ABSTRACT: The commercial and industrial catch of marine fishes generally consists of edible and inedible species. Among inedible species the bulk catches of small size fishes are also included and these small fishes are commonly referred to as trash fish or Low value fish . Therefore this research has been designed to evaluate the nutritive compound found in trash fish which is commonly catches along with the commercial and industrial catch of marine fishes. The moisture, crude protein, crude fat and calorific value were estimated by standard methods. The results were discussed in relation with the utilization of important compounds like protein, crude fat and amino acids in food, medicine and other commercial purposes.

KEYWORDS: Low value; protein; fats; crude fat,; moisture; trash fish
