Abstract: Proximate composition of two freshwater fish species (Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus), caught from River Rima were examined. The results revealed variation in nutrient composition, crude protein content ranged from 17.95 to 35.44% in flesh, bones and heads.  arias gariepinus has the highest moisture content of 22.5% than Oreochromis niloticus with 9.50% in flesh parts. Clarias gariepinus has the highest crude protein of 35.44%. The study provides valuable information of Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus status on their proximate composition.
