Nutrient composition of dried marine small fish in Bangladesh and their potential to address hidden hunger

The dataset is relevant to the nutrient composition of fish powder intended for direct consumption, sourced from seven small fish species indigenous to the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh. Locally known as Chapila, Chewa, Faissa, Ichre, Loittya, Mola, and Olua, these fish were collected, dried to a moisture content consistent with local practices, pulverized, and analyzed for their proximate composition, mineral content, vitamin levels, heavy metal presence, and fatty acid profile.
