Abstract. Anita S, Haryono, Wahyudewantoro G. 2019. Nutritional component of Barbonymus balleroides: A wild fresh water fish from Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 581-588. Barbonymus balleroides is a native species of fish from Indonesia that threatens by overfishing activity and habitat damage whereas little is known about its nutritional information. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional content of wild barb fish that was collected from two different sites in Indonesia. Fishes were collected from Serayu and Cipunagara River. The body part of fishes was grouped and weighted to identify the ratio. Proximate composition was determined for flesh and byproduct parts. Flesh parts of fish were then examined for mineral content, fatty acid, and amino acid profile. Barb fish samples mainly form Cipunagara River contain high protein compare to several Indonesian freshwater fishes that commonly consumed. Flesh samples from both fish group were the heaviest part followed by its edible byproduct that often wasted. The amount of moisture and protein were higher in the flesh parts while byproduct showed higher content of fat and ash. Both samples contained a dominant amount of macro elements K and P. Fatty acid profile of flesh samples showed essential fatty acid that is good for human health. Amino acid profile showed the most dominant amino acid found in both samples was glutamic acid.

Mastacembelus Armatus

The present investigation deals with the study of cestode host relationship in a fresh water fish, Mastacembelus armatus (Lacepede) in relation to the body temperature of the host. The maximum prevalence, mean intensity and relative density were recorded in the host fish ranging from 26-31°C and lowest at 32- 370C body temperature respectively . The fishes at 20-250C body temperature had no infection of cestode parasites.

Fresh water fish is one of the nutritious food sources for the people in Indonesia including in North Sulawesi.  Other than its protein, the fish oil has an important source of energy as well as nutraceutical of the people.  Some fatty acids, especially omega three fatty acids have been known for their function in prevention of some artery diseases.  There is not so much information available about the fatty acid composition in the fresh water fishes.  Therefore, the purposes of this research are to determine the present of fatty acids and their composition in the fresh water fishes.  The fish samples including, tilapia (mujair), carp (ikan mas), catfish (lele), snakehead (gabus) have been collected from various parts in North Sulawesi.  Fatty acids were identified using standard fatty acid mix and measured for their concentration using gas chromatographic technique.  The main fatty acids are following to their abundancy: oleic acid varies from 27.24 % for snakehead to 42.22 % for catfish; palmitic acid varies from 22.32 % for carp to 26.91 % for snakehead fish; and linolenic acid varies from 11.89 % for snakehead to 22.46 % for carp.  Among the fresh water fishes, the snakehead fish has a unique fatty acid composition, it has high concentration of docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, DHA).

Brachyplatystoma vaillanti is locally very common in the Amazon river, though, during my collecting tour in 1931, I examined only twenty-two examples, caught between Codajaz (nearly 1200 miles from the sea) and Gurupa. The local name of this Siluroid is Piramutāb; it is a fairly large fish (my largest specimen measuring 67 cm. in length) and possesses very long maxillary barbels (in some cases nearly as long as the body). From this fish I obtained two new species of Cestodes, one, the more numerous parasite, is a Phyllobothriid, and, so far as I am aware, this is the first occasion on which a Phyllobothriid has been described both from a fresh-water fish and from a Siluroid; and the other is a second and new species of Fuhrmann's genus Goezeella, very closely related to his G. siluri described in 1915.
