Abstract :
In this experiment, Gammaruses (Pontogammarus maeoticus) which were collected from southern coast of the Caspian Sea in Anzali area firstly, were dried through 4 different drying methods in 4 isolated groups which were consisted of: hot air current, indirect sunshine, direct sunshine, and hot surface. Then, the average amount of total protein and lipid in dried Gammarus was measured in the laboratory. The results of the Analayz-Varians among the groups showed significant differences in the average amount of lipid (P<0.01) and protein (P<0.05). In addition, by comparing these factors by the Duncan test, the greatest amount of protein in hot surface method (47.57%) and the lowest amount of protein in hot current method (45.98%) were absorved. Also, the highest amount of lipid was observed in hot surface method (6.06%) and the lowest amount (3.39%) was found in sunshine indirect method.
