Chemical compositions of the dorsal muscle of hybrids, yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata _??_ × goldstriped amberjack S. aureovittata _??_ (termed as YG) and purplish amberjack S.dumerili_??_ × goldstriped amberjack _??_(termed as PG) were compared with each parents fish species. The lipid content of YG was remarkably higher than that of goldstriped amberjack. In collagen content concerning texture, though YG was lower than goldstriped amberjack, it was significantly higher than yellowtail. Crude protein, total extractive nitrogen and collagen content of PG showed the intermediate value of the parents fish species.
