Abstract
Macro mineral contents of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus were determined in four prawns: Procambis clarkii, Palaenon sp. Macrobrachim vollen hovenii and Penaeus notalis from the coastal water of Ondo State, Nigeria using standard methods of analysis. The mineral levels ranged as follows (mgL-1): Mg 330-525, Na 165-189, K 176-200, Ca 534-823 and P 210-315. Low variabilities were recorded for all the mineral ratios. There was evidence of mineral bioconcentrations in all the samples. All the prawn samples were good sources of dietary mineral.
