Abstract :In this study, the muscle nutrient content of freshwater fish sold by fishermen in Aksaray province was determined. Carp insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cyprinus carpio);, pikeperch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sander lucieperca);, and pike insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Esox lucius); fish used in the study were first sexed and then filleted. Crude protein insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CP);, Crude fat insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CF);, Crude ash insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CA);, and Moisture insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(M); amounts were determined from muscle tissue taken from the dorsal region of male and female fish. When the nutrient content of carp meat was analyzed, 18.25%, 1.46%, 1.26%, and 78.91% were found, respectively. The nutrient content of the muscle tissue of pikeperch was 18.08% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CP);, 1.58% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CF);, 1.09% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CA);, and 79.14% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(M);, while the nutrient content of pike was 17.17% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CP);, 1.59% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CF);, 1.35% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CA); and 79.78% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(M);. In our study, in the evaluation made according to gender differences, the highest crude protein was measured in male pikeperch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18.49%);, and the lowest crude protein ratio was measured in male pike insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(16.81%);. When our fish were sorted according to their fat ratios, the highest crude fat was measured in male pikeperch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.97%);, and the lowest crude fat ratio was measured in female pikeperch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.18%);. As a result, it was found that the nutrient content of the fish species analyzed in this study differed according to both species and gender.
