Effect of Water Quality on Aquaculture
Abstract: Aquaculture is the cultivation of aquatic organisms such as fish, algae, molluscs, crustaceans under controlled conditions. The farming of fish is the most common procedure of aquaculture which involves nurturing fish commercially in tanks, fishponds, or ocean enclosures usually for food. The increasing demand for seafood has led to advent in technology that has made it possible to grow foodin coastal marine waters and the open ocean. Aquaculture is a …

Effect of Short-term Exposure of Agrochemical Constituents (Nitrate, Nitrite, Phosphate and Potassium) on Survival of Fingerlings of Guppy Fish, Poecilia reticulata
Abstract: Increased use of agrochemicals enhances eutrophication and thereby inducing hypoxic condition which adversely affects aquatic flora and fauna. Present study was aimed to investigate the effects of short-term exposure of different concentration of nitrate (NO3), nitrite (NO2), phosphate (PO4) and potassium (K) on survival of Guppy fish, Poecilia reticulata. Fingerlings of Poecilia reticulata were exposed to increasing concentration (1, 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 mg/L) of NO3, NO2, PO4 andK …

Polymeric Approach in Microplastic Degradation Mechanisms
Abstract: Microplastics (> 5 mm size), are silently infiltrating ecosystems on a global scale. The persistence of microplastics in terrestrial and aquatic surroundingss poses a significant ecological and surroundings challenge. Thus, understanding and development of effective degradation mechanisms to mitigate the persistence of microplastics in the surroundings is required. Natural degradation pathways, such as photodegradation, biological degradation, and abiotic degradation have been explored. Polymeric materials possess unique properties that can be …

Punjab’s Wetlands as Inland Analogues of Marine Ecosystems: Status, Stressors and CommunityLed Conservation.
Abstract: Aquatic and wetland ecosystems in Punjab, India, represent ecologically significant yet increasingly degraded socioecological systems embedded within an intensively managed agrarian landscape. Despite their recognised importance, existing studies largely treat these systems using conventional freshwater ecological frameworks, with limited integration of microbiologically mediated processes and broader ecosystem theories. A key research gap, therefore, lies in the lack of interdisciplinary approaches that can holistically interpret wetland structure, function, and governance across …
