The present study was carried out to identify superior clones of Lannea coromandelica across its natural distribution in Tamil Nadu for collection of clones for afforestation or tree improvement purpose. The clonal materials were propagated under nursery conditions and variations in growth parameters viz., shoot length, root length, collar diameter, total dry matter production, root/shoot ratio, sturdiness quotient, volume index and quality index were studied. The clones collected from Pattukottai (FCRI LC 9), Thanjavur (FCRI LC 18) and Nagappattinam (FCRI LC 25) region were superior in all traits compared to clones studied from other regions. These clones can be screened for tree improvement and for the assessment of industrial utilizations of the species

Pod grading and biometric study in Tamarind was carried out in five agro-climatic zones (Southern zone, Western zone, Cauvery delta zone, North-East zone and North-West zone) of Tamil Nadu for the identification of the best seed source for the production of tamarind pulp. The tamarind fruits were collected randomly from different agro-climatic zones and graded into one-seeded pods, two-seeded pods, three-seeded pods, four-seeded pods, five-seeded pods and more than five-seeded pods. In pod grading, maximum graded pods were observed in the trees of the North-Western zone (one-seeded pods-23 Nos., more than five-seeded pods-28 Nos.) and North-Eastern zone (two-seeded pods-22 Nos., three-seeded pods-24 Nos., five-seeded pods-14 Nos.) of Tamil Nadu. The pod biometric characters viz., pod length, pod width and pod shell thickness were studied for fruits collected from different agro-climatic zones. North-Western zone recorded highest pod biometric values in one-seeded pods, three-seeded pods and more than five-seeded pods. The trees of the Cauvery delta zone recorded maximum pod biometric values in two-seeded pods. Maximum pod biometric values were also documented in four-seeded pods and five-seeded pods in the Western zone. The present study revealed North-Western zone of Tamil Nadu as the best source for maximum tamarind pulp production as the trees in the region recorded maximum pod grading and biometric values

The common trash fish landings in Cochin harbours were estimated and the value addition of underutilized trash fish was attempted and tested for the sensory quality of the value added product. Lesser Sardines and Silver Bellies were found to be the major trash fishes in Cochin harbours. Triacanthus biaculeatus (Common name: Silver Bellies; Vernacular name: Mullan), has been caught frequently in trawl catches. Commonly, Mullan was not utilized due to its bony nature and coarse skin. Therefore, value added product (cutlets) was developed using minced trash fish by combining T. biaculeatus (35.2% yield) with Tuna to enhance the sensory properties. Best results were obtained in cutlets prepared with 25% trash fish and 75% Tuna. However, 50% trash fish with 50% Tuna combination was more economically viable. Economic value and sensory properties of low value trash fishes like Triacanthus biaculeatus can be improved by combining it with a high value fish

The Gulf of Mannar Biosphere Reserve (GoMBR) considered to be one of the world's richest marine biological resources, has 21 islands with fringing coral reefs that support diverse flora and fauna, including benthic foraminifera. One such island, Upputhanni Theevu (UTT) was, therefore, chosen for the present study. From the foraminifera separated from 18 surface sediment samples collected at depths varying between 1.0 m and 12.1 m, 109 benthic foraminiferal species belonging to 46 genera were identified. The foraminiferal assemblage was dominated by Miliolids and Rotaliids. Lagenids were poorly represented. In general, living populations constituted P. calcar > C. calcar > P. nipponica > T. tricarinata > S. communis > H. depressa > S. arietina. In the subsequent February collection, it was C. calcar > P. calcar > C. spengleri > P. nipponica > T. tricarinata > S. communis > H. depressa = S. arietina
马纳尔湾生物圈保护区(GoMBR)被认为是世界上最丰富的海洋生物资源之一,它有21个岛屿,周围有珊瑚礁,支持着包括底栖有孔虫在内的多种动植物。因此,Upputhanni Theevu (UTT)岛就被选为本研究的对象。从深度在1.0 ~ 12.1 m之间的18个表层沉积物样品中分离出有孔虫,鉴定出底栖有孔虫109种,隶属于46属。有孔虫组合以千虫和轮虫为主。Lagenids的代表性很差。总体上,活居群的分布顺序为:calcar P. calcar > P. nipponica > T. tricarinata > S. communis > H. depressa > S. arietina。在2月以后的采集中,依次为:小叶姜>小叶姜>细花姜>日本姜>三毛藤>大叶姜>大叶姜>大叶姜=大叶姜
