Abstract :

In the present investigation, the exoskeleton from Calapa philarigus was collected and processed through Deproteinization, Deacetyalization and Demineralization methods were used for the preparation of chitosan. The yield of chitosan in C.philarigus was 38.23%. The Fat Binding Capacity of the shells was 619±20% respectively. During the experimental period, Cyprinus carpio haematopterus were fed with chitosan (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1%). The present study shows increase in the RBC Haemolytic activity of chitosan in fish was (0.007±0.000). The Antibacterial activity was higher in (1%) inhibited A.hydrophila (72.61±2.85). The SDS–PAGE of protein was higher in 1%. The biochemical composition protein (54.03±1.38), carbohydrate (18.04±0.99), lipid (9.28±0.33). Thus present study concluded that chitosan supplementation diet was modulated the immune defense, disease resistance against the bacterial diseases.
