Effect of dietary Aqua fix on qualitative protein profile in skeletal muscles of Labeorohita

ABSTRACT

The effect of Aqua Fix (immunomodulator) on the qualitative protein index of skeletal muscles of Labeorohita was investigated.  Test fish (twenty five fish of 6 months old, 12-15 g.wt; 25 fish of 9 months old, 47-50 g.wt.) were fed with Aqua Fix @ 50 mg / 100 g of feed for 4 days (group A, B).  Another 2 groups (a, b) (25 nos. in each group) of fish of same age and weight were fed with normal diet and kept as control for comparison. Significant alterations were found in the molecular weight of skeletal muscle protein in the test and control fish through SDS-PAGE analysis on day 1, 4, 7, 15 and 30 of experiment.  Qualitative analysis depicted varied number of low and high molecular weight protein bands in the skeletal muscles of L. rohita of experimental and controls.

Key words:Dietary Aqua Fix, Skeletal muscles, Protein, L. rohita
