Abstract

In present study, chemical, fatty acid, and heavy metal compositions were determined for five species
of swamp water fish from Tanah Laut, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Chemical composition was found to be
15.85-21.74% protein, 0.45-3.24% fat, 0.99- 4.13% ash, and 74.23-78.84% water, whereas the fatty acid
compositions consisted of 0.04-19.99% saturated fatty acids (SFA), 0.79-19.66% monounsaturated fatty acid
(MUFA) and 0.05-4.7% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Among them, those occurring in the highest
proportions were lauric acid (C12:0, 0.04-0.1%), myristic acid (C14:0, 0.51-1.03%), palmitoleic acid (C16:1,
0.79-2.67%), linolenic acid (C18:3, 0.18-3.09%), arachidonic acid (C20:4, 1.18-3.19%), linoleic acid (C18:2,
1.31-4.7%), stearic acid (C18:0, 5.86-10.62%), oleic acid (C18:1, 5.19-19.66%), palmitic acid (C16:0, 8.86-
19.99 %), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5,n-3 0.05-1.53%), docosahexaenoic (DHA, C22:6,n-3 0.41-
1.97%). The rest of heavy metals contents including lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were not detected.
