Abstract: In the present investigation, an inhibition of bacterial growth noticed in pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, and non-pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli. The data on diameter (mm) of zone of inhibition of the crude extracts and isolated compounds from the whole body, liver, skin and remaining body tissues of Tetraodon fluviatilis on each strain of bacteria showed the trends in degree of zone of inhibition was also observed in the  crude extracts and isolated compounds. It showed that the bacteria Escherichia coli > Staphylococcus aureus > Streptococcus pyogenes > Psuedomonas aeruginosa > Klebsiella pneumoniae > Salmonella typhi. The degree of zone of inhibition was observed in isolated compounds can also be put as II > III >I> IV. The range of inhibitory zone in bacterial cultures of isolated compounds observed from 6 mm (minimum) to 20 mm (maximum).  Therefore, the biopotential activity of fish Tetraodon fluviatilis (fugu fish) found in the crude extract as well as in isolated compounds. The results of present investigation clearly confirm the antibacterial activity of the crude extract and isolated compounds from tissues of the fish Tetraodon fluviatilis (fugu fish) confirmed.
