Juniper Publishers - Journal of Oceanography Abstract The current study was aimed to establish the nutritional status of Indomysis nybini from three stations in Basrah city, Iraq. The specimens of I. nybini were collected during the first months from 2016. The study concentrated on the nutritional status of I. nybini dry matter basis.The average values of the moisture, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and ash were recorded for specimens I. nybini three stations. The results of proximate composition shows that the percentage of protein in specimens of the station (1) was higher (45.04%) than that of station (2) and (3) were reported (41.32, 39.78 %), respectively. Likewise the carbohydrate content in specimens of St. (1) was higher (9.34%) than the (St. 2) and (St. 3) (7.56,6.67%), respectively. The highest amount of lipid was found specimens of (St. 3), the value being9.8% where as in the higher level of moisture content was noticed in 87.81% in specimens of (St. 1). While th
