Abstract: In order to make the best use of resource, protein and amino acids content in muscles, stomach, intestine and reproductive gland of mature Tachypleus tridentatus were determined with Kieldahl method and RT-HPLC method. The results show that protein content in muscle, stomach, intestine and reproductive gland are 66.79%, 62.07%, 58.28% and 61.94% respectively; amino acid composition mode differs from tissue. The total content of essential amino acids in muscle, stomach, intestine and reproductive gland of Tachypleus tridentatus are 50.32%, 43.90%, 47.37% and 55.95% of total amino acids in the correspoding tissue.

Key words: Tachypleus tridentatus, protein, amino acid
