The proximate composition (crude protein, lipid and ash) and energy of fish species (Euthynnus affinis and Orcynopsis unicolor) from the Persian Gulf were compared. The lipid content of fresh O. unicolor  was found to be significantly higher than that in E. affinis (Pbited lower energy values (276.4 kcal kg-1). Both fish species are good sources of EPA and DHA. It can be concluded that freshwater mussels; E. affinis and O. unicolor are suitable as healthy food choice. For E. affinis and O. unicolor, the nutritional values were the highest after four and six months of storage respectively (293.4 and 376.58 kcal kg-1).
