The contents of the constituents in cultured sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax, Linnaeus 1758) were 69.3% moisture, 18.6% protein, 10.7% fat, 1.3% ash, 0.1% saccharides and 715 kJ per kg energy. Main amino acids were aspartic acid and glutamic acid. High contents of essential amino acids, lysine and leucine, were detected. The fatty acid composition was 24.2% saturated (SFA), 41.0.% monounsaturated (MUFA) and 33.2% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Palmitic acid was the primary saturated fatty acid, contributing approximately by 64% to the total SFA content. Major PUFA were linoleic acid (LA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The cholesterol content of sea bass was 42 mg per kg. Ascorbic acid and niacin contents were higher than other water-soluble vitamins. The major macro- and microelements were K, P, Ca and Zn, Mn, respectively. As, Hg, Cd and Pb contents were far below the amount of the maximum allowable levels.
