The proximate composition and mineral contents of 18 subtropical fish species caught off the coast of Jeju Island, Korea were determined. The mean moisture content was highest (78.0%) in the eight species of lean fish, lowest (72.6%) in the four species of medium-fat fish, and intermediate (75.4%) in the six species of low-fat fish. The lipid content was in the order of medium-fat fish > low-fat fish > lean fish. The protein content ranged from 17.7% to 18.9%. The mean macro-mineral contents in the 18 species were 290.2 mg/100 g edible portion K, 146.6 mg P, 113.5 mg Na, 67.2 mg Ca and 38.3 mg Mg. The mean value of micro-mineral contents were 2.1 mg Fe, 1.7 mg Cu and 1.5 mg Zn. These results suggest that subtropical fish from Jeju Island are good sources of protein, lipid and minerals.
