The present study was carried out to find out the distribution energy pattern in the body parts of Etroplus suratensis (bloch). The study indicated that the mean energy density of the edible portion of immature fish was kJ/g dry weight compared kJ/g and kJ/g of adult female and male respectively. Similarly the energy density of inedible portion of immature fish was kJ/g while that of adult female and male were kJ/g and kJ/gdry weight respectively.
