Rohu is the natural inhabitant of freshwater sections of the rivers. Rohu
thrives well in all fresh waters below an altitude of approximately 549 m.
Rohu is a bottom feeder and prefers to feed on plant matter.

Catla is a river fish abundant in India. Catla’s higher growth rate and
compatibility with other major carps, specific surface feeding habit, and
consumer preference have increased its popularity in carp polyculture
systems among the fish farmers in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos,
Pakistan and Thailand.

Scales of Indian major carp Catla and Rohu are potential source of type I
collagens. Collagen scaffolds derived from these fresh water fish are
highly biocompatible in nature.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in vertebrates. Collagen is widely
used for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Research shows that
collagen isolated from scales of Labeo rohita (Rohu) and Catla catla
(Catla) is close temperature to mammalian collagen, which significantly
boosts its applicability.

Collagen is a very versatile ingredient used in many whole body treatments,
tissue engineering, wound dressing, beauty and health applications.

Scales of Indian carp fish Labeo rohita and Labeo catla are a proven source
for fish collagen.
