Abstract: The monomers of Protein are amino acids which are important biomolecules that regulate key metabolic pathways and serve as precursors for synthesis of biologically important substances. Fish is an important dietary source of animal proteins. The objective of this investigation was to determine the analysis of amino acid content in Oreochromis niloticus from four rivers in Bayelsa state. The amino acid composition was determined by Association of analytical chemist (AOAC) method and analyzed by Gas chromatography. Results have shown several differences in essential and non-essential amino acids in four fishes.
