However due to over exploitation‚ pollution and habitat destruction‚ we are losing the freshwater species faster than the marine and forest ones. Therefore‚ we need to protect them

Brook Trout Fishing The general term that is particular to a number of class that belong to the salmon kin Salmononidae is Trout. Trout is a freshwater fish that frequently seen in the streams and brooks over North America. All fish that are suitably named as trout‚ has been classified as a member of subfamily Salmoninae. Salmoninae has been divided into three genera subfamily mainly; Salvelinus which consists of fish pertaining to char or charr together with brook trout‚ the Oncorhynchus which

a) Describe the physico-chemical qualities of water that are important to aquaculturists. Aquaculture can be defined as the high-density production of fish‚ shellfish and plant forms in a controlled environment. Stocking rates for high-density aquaculture are typically thousand fold greater than wild environments. Modern fish culturists employ both open and close systems to raise fish. Open systems‚ such as‚ the raceways are characterized by rapid turnover of water. Closed systems are commonplace

Keywords: Darbandikhan‚ lake‚ physico-chemical properties‚ rotifera density INTRODUCTION The rotifers are among the most common inhabitants of freshwater everywhere. Some also live in brackish water and few in the ocean or on land in damp sites (Jordan and Verma‚ 2009). Rotifers are obligate aquatic animals that are reputed to have particularly efficient mechanisms to survive extreme or prolonged

grooves in the back‚ and a series of finlets between the rear dorsal fin and anal fin and the tail. The base of the tail is slender‚ and the caudal fin strongly divided. Primarily swift predators of open seas; some of the smaller species strain zooplankton through their gill rakers. Example of a Scombridae. This one’s a mackerel. Mode of locomotion is Thunniform: Most fishes move by generating an undulating wave along their bodies along their bodies that pushes water backwards but thunniform

Mangrove Case Study A mangrove ecosystem is a general word that covers trees that are able to live in the conditions of shallow water area. There are many different plat families and these plants are able to survive regular flooding as well as fresh and salt waters. The mangrove trees must withstand being submerged twice a day by saltwater tides. The soil in which these trees grow in maybe sand but it is mostly rich mud. This rich mud is high in nutrients but low in oxygen. Mangroves have these

Identity of Cyanobacterial Toxins Cyanobacterial toxins are toxins produced by cyanobacteria‚ or blue-green algae. They include neurotoxins (e.g.‚ anatoxins)‚ hepatotoxins (e.g.‚ microcystins)‚ skin irritants and other toxins. Both hepatotoxins and neurotoxins are produced by cyanobacteria commonly found in surface water supplies and therefore appear to be of most relevance to water supplies at present.1-3 However‚ the neurotoxins are relatively unstable and‚ as such‚ are not considered to be as

kingdoms ("What Are Dinoflagellates?"). Approximately 4500 species have been described and organized into 550 genera. Almost three quarters of the genera and more than half of the species are fossil. Around 1700 are marine and about 220 are living in freshwater. Their specie growth is skyrocketing‚ between 2000 and 2007 three new dinoflagellate families‚ 22 new genera‚ and 87 new species were described (Hoppenrath‚ 2012). Many dinoflagellates are primary producers of food in the aquatic food webs (Faust
