The researchers studied the composition of four freshwater fish from Maga Lake in Cameroon. They found that all fish had high protein and lipid content, with catfish having the highest polyunsaturated fatty acids. Carp had the highest ash content. The fish also contained important fatty acids like EPA and DHA, which are good for health. The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids was favorable, especially in carp, making them a healthy choice for human consumption. Additionally, the fish were rich in minerals, making them a good source for enhancing mineral intake and preventing deficiencies.
