Biochemical Composition of Indigenous and Imported Trout and Salmon
Keywords:
biochemical composition, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Salmo salarAbstract
As wild fish are a finite resource, the role of aquaculture in providing the necessary fish per capita is becoming
increasingly important.
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are species of interest to Romanians, rich in
omega-3 polyunsaturated fats and a good source of protein, while being low in calories and saturated fats.
The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the biochemical composition, respectively the nutritional
value, of Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout obtained from Romanian aquaculture and from import, that can be found
on the Romanian market.
The results of this study confirm similarities regarding the biochemical composition of salmon obtained in Romanian
aquaculture with wild Atlantic salmon.
Rainbow trout bred in trout farms in different areas in our country, can be considered a valuable food source for
human consumption.
