Description :
The freshwater fish Labeo calbasu (Ham) were collected monthly from Krishna River during January 2013to Dec 2014 and were obtained from fisherman. There is no any drastic change was observed in the Protein content in the muscles, but shows its lowest value in the month of October (12.92486 ± 0.0516) and highest value is observed in the month of June (19.5555 ± 0.0437).Glycogen level steadily decreases from the month of January to December. Its highest value is recorded in the month of February (0.68175 ± 2.5666-3) and lowest value was observed in the month of December (0.24058 ± 6.42132-3). Ascorbic acid level shows two peak values in the months of March to June(0.3525 ± 6.4549-3 to 0.4316 ± 0.01123) and October to December(0.3133 ± 8.2881-3). Lipid in the muscles are found at higher level in the months of August (0.55995 ± 3.5603-3), December (0.6069 ± 2.4842-3) and January (0.6097 ± 2.8588-3). All these results show that the biochemical constituents were greatly influenced by the breeding activity.
Key words: Mystus cavasius, Protein, Glycogen, Lipid and Ascorbic Acid.
