In the medicinal plants of containing diverse chemical active substances of several biological properties. So, the aim of the current investigation was to assess evaluate the physiological parametrs effect of Aegle marmoles. A. marmoles is an active compound and it contains protein, amino acids, and enzymes. Different concentrations (25, 50, 75mg/g of food) of extract of  Aegle marmoles fruit extract were fed to Catla catla, for 35 days. Fish pathogen, Aeromonas hydrophila with 0.1ml of 10 6CFU/ml was injected intraperitonialy. The cumulative percentage mortality, oxygen consumption and opercular movement were calculated and observed. After the treatment, cumulative percentage mortality, increased opercular movement and oxygen consumption were observed. Thus A. marmoles plant and fruit acts as an immunostimulant to enhance the activity of fish.
