesterol, HDL,LDL and Triglycerides between ponds and river fish.
