Abstract :In this study, some physical and chemical properties of Shibot (Tor grypus) were determined. Shibot lives in the Dicle (Tigris) and Fırat (Euphrates) rivers, and it is a type of fish, belonging to the Cyprinidae family. Its mean weight and length were found to be 2.36 kg and 77.86 cm. Although it has low carbohydrate content, it was found to be rich in fat and protein. Moisture, fat, protein, ash and pH values were found to be 71.60%, 7.07%, 19.52%, 1.10% and 6.07, respectively. Fish bodies (cleaned fish) and meat yields were also found to be 59.50% and 49.89%, respectively. As a result, it was understood that Shibot has a high potential for human nutrition.
