ABSTRACT
Fishes are cold blooded aquatic vertebrates and they are low fat and high-quality source of proteins, lipids and micronutrients which is a very essential nutrient for the health. In addition to proteins, fish is filled with other nutrients like omega-3-fatty acids, vitamins D, minerals and so consumption of fish provides a wide range of nutrients.The difference in nutrient content in fish depends not only on the species but also depend on the quality of feeds and habitats.The study was conducted to evaluate the protein concentration in sera of fish, which are commercially important fish speciesChanna punctatus, Labeo rohita and Wallago attu. The protein concentrations have estimated in Channa =2.580µg/µl, Labeo=2.813µg/µl, andWallago=5.463µg/µl. After gel electrophoresis of sera were observed to lack protein ranging from 40 – 30kDa of Labeo and Wallago while five major bands was shown between 43kDa to 26kDa of Channa.
