Fish is a valuable and easily accessible source of food, rich in proteins. Fishes are fanciful, fascinating wonders in nature. They are the masters of water, ubiquitous and enjoy wide ecological amplitude. They are endowed with the ability to produce light and toxic substances and exhibit physiological adaptation involving spectacular colour changes, which play important role in the defense and protection of many species as well as during sex act, namely excitement and courtship. The unique potential of physiological colour change has made them excellent experimental materials for investigation of a great variety of general biological problems. due to enormous growing population and the prevailing food scarcity in the country, the government is now taxing vigorous steps for the conservation and development of their vast fisheries resources. In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in studying melamine pigmentation of fishes in India and d aboard.
