Abstract: The issue of bycatch in fisheries sector has been a major concern for the marine biologists over few decades in terms of conservation of marine eco-system and sustainability of the fisheries sector and marine biodiversity. Bycatch generally include species of little commercial importance, which in most cases is dumped overboard either into the sea or after reaching the fish landing sites. The article discusses the ecological, economic, legal,... More

Abstract: The study was carried out to find the prevalence and severity of Argulus sp. in Indian Major Carps (IMC) collected from Bhangore block of South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal during November’2018 to August’2019. The highest parasitic prevalence (PFI, 83.33%) had been recorded in the month of January and lowest (PFI, 9%) in the month of August. The identities of selected parasites were further confirmed by molecular identification through... More

Abstract: This work analyzes bacterial communities present in evaporation ponds of solar salterns of Gran Canaria and reveals specific organisms through molecular techniques. Solar salterns are protected areas in Canary Islands where salt is produced from sea water by solar and wind powered evaporation. Salt was an important product for ancient islanders who used it for a broad field of purposes, but also has a great importance in recent time for its... More

Abstract: This study evaluated the effect of enriched artemia nauplii with commercial probiotic for angelfish larvae determining productive performance, intestinal modulation and survival. Therefore, it experiment occurred in completely randomized design with five treatments (T1- 0.0, T2- 1.5, T3- 3.0, T4- 4.5 and T5- 6.0g of commercial probiotic) and four replaces during 20 days. After larvaculture, post larvae passed by biometric procedures to determine... More

Abstract: The demand for shark fins in Asiatic markets has resulted in excessive increases in shark catches, even for species that may be under protection or subject to management. As such, it has been necessary to develop and promote monitoring efforts for exploited species and taxonomic groups in order to improve fishing management strategies for elasmobranchs. Identifying species from landings is one of many fishing management problems because landed... More
