Among studied species, S. galilaeus possesses <br>the highest values of nutrients except Ca while O. niloticus<br>possesses the lowest values except P and Ca. For elements, <br>1057 mg/Kg of Mg was the highest while 36 mg/Kg of Ca was <br>the lowest. The conclusion is cichlid fishes have a high <br>nutritional value with remarkable differences among studied <br>species.</p> ER -
