As feed involves about 60% input cost towards the production of ish and disease affecting the pro itability of the culturing system. In order to work on these important aspects, a common approach is needed to solve both these problems which in turn improve ish health and growth to increase ish production. Reducing the dependency of aquaculture on ishmeal and other costly ish feed ingredients is key to sustainable development for the aquaculture industry. One of the major bottlenecks in the expansion of cold-water ish culture is the availability of quality ish feed at low cost. Recognizing the importance of proper feeding in successful ish production, the present review paper is aimed at the formulation of quality feed using locally-available by-products, insect meal and other plant and animal-based feed ingredients making the feed cost-effective as well as environmentally friendly. The production of quality protein will create economic development among the poor sections of society and employment generation for the uneducated/educated, skilled or unskilled sections of society.

New and greater opportunities will open up to reinforce our primary institutional mission-that of caring for the health needs of the community we serve, which include caring for the environment. Developing and implementing effective programs to reduce, recycle and minimize the toxicity of hospital generated wastes (even wastes generated in the care and treatment of patients can be reduced) is one of the most significant environmental challenges the health care industry faces. Hospitals generate one of the most diverse and difficult to manage waste. The amount of medical waste produced by hospitals may vary due to a number of factors, including the hospital type and size, occupancy rate, in-and outpatient ratio, geographic location, state and local waste handling regulations, and hospital waste disposal policies.

Present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the water quality status of Manasbal Lake located at a distance of 30 km north from Srinagar. The lake was investigated for a period of 11 months from December 2019 to November 2020 and a total of 10 Physico-chemical parameters were analyzed at six different sites at monthly intervals by following standard methods. Among the various parameters recorded the Air temperature ranged from 2.7°-31 °C and Water temperature 3-29.7 °C, Depth 0.9-11.5m, Dissolved oxygen 6-11.2mg/l, pH7-9.2; Chloride 16-34.9mg/l, Free carbon dioxide0-18mg/l, Ammonical nitrogen 33.1-108 μg/l, Nitrate Nitrogen 190-353.2 μg/l and Total Phosphorous ranged from 131-288.1μg/l. The investigation revealed that almost all the above parameters show that the pollution load is increasing due to anthropogenic pressure untreated sewage and solid garbage from residential areas, fertilizers containing Nitrates and Phosphates which had resulted in the eutrophic condition of the lake. So immediate remedial measures should be taken for its protection from further depletion.

Water samples from five different locations viz., inlet, outlet, littoral zones and centre were collected for a period of 9 months covering three different seasons viz., winter, spring and summer. The season wise mean values recorded for various physico-chemical parameters were: air temperature (17.4±3.46 oC), water temperature (17.42±0.19 oC), depth (2.37±0.49m), transparency (1.5±0.1m), dissolved oxygen (9.38±0.32mg/l), pH (8.0±0.08), free carbon dioxide (9.9±0.6mg/l), chloride (13.0±0.32mg/l), total alkalinity (231.1±2.1mg/l), total hardness (317.0±1.9mg/l), calcium hardness (71.6±1.7mg/l), magnesium hardness (57.9±0.8mg/l), ammonical nitrogen (96.8±1.2µg/l), nitrate nitrogen (485.5±2.6µg/l), total phosphorous (231.0±1.1µg/l) and orthophosphate (29.8±0.6µg/l).Overall, it was established that water quality of the lake has deteriora...

Landmark-based morphometrics are examined to evaluate the population status of Schizopyge niger (... more Landmark-based morphometrics are examined to evaluate the population status of Schizopyge niger (Heckel, 1838) from Dal Lake and Jhelum River. A total of 180 individuals are collected from the two locations, and a truss network is constructed by interconnecting 12 landmarks to yield 30 distance variables that are extracted from digital images of specimens using tpsDig2 and PAST software. Transformed truss measurements are subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA), where the first component explains 78.43% of total variance, while the second and third components explain 4.62 and 2.91% of total variance respectively. The high component loadings are from the characters which mostly contribute to anterior half of body depth, middle portion of body depth, and head region. The bivariate plot of PC1 and PC2 clearly indicates the separation of the two populations. The cross validation of this analysis reveals that the percentage of correctly classified fishes is 100% both in Dal Lake as well as Jhelum River.
