Development of antimicrobial materials using nano approach and several industries like aquaculture greatly depend on novel biogenic materials. Biogenic techniques to develop nanomaterials with potent activity have been explored recently. The present study demonstrates the green synthesis AgNPs butter fruit (Persea americana) pulp extract its antibacterial efficacy against fish pathogen Providencia vermicola Rohu fish. were prepared characterized various spectroscopic microscopic techniques. infrared analysis identified that biological molecules involved in stabilization AgNPs. Transmission electron revealed particles size ranged from 20 50 nm. Further, nanoparticles (5 µg) encapsulated feed given P. infected survival rate observed was 72 % experimental group as compared control group. Total plate count histopathological results indicated treated groups showed significant reduction bacterial population restore tissues normal range. suggest synthesized (AgNPs) good efficiency reducing infection caused by
