ABSTRACT Received: Revised: Accepted: April 12, 2010 June 29, 30, Key words: Chitin-chitosan yield CPUE Freshwater crab Population size Potamon potamios In this study, freshwater ( , Olivier 1804), economically unevaluated, was used to obtain chitin-chitosan. extracted with standardized modified chemical method. Chitosan demineralization, deproteinization, decoloration (chitin) and deacetylation (chitosan). Grinded shell obtained as 60% after boiling, drying grinding processes. of determined 4.65% from grinded demineralization (yield is 34.32%), deproteinization 7.25%), 6.83%) Moreover, stock estimated catch per unit effort (CPUE) data in Egirdir Lake for calculation quantity chitosan. between 12.85±11.88 23.86±25.39 tones an appropriate crustacean ©2010 PVJ.
