Abstract:

Fish one of the diverse group of animals, that are highly specialized for their aquatic existence. Being fish are in aquatic intimate contact with such an environment that contains very high concentrations of bacteria and viruses. The immune system is composed of numerous organs and cells that act together in a dynamic network in the defense against infection, disease and foreign substances.

Keywords:

Antibacterial activity, Fish mucus, Clarias batrachus.
