This study has been conducted in four Districts (i.e., Nadia, North 24-Parganas, Hooghly and Burdwan) of the Gangetic plain of West Bengal, India. The results of the present study indicate that these Districts are badly infested by various types of rodents. Among them wild Indian house rat ( Rattus rattus ) is quite preponderant followed by field mice ( Mus musculus ), Norway rat ( Rattus norvegicus ) and Indian mole rat ( Bandicota sp ). Percentage of the female individual of these species is higher than the male individual. They cause severe types of damages in the fields and houses. In the District Nadia, Hooghly, North 24-Parganas and Burdwan, paddy and potato were damaged and estimated during the study period. Other crops and vegetables such as wheat, gourd, cauliflower, cabbage and jute were also damaged by the rodents. Household properties e.g., books, clothes, utensils and electronic goods were also destroyed by the rats. Damages were maximum in the mud built houses. They build their nest and burrows in the upland, trees and periphery of the field but extensive damages were noticed in the centre of the field. Rodents breed throughout the year but peak breeding seasons are August to October and late winter season and average litter size is about 6 to 8. The present study also points out the migratory behavior, hoarding materials in the burrows, nature of damages in relation to field conditions. For the control operation of the rodents and especially the rats, it is essential to have a clear-cut idea about the species present in the area, their habit and habitat, mode of burrowing, their movements, preference of food and a detailed life history of predominant rodent species. These aspects have been thoroughly studied in the present investigation. Key words: Gangetic plain, West Bengal, rodents, Rattus rattus, paddy, burrow. Â Â doi:10.3329/ujzru.v27i0.1961 Univ. j. zool.

这项研究是在印度西孟加拉邦恒河平原的四个地区(即Nadia、North 24-Parganas、Hooghly和Burdwan)进行的。本研究的结果表明，这些地区的各种啮齿动物出没严重。其中以野生印度家鼠(Rattus Rattus)为优势，其次为田鼠(Mus musculus)、挪威鼠(Rattus norvegicus)和印度鼹鼠(Bandicota sp)。雌虫所占比例高于雄虫。它们对田地和房屋造成了严重的破坏。在Nadia区、Hooghly区、North 24-Parganas区和Burdwan区，水稻和马铃薯受到了破坏，并在研究期间进行了估计。其他作物和蔬菜，如小麦、葫芦、花椰菜、卷心菜和黄麻也受到啮齿动物的损害。家庭财产，如书籍、衣服、器具和电子产品也被老鼠破坏。泥造房屋受到的破坏最大。它们在高地、树木和田地的外围筑巢和挖洞，但在田地的中心发现了广泛的破坏。鼠类全年繁殖，繁殖高峰期为8至10月及冬末，平均产仔数约为6至8窝。本研究还指出了它们的迁移行为、在洞穴中囤积物质、损害性质与野外条件的关系。对啮齿动物，特别是大鼠的防治工作，必须清楚地了解该地区的啮齿动物种类、习性和栖息地、穴居方式、活动方式、食物偏好以及优势啮齿动物种类的详细生活史。本研究对这些方面进行了深入的研究。关键词:恒河平原;西孟加拉邦;鼠类;Â Â doi:10.3329/ujzru.v27i0.1961 Univ. j. zool。Rajshahi university .

The research work was conducted to find out the seasonal prevalence of ectoparasites of carp fingerlings. Seven species of parasites viz. Trichodina domerguei , Trichodina reticulata , Chilodonella cyprini , Myxobolus koi , Dactylogyroides tripathi , Dactylogyrus extensus and Dactylogyrus catlarius were recovered from 640 fingerlings of Silver carp ( Hypophthalmicthys molitrix ), Bighead carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ), Common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ), Thai punti ( Puntius gonionotus ), Catla ( Catla catla ), Rui ( Labeo rohita ) and Mrigal ( Cirrhina mrigala ) from different nursery ponds of Bogra district during June 2005 to May 2006. The highest prevalence (95%) was in Trichodina domerguei and lowest (10%) in Dactylogyrus catlarius during winter season. Average prevalence of protozoan and monogenean parasite was 37.16 in rainy season, 40.08 in winter season and 30.25 in summer season. Winter is the most disease occurring season of the year.

The length-weight relationship is very important for proper exploitation and management of the population of fish species. To obtain the relationship between total length and other body weight are also very much essential for stabilizing the taxonomic characters of the species. Among the freshwater fishes, length-weight relationship of different fishes has been done by many researchers, viz., Tilapia mosambica (Dhoa & Dewan, 1967), Puntius stigma (Islam & Hossain, 1991-92), Alia coila (Alam et al., 1994), Chanda nama and Chanda ranga (Iqbal et al., 199596), Botia lohachata (Mortuza & Mokarrama 2000), Rhinomugil corsula (Mortuza & Tawfeequa, 2006).

Zooplankton constitute important food item of many omnivorous and carnivorous fishes. The study was conducted with an aim to study the zooplankton production including physico-chemical parameters with an emphasis to the existing management practices taken by the operators. The study was carried out in a culture and a non-culture pond of Rajshahi University campus was carried out from September, 2004 to February, 2005. Monthly fluctuations of some physico-chemical parameters were noted. The ponds showed alkaline in nature with moderate bicarbonate alkalinity. Diurnal change of water temperature, free CO 2 and dissolved Oxygen were also studied. Four groups of zooplankton were identified, of which copepods (1260 units/l and 973.33 units/l in pond-1 and pond-2 respectively) were most dominant. A total of 9 genera of zooplankton were identified of which Cyclops (68.25% and 60.28% of total copepods) was most abundant in both ponds. Total zooplankton showed positive correlation with pH, carbonate alkalinity (CO 3 ) and bicarbonate alkalinity (HCO 3 ) in both ponds and DO, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in pond-1. Present findings indicated that the culture pond showed better result than that of the non-culture pond regarding zooplankton production.

Seasonal dynamics of plankton, water temperature, conductivity, pH, total alkalinity, phosphatephosphorus and nitrate-nitrogen of Burulia beel were measured. These values were within the acceptable ranges. In the present study, water temperature, pH, Nitrate-nitrogen, Phosphate-phosphorus were found to range from 13.50 to 30.50°C, 6.21 to 7.33, 1.36 to 2.85 mg/l and 0.07 to 0.71 mg/l, respectively. The range of total plankton was from 12.67A—10 5 to 80.83A—10 5 cells/l with mean value 29.71±19.98A—10 5 cells/l. A total of 47 genera of plankton was recorded belonging to Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Dinophyceae, Crustacea and Rotifera. Among phytoplanktonic Chlorophyceae was the most dominant group contributing 46% of the total. Cyanophyceae was the least dominant group. From zooplankton, Crustacea was the most dominant group contributing 71% of the total zooplankton. The greatest abundance of phytoplankton was recorded in September to November with an average number 70.67A—10 5 cells/l and the minimum in April with an average number 38.33A—10 5 cells/l. The abundance of zooplankton showed two peaks, one in the months of August-October and another in the months of April-June. Phytoplankton and zooplankton have a direct relationship with each other.

Derris indica is belonging to family Fabaceae, inhabitants of India, Srilanka, Malaysia, North Australia and Polynesia, occurs in the tidal forests, river and canal banks, along the water edge in all districts in Bangladesh. It is a medicinal plant. The dried flowers are used in decoction to quench thirst in diabetes. Extracts of the leaves were active against Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus (Anon, 1969). The juice of the leaves is prescribed in flatulence dyspepsia, diarrhoea and cough. Preparation of plant materials for extraction: The fresh leaves, fruit shell, root bark, root wood, seeds, stem bark, and stem wood of D. indica were collected from Rajshahi University Campus.

Zooplankton populations of Sona Dighi were remarkable. In all 31 genera and 45 species represented by five major groups have been reported from Sona Dighi, Rajshahi based on a year investigation. The recorded groups were as follows as Protozoa (5 genera, 4 species), Rotifera (7 genera, 11 species), Cladocera (6 genera, 8 species), Ostracoda (4 genera, 6 species) and Copepoda (9 genera, 15 species).Physical chemical characteristics and zooplankton diversity of the reservoir indicates its eutrophic nature.
