Abstract:
In this study, the contents of steroid hormones and micro-substances in 5 salt-water fishes including Sea-horse, White hering, Garrupa, Selachian and Mackerel were studied. The result demonstrated that: the contents of steroid hormones in 5 mentioned fishes were relatively higher than other salt-water creatures. The study also explored the availability as well as contents of some necessary micro-substances in these salt-water fishes (K, Ca, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, Se). Although, the ability of using the active elements in the 5 salt-water fishes as medicines to enhance health and prevent diseases is very potential, it needs further studies
