ABSTRACT
Food is a determinant factor in a fish culture and fish meal has been source of protein for
decades. However, fish meal is still imported, and therefore its price is relatively expensive. Many
studies on fish nutrition have been initiated to find out alternative raw materials to substitute the fish
meal.The objective of this research was to study proximate content of Littoraria scabra weated with
45"C, 55T, and 65'C had content of protein, fat, water, ash, fiber, and carbohydrate ranging kom
50.66to56.78%, 5.96to6.82%,6.69to 13.29%, 11.97to 12.63%,3.55to4.08%,and 14.14to 14.57%
respectively. It can be concluded that proximate wntent of the meals of Litioraria scabra could be
used as raw material of fish food.
Key words: Proximate content, marine animals, Liftorariascabra meal, fish food.
