Channastraita is a reputed medicinal fresh water fish among the south Asian regions and used to treat wounds, alleviate pain, boosts energy and endowed with remarkable anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, platelet aggregation, as well as mild antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The present work deals with the antimicrobial activity and anti-fungal activity of Channastraita fish oil. Their quality was assessed by analysing quality indexes including peroxides, acid, iodine, anisidine and thiobarbituric acid values. Chemical analysis was established by gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detector. Antibacterial activity was evaluated by disc diffussion method. Fish oil was extracted from Channastraita waste and purified, the fatty acids were identified in fish oil. The extracted Channastraita oil showed good antimicrobial and anti fungal activity.
