Economic Analysis of Integrated Pig cum Fish Farming in Assam
Get PDF: Integrated fish farming refers to the simultaneous culture of fish or shell fish along with other culturesystems. It may also be defined as the sequential linkage between two or more culture practices. Generallyintegrated farming means the production or culture of two or more farming practices. Fish culture can beintegrated with several systems for efficient resource utilisation. The integration of aquaculture with livestock orcrop farming provides quality protein food, resource utilisation, recycling of farm waste, employment generationand economic development. On farm waste recycling, an important component of integrated fish farming is highlyadvantageous to the farmers as it improves the economy of production and decrease the adverse environmentalimpact of farming. Integrated Fish Farming is one of the best examples of mixed farming. This type of farmingpractices in different forms mostly in the East and South East Asian countries is one of the important ecologicalbalanced sustainable technologies
Nanotechnology- A Novel Approach to Process Fish and Fishery Products
Get PDFIn the context of seafood, Nanotechnology can be meant as the understanding and control ofmatter at a nanoscale where unique phenomena enable novel applications in fishery industry. Nanomaterialsare further defined as substances between 1 and 100 nm in size showing physical, chemical and biologicalproperties that are not found in bulk samples of the fish and fishery products. Applications ofnanotechnology have emerged with increasing need of nanoparticle uses in various fields of fishery sciencesand fish microbiology, including fish processing, fish and fishery products packaging, functional fish as fooddevelopment, fish safety, detection of foodborne pathogens, and shelf-life extension of perishable fish andfish products. This review summarizes the potential of nanoparticles for their uses in the fishery industry inorder to provide consumers a safe and contamination free fish and to ensure the consumer acceptability ofthe fish with enhanced functional properties. Aspects of application of nanotechnology in relation toincreasing in fish nutrition and organoleptic properties of fishes have also been discussed briefly along witha few insights on safety issues and regulatory concerns on nano-processed food products.

Estimation of Plant Available Boron Status in Some Agricultural Soil of Pasinler Plain With Chemical and Biological Method
Get PDF The purpose of this investigation was to determine chemical extraction andbiological method to be used in determining plant available bor in Pasinler Plain Soils. Forthis purpose 11 representative soil samples were sampled. A glasshouse experiment wasconducted using randomised block design was used in three replicates. Corn (Zea maysL.Var.Akpınar) plants were harvested 8 weeks after germination and, rye plants (S.CeraleTetraploid) were harvested 17 day after germination. Boron uptake of the tested plants weredetermined. In order to determine the available boron contents of soils, chemical methods(Azometin-H spectrofotometric and ICP spektrometric) were used: Boron content of testedplants (corn and rye ) were taken as biological indexes.As a result, the Azometin-H spectrofotometric method indicated that 7 of 11 soil samples (1,2,7 and 9 soil number) had not enough plant available B content. Where as the 11 soilsamples had enough sufficiency for B content of corn plants. On the other hand , it wasobtained that B content of rye plants was enough in 7 out of 11 soil samples based on theNeubauer seedling technique.Conclusion in 11 soil samples representing Pasinler Plain ,Azometin-H spectrofotometric andICP spektrometric method produced the highest correlation ( p<0.05 ) with the biologicalindexes
