Abstract

Fish is an important seafood that provides quality nutrients to human beings which is vital for health and development. This is especially critical in the diets of children under two years old and reproductive women (pregnant and lactating). Selected fish species were sampled from both Lake Victoria and fish farms, and their weight was determined using a sensitive weighing balance and fish-based products (powder and gelatin) developed to food-grade standards. The proximate composition of minerals, amino acid, and fatty acid profile were assessed in the laboratory, and data were analyzed using R statistic tool version 4.2.2 to understand the differences between the variables at a significance level of p
