A Lecturer from the Department of Biology Publishes a Scientific Research

Publication of Scientific Research

The teacher from the Department of biology (Asst. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Wissam Al-Muhanna) published a scientific research entitled (Estimation of Gill Respiratory Area and Diameters of both Red and White Muscle Fibers in Luciobarbus xanthopterus (Heckel, 1843) and Coptodon zillii (Gervais, 1848) (Local Bony Fish in Karbala City) in the Tropical Journal of Natural Product.
The research concluded by conducting a comparative study of the chemical components of the muscles of four bony fishes in two different regions, and this study focused on determining the differences in the values of the chemical components of muscles and the calories of protein and fat. The total protein content was (19.69%) in C. zillii, (25.42%) in C.luteus, (21.92%) in C. carpio, and (23.51%) in C.macrostomum, while the total fat content was (4.25%) in C. C. zillii, (2.23%) in C. luteus, (4.10%) in C. carpio, and (6.42%) in C. macrostomum, so the statistical results indicated that there were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between The studied species in protein and fat content, while the differences were not significant (P > 0.05) between C.zillii, C.luteus and C carpio in the moisture values, and between C.luteus and C.macrostomum in the ash content values, and the fat content values were In the muscles of the studied fish (2.23%) in C. luteus were lean fish, while it was (4.10%) in C. luteus. carpio (4.52%) in C.zillii and (6.24%) in C.macrostomum medium-fat fish. We wish him more creativity and progress in the interested research fields in service of our beloved race, and God Almighty grant him success.
