Abstract
Proximate analysis data for whole beach-spawning capelin from various parts of Newfoundland collected over a period of 20 years is generally similar when allowance is made for trends occurring during the brief spawning season. These trends, more evident in males, are, concurrently, a sharp decline in fat content, a slight increase in moisture, and a small decrease in protein. Ranges observed for these variables on a wet weight basis were, respectively, 8.1–1.8%, 77.1–82.3% and 15–12.9% (crude protein). Similar values were obtained for muscle tissue.
