This waste can be utilized as an economic source of chitin and its derivative chitosan. The chitin and chitosan are considered versatile and promising biomaterial. Keeping the significance of chitin and chitosan, the present investigation has taken up to evaluate the yield percentage and quality parameters between the fresh water prawn Macrobrachium rosenberfii and tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon.
