Java sparrow (Periophtalmodon schlosseri) often spends its time outside the water and uses mangrove forests as its habitat. The abundance of Java sparrow (Periophtalmodon schlosseri) in East Flores Regency allows for in-depth research on the nutritional content of Java sparrow. This study aims to determine the nutritional content of Java sparrow in Ratulodong Village. This research method uses a Mixed Research approach with quantitative and qualitative data. The study was conducted in July–August 2024. Samples of fresh Java sparrow (300g) were collected from the mangrove area of ​​Ratulodong Village.
