Abstract
The proximate composition was analyzed in mantis shrimp from by-catches of Mumbai coast of India. Totally 4 species (Oratosquilla oratoria, Miyakella nepa, Harpiosquilla harpax and Cloridopsis scorpio) of mantis shrimp had collected from selected landing centres. Standard Protocol of AOAC (Association of analytical communities) was used for estimation of proximate composition from the collected Squilla samples for each species. The moisture, Crude protein, Crude Lipid, and Minerals were found highest in Harpiosquilla harpax among the collected species.
