Popis: Immunological and biochemical properties of skin mucus of different fish species may have mutual beneficial effects on health management when the fishes are farmed together in same system. Present experiment was conducted to investigate and compare the immunological and biochemical properties of epidermal mucus of three brackishwater fishes, namely Lates calcarifer, Chanos chanos and Mugil cephalus. Mucus was collected from the dorso-lateral surface of six individual fish of each species and used for analysis of immunological properties and biochemical composition. Innate immune parameters such as lysozyme, haemolytic, phagocytic activities and lectin were significantly (p
