The nutritional effects of marine food have increased far and wide due to the beneficial effects of consuming marine food, fats and oils. In general, the proximate composition is well known as a proportion composition of basic elements such as protein, lipids, carbohydrate, minerals and water. The puffer fish Lagocephalus lunaris and Lagocephalus inermis were collected at Mudasal odai fish landing centre and the skin and visceral organs like gonads and intestines were removed the edible portion only took for the analysis. Species of the fish sample was oven-dried in an electric oven at between 70 -80 °C until the samples had constant weight. The protein, carbohydrate, fat, ash and moisture content of green -rough-back puffer fish and smooth-backed blow fish were investigated. L. lunaris and L. inermis were has 9.22 %, 8.92 %, 1.96 %, 1.87 %, 11.25 %, 11.98 %, 80.32 %, 86.05 %, 0.96 %, 1.27 % respectively. Totally seven saturated fatty acids; ten Mono unsaturated fatty acids and two poly unsaturated fatty acids were found as the major components on the investigated puffer fish. Polyunsaturated fatty acid like n-3 has 31.17 %, 31.19 and n-6 7.26 %, 7.29 % of PUSFA found as the dominant composition on puffer fish. This study revealed that these species are having high saturated fatty acid and protein content and able to compete with more commercially utilize species in terms of nutritional value, and they can definitely also compete when it comes to taste. It can act as a good source of nutritional and economic value when it is carefully handled and properly cooked.

ABSTRACT. The Vibrio is the most common genera with crustaceans often causing various diseases in Aquaculture and significant economic losses. Many Vibrio species are pathogenic to human and have been implicated in food borne diseases. The present study was carried out, the isolation and identification of pathogenic bacterial flora were isolated from infected in hepatopancreas of vannamei. The SPDS Oceanic farm, RS Aqua farm of and Valli vilas Aqua farm Vellar estuary, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, during the period of (September 2013 to November 2013). The collected samples were plated on TCBS-(Thiosulfate-Citrate-Bile salt-Sucrose) agar medium. The present study, totally 253 green colonies were isolated from TCBS agar plates and among these, 175colonies were identified by using the biochemical tests showed the V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, V. vulnificus, V. damsela and P. shigelloides. The maximum species was recorded in V. parahaemolyticus (83.4 %) and minimum was observed in V. mimicus (1.7 %).

Plant mediated synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an increasing commercial demand due to the wide applicability in various areas such as electronics, catalysis, chemistry, energy, cosmetics and medicine. This is greatly due to their special features, which include unusual optical and electronic properties, high stability and biological compatibility, controllable morphology and size dispersion, and easy surface functionalization. In the present investigation, synthesis of gold nanoparticle is done by using leaf extracts of Evolvulus alsinoides. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were characterized by using UV visible absorption spectra. Their morphology, elemental composition and crystalline phase were determined by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and FT-IR analysis was used to confirm the presence of gold nanoparticles in the extracts. The plant derived gold nanoparticles were also showing more inhibition activity in both bacterial and fungus strains. In bacteria, gram negative strains are highly affected by the test samples than gram positive. In fungal strains, the highest effect was noticed in Trichophyton rubrum while less effect was observed in Candida albicans.

The marine fish are extraordinarily nourishing food and are affluently accessible fish meat source. Fresh examined sample of grouper fish was collected from Mudasal odai fish landing center. The protein, carbohydrate, lipid, ash and moisture contents of Epinephelus coioides were found to be 19.07 mg, 4.03, 2.61, 77.38 mg and 1.21 mg/g respectively. The potassium and phosphorus are the predominant elements other nine components are present in considerable quantities in the total of 11 minerals. Palmitic acid, Oleic acid and Stearic acid were observed to be the major elements of total presented 15 fatty acids. In this current study we have concluded the grouper fish having rich source of protein and good fatty acids and it will facilitate to enhance the nutrition level on poor folks
