From market they were carried in iced box and immediately transported to the laboratory. The specimens after having brought to the laboratory were cut open to determine the sex and biochemical analysis i.e. fat and moisture content were carried out. The percentage of moisture in the muscles of Puntius sarana was found to fluctuate between 53.60% to 60.25 %. The percentage of moisture in liver was found to fluctuate between 53.10% to 57.94%. In ovaries the percentage of moisture content fluctuates between 53.00 % to 57.47%. The fat content in muscle was found to fluctuate between 1.60% to 2.39%. The fat content in liver was fluctuate between 3.07% to 4.10%. The fluctuation in the percentage of fat content in ovaries was varied from 1.70% to 3.77%.
