Deep-sea fishes are a valuable and underexplored resource with significant potential in the food and nutraceutical
industries. This study investigates the proximate composition of eight deep-sea demersal fish species, focusing on protein,
fat, ash, and moisture content to assess their suitability for food applications. The results revealed a promising protein profile
ranging from 10.03 – 17.36 % across the species analyzed. Ash content ranged from 3.25 – 7.35 %, lipid content varied
between 1.21 – 7.03 % and moisture content fell between 70.78 – 79.95 %. These findings demonstrate the diverse
nutritional profiles of these deep-sea fishes, with significant implications for their potential use in food and nutraceutical
formulations. The promising proximate composition data of these deep-sea fishes, along with their protein content, indicate
their potential as a versatile source of high-quality ingredients for food and nutraceutical products. The ash content
reflects the mineral composition, while lipid and moisture content provides insights into the fishes' overall nutritional
value and culinary applications. Further exploration of their bioavailability, sensory characteristics, and processing
methods is essential to unlock their full potential in these industries. Harnessing the nutritional advantages of these
fishes offers an exciting opportunity to diversify and enhance the food and allied sectors while ensuring the sustainable use
of deep-sea resources.
