Abstract
The present study was performed to understand the Seasonal Changes in Proximate composition of four major dried fish species available throughout the year at Sheoraphuli Government Regulated Market in the District of Hooghly, West Bengal. The market was surveyed from June 2014 to May 2017 in four seasons each of three months. The samples were collected and estimated the Protein, Lipid, Carbohydrate, Moisture, Ash content. The result of this study revealed that mean percentage of protein, lipid, carbohydrate, moisture and ash content ranged from 69.57 to 48.45%., 7.98- 3.17%, 1.15 - 4.22%, 40.00 - 14.73%, and 2.13 - 8.7% respectively. The dried fish products available in the Sheoraphuli Government Regulated Market were found to be nutritious. However, the quality of fish collected in the Monsoon season was not in acceptable limit for consumption. Therefore, care should be taken during storage. Packaging may also be improved for better keeping quality to increase the quality of the products.
