Fish were captured in the year 2020, during the spring season (march-may), between km 169 of the river (Brăila) and km 197 of the Danube River (Gropeni). Fish samples were analyzed for water, protein, fat, moisture and ash, at the Nutrition Laboratory of Faculty of Food Science, University Dunărea de Jos, from Galați. From the obtained results we can conclude that the analyzed fish meat of some species from the Danube River represents a valuable source the consumers healthy.
