Fresh water prawns from the Friday Fish Market in Amravati were studied to determine their nutritional content. Juvenile prawns were found to have higher protein levels (73.24%) compared to adult prawns (54.65% and 46.12%). Carbohydrate content was lower in juvenile prawns (1.91%) than in adults (2.45% and 4.3%). Lipid content varied, with juvenile prawns having 5.53% and adult prawns having 4.6% and 6.27%. The study suggests that juvenile prawns are a better choice for consumption due to their higher protein content.
