Abstract

Biochemical composition and nutritional value of Lake Minnow of the Lena River basin across the four uluses in Yakutia has been determined. Lake Minnow as a typical representative of the small noncommercial fish is widely distributed in the water bodies across Yakutia. The survey material was sampled within the Kobyai (Aryktakh village, Lake Nidzhili), Vilyuisk (Lyokyochyon village, Lake Lyokyochyon), Khangalas (Yrun-Bas site, Lake Urun Bas), and Namtsy (Modut village, Lake Ebe) uluses (districts), Yakutia in 2012–2014. The biochemical composition of fish was determined with the method based on infrared spectroscopy with the SpectraStar-2200 analyzer. The protein content in the muscle tissue of the lake minnow varied from 15.50 to 17.90% depending on the place of catch. The highest protein content was recorded in the fish found in Lake Ebe in the Namtsy ulus (17.90 ± 0.01%). The meat of Phoxinus percnurus (Pallas) of the Lena river basin is assigned to the moderate-calorie food (100–199 kcal/100 g) with low levels of vitamins. Lake Minnow may be regarded as a medium-fat-fish or fatty-fish variety depending on the habitat location. Its protein has a low biological value. The meat of Lake Minnow is significantly inferior to the meat of Yakut crucian in the contents of macro- and micro-elements and vitamins. For the future, Lake Monnow may be required to meet additional feed demand for larvae and hatchlings of growing fish species due to developing the aquaqulture in the republic.
