In this study the nutritive value of Pampusargenteusfillet, as one of the valuable constituents in human dietwas evaluated. This fish was captured from coastal waters of Bushehr Province, in 2011.The crude protein content (net weight), crude lipid and moisture of thespecimens were measured as 19±0.27, 5.1±0.11 and 74.8±0.44 percent (wet weight), respectively. The results showed that silver pomfret is a good source of essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. The major amino acid that detected were glutamic acid, Lysine, Aspartic acid, valine and leucinewith the percentages of 14.72±0.03, 10.87±0.13, 10.44±0.20, 9.62±0.07 and 9.23±0.11 percent respectively. Total saturated fatty acids (25 kinds) were determined as the major constituent (50.4 %) of the whole lipid content. The dominant fatty acid detected was Palmitic acid fallowed by Leinoleic acid, Oleic acid, Docosahexanoic acid and Meristic acid,12.76±0.52, 10.61±0.36, 7.7±0.17 and 5.3±0.36 percent respectively. The unsaturated fatty acids content comprises ω3 (11.69%), ω6 (12.76%) and ω9 (10.61%). As our results revealed, silver pomfret fillet could be considered and introduced as a valuable source of food meat for consumers.
