The study deals with the comparative mineral analysis of five different species of sea squid - Loligo duvauceli Dosidicus gigas, sepiella inermis, Sepia pharaonis and Sepia prashadi. Flame photometric analysis revealed that squid species have levels of Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K) in the range of 106.17 - 186.07 mg/100g, 70.48-108 mg/100 g respectively. Atomic absorption analysis showed Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Zinc (Zn) and Copper (Cu) in the range of 98.90 - 102.3 mg/100 g 27.73 - 31.04 mg/100 g, 1.9 - 4.22 mg/100 g and 0.27 - 0.38 mg/100 g respectively. ?he levels ed Iron (Fe) and Phosphorus (P) varied between 2.58 - 3.63 mg/100 g and 240.91 - 250.03 mg/100 g respectively. Data illustrated that sea squid may be considered as an excellent source of minerals.
