	- High nutritional values were found in Labeo rohita and Barbonymus gonionotus fishes.
 
	- Lipid content was decreased after freezing the fish due to oxidation of lipid.
 
	- Carcinogenic risks were observed due to presence of lead in the fish sample.

	- The most susceptibility and resistance of Escherichia coli to antibiotics were related to chloramphenicol and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, respectively. 
 
	- Six out of 21 E. coli isolates were Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli.
 
	- Four out of six ESBL-producing E. coli isolates included blaTEM gene, while blaSHV gene was not found.
