Tagelus adansonii has served as man’s food around the world from time immemorial. However, the aquatic ecosystem in which they live is constantly polluted. Microbial and proximate compositions and energy value of T. adansonii were evaluated as indices for food safety and biomarker of pollution. Standard microbiological techniques and standard methods of AOAC were employed. Results showed that Bacillus substilis, Micrococcus sp, Proteus sp, Klebsiella sp, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerea, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Enterobacter sp, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, and Chromatium sp were the probable bacteria while Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp. Candida tropicalis, Fusarium sp. and Aspergillus flavus were the probable fungi isolated from the sample. Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Count (THBC), TVC, TCC, TSC and TFC in fresh sample were 2.01±0.14 x 105, 2.77±0.27x10, 2.79±0.81x10, 6.08±0.21x102, and 2.08±0.21x104 cfu g-1 respectively and concentrated mostly in the gut. The mean crude protein, moisture, carbohydrate, ash, lipid and crude fibre contents of the soft tissues were 60.92±2.38, 40.75±1.85, 26.58±2.91, 5.99±0.43, 5.56±0.51 and 4.13±0.10% respectively while the energy or caloric value was 397.65±11.97. Proper monitoring and surveillance should be adopted by Government to check pollution of the aquatic environments and proper processing should be adopted before consumption for good public health.

Alterations in blood variables of Sarotherodon melanotheron transmitted immediately from brackish water (salinity 13.71‰) to fresh water (salinity 0.12‰) were examined to evaluate the consequence of abrupt alterations in the environment on fish blood parameters. The results acquired revealed that significant reduction (p < 0.05) in mean values of Haemoglobin (Hb) from 7.37±1.22 to 4.30±0.82dl-1; Packed Cell Volume (PCV) 23.48±3.22 to 15.08±2.97%; Red Blood Cell (RBC) 5.99±0.72 to 3.31±0.77 Cells x106 ; Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) 31.68±3.66 to 28.48±2.03 pg; and Platelets (PLT) 195.44±16.77 to 138.99±9.05 103 uL-1. However, notable elevation was recorded in the values of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) from 4.89±0.16 to 10.58±1.48 mm/ hr; White Blood Cell (WBC) 27.03±2.96 to 33.09±3.72 x 109 L-1; Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) 39.33±3.07 to 45.88±7.03 fL Neutrophils (NEUT) 41.71±3.08 to 48.30±7.99%; Lymphocytes (LYMP) 54.60±3.99 to 46.36±9.87% and Monocytes (MON) 3.80±1.04 to 5.97±1.99%. These variations in the blood parameters were more perceptible in adult than juvenile fish. Results from this study consequently imply that direct transfer of fish to a region of lower salinity may have damaging effect on the physiology of S. melanotheron as observed in this study.

The effect of different combinations of botanical spices such as clove and nutmeg in different proportion on the antioxidants activities which include lipid peroxidation (LPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione peroxide (GPX) in juveniles and adults sizes of Clarias gariepinus was investigated using different combinations of clove (C),and nutmeg (C.N 0:0- Control 0% of Clove and Nutmeg; C.N 1:3- 25% Clove and 75% Nutmeg; C.N 3:1- 75% Clove and 25% Nutmeg; C.N 2:2- 50% Clove and 50% Nutmeg; C.4 - 100% Clove; N4- 100% ) in triplicates. The results from the study indicated that the anaesthetic caused a significant (p<0.05) alterations in the five antioxidants under investigation. The highest alterations in the studied antioxidants were observed in the fish exposed to C4 combination of the anaesthetics and the lowest in the control. The results from this work therefore suggest that the anaesthetics can alter antioxidants levels in the fish which was more noticeable in the fish exposed to C.N 3:1- 75% Clove and 25% Nutmeg; C.N 2:2- 50% Clove and 50% Nutmeg; C.4 - 100% Clove; N4- 100% . Hence fish farmers and scientists are advised to take caution when combining these plant extracts for use in aquaculture.

Hydrobiological survey of a ‘soft-water’ and ‘highly de-mineralized’ reservoir of Meghalaya state of northeast India is undertaken to analyze zooplankton diversity with reference to the spatio-temporal variations and influence of abiotic factors. The littoral and limnetic zooplankton assemblages of this subtropical reservoir without aquatic vegetation reveal total 36 species, and record lower abundance, quantitative dominance of Rotifera, sub-dominance of Cladocera and Copepoda and moderate species diversity. Keratella cochlearis, Bosmina longirostris, Polyarthra vulgaris, Mesocyclops leuckarti, Conochilus unicornis and Asplanchna priodonta influence abundance, species diversity, dominance and equitability of zooplankton. We report differential spatial influence of individual abiotic factors with the relatively more importance at the limnetic region, and the canonical correspondence analysis registers 72.5% and 78.8% cumulative influence of 10 abiotic factors on the littoral and limnetic assemblages, respectively. The spatial differences of various diversity aspects and the influence of abiotic factors suggest habitat heterogeneity amongst the two regions. This study is a useful contribution to zooplankton diversity of the subtropical environs, and soft and de-mineralized waters in particular. Our results mark a distinct contrast to the lowest richness and abundance of zooplankton noted from India vide the preliminary 1990-91 survey of this reservoir.

In May and October 2017, 12 stations were set up in the Central Bohai Sea for fishery resources investigation. The results show that there are many dominant species in this area, and the inshore fishery resources are higher than those in the open sea because of the abundant nutrients from land, the high density of zooplankton and the food of swimming animals. In order to effectively protect the fishery resources in the Central Bohai Sea, this paper puts forward some suggestions, such as strengthening the protection propaganda, scientific and reasonable fishing, and strengthening the management of marine environment.

Aquaculture in pond and floodplain was accelerated in Bangladesh in the 1990s as a means of better production and income which was backed by the donor agencies, NGOs, and the government. Currently, the commercial actors are involved in the aquaculture systems due to the availability of production technologies and inputs. This paper aims to explore how the commercialization and privatization of floodplain aquaculture become the cause of the sufferings of the natural resource-dependent people and biodiversity loss in the floodplains. Now, Influential people hold control of the common pool floodplains and restricted the access of the Small-Scale Fishers (SSF) to manage the aquaculture. Our findings suggest that the SSF, for whom the seasonal floodplains were an important source of livelihood, their livelihood has been destroyed and overall wellbeing have been negatively affected. Besides that, lending enough evidence to the increased inequality, a new group of poor has emerged. Because instead of ensuring the welfare of SSF, Bangladesh government has leased the floodplain lands to the powerful rich people. In addition to growing inequalities, natural resource degradation has welcomed social vulnerabilities. However, no development initiative will ever be sustainable and effective if the existing socio-ecological setting is not considered. Bangladesh government should take robust attempts to revisit fisheries policies to ensure livelihood resilience of fisheries resource-dependent community by managing the access rights of the common pool resources.

The ichthyofaunal diversity is an excellent bio indicator of the status and health of aquatic ecosystems. The present study elucidates the ichthyofaunal diversity of Sasihithlu estuary in the west coast of Karnataka, India. The study was conducted from January 2019 to January 2020. Field explorations in estuary were undertaken on a monthly basis. A detailed analysis of piscine diversity revealed a total of 63 species of fresh water, estuary and marine fish belonging to 13 orders and 37 families. Perciformes was found to be a predominant order with 20 families and 31 species. Of the recorded species, one is Vulnerable and two are Near Threatened species. The greater diversity of fish was recorded during monsoon and the lesser diversity was recorded during winter.
