Abstract: Nutritional components in the muscle of Semilabeo notabilis （wet weight of 215.24g ± 80.41 g） were tested and analysed with routine methods. Samples of 12 wild individuals were collected from Dabang river in Guizhou Province in November of 2008. The fish had the dressed rate of （75.64 ± 4.16）%. There were （76.31 ±0.71 ） % of moisture, （ 17.06±0.84） % of crude protein, （ 1.51 ~ 0.084） % of crude fat and （ 1.72 ~ 0.25 ） % of crude ash in the muscles. In dry matter, the total content of 17 amino acids was found （82.45 ± 0.90）%, including （34.09 ± 0.39） % of essential amino acids, 41.35 % in total amino acids, and （31.26 ± 0.37） % of four delicious amino acids comprising of 37.92% in the total amino acids. The essential amino acid index （EAAI） was 72.79, and the contents of EPA and DHA in fatty acids were （4.21±0.27） % and （3.64±0.22） %, indicating that Semilabeo notabilis is one of the freshwater fishes with good edibility and nutritive value.
