Full text linkFish farming is hailed by some as a solution to the overfishing problem. However, these farms are far from benign and can severely damage ecosystems by introducing diseases, pollutants and invasive species. The damage caused by fish farms varies, depending on the type of fish, how it is raised and fed, the size of the production, and where the farm is located. analyzing the nutrient quality and improve in future and further research of our vermi wash fish pellets we can make informed decisions about using it as a soil amendment and fertilizer to support healthy fish growth and improve fish production in our indoor rearing center and ornamental fish rearing center.
 
Fish Gelatin Detection in Edible’s Bird Nest by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Method
Full text linkEdible’s Bird Nest (EBN) is a nest made from dried bird (Aerodramus fucuphagus) saliva and can be consumed. The process of turning dirt into edible bird’s nest involves a lengthy process, from harvesting in the birds\u27 houses or caves, removing dirt and sand, soaking/washing, removing feathers, reshaping, drying, and heating. In this reshaping process, gelatin can be used as the glue. Gelatin is recovered from collagen by hydrolysis. The resources of gelatin are derived from bovine, porcine, and fish sources. Indonesia is the world\u27s largest exporter of commodities. Each export destination country has its unique requirements. Export destination countries with Muslim consumers require a product to be halal, without porcine material. In contrast, other countries require it to be free from bovine materials or pure, without gelatin. Fish gelatin has advantages as an alternative source for bovine and porcine gelatin substitutes. There is a need for a valid and fast deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) detection method for fish to support the acceleration of exports. This study aims to detect fish DNA by real-time polymerase chain reaction and to determine the concentration of fish DNA in gelatin that can be detected by real-time PCR. Fish gelatin EBN samples and positive controls were used in this study. The primer and probe were BLAST primed before use. The results of fish gelatin amplification with graded concentrations from 50 ng/µl to 0.00005 ng/µl, and the detection limit was 0.0005 ng/µl in the presence of gelatin. The analysis of 50 samples and their results revealed that fish DNA was detected in 90% of the EBN samples, with a gelatin spike in 20% and 10%
Avian Ecology And Conservation Challenges In Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India
Full text linkKeoladeo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India is long known for its rich avian biodiversity, including globally threatened and migratory bird species. The present study investigates the avian diversity and conservation challenges through multiple field surveys conducted during November and December 2024. A total of 3488 individuals representing 73 species across 34 families were recorded using the point-count method. Remarkably, 2176 individuals from eight globally threatened and near-threatened species were observed including two endangered species (Aquila nipalensis and Neophron percnopterus), two vulnerable species (Clanga hastata and Ciconia episcopus) and four near-threatened species. Diversity analysis revealed a Richness Index of 8.83, indicating high species richness, while Simpson’s Index (0.62) and Shannon’s Index (1.89) suggest moderate species diversity. Ciconiidae appeared to be the most dominant family, accounting for 62.1% of the total avian population, with Mycteria leucocephala being the most abundant species. Furthermore, a decline in migratory bird populations was observed compared to previous years and Eurasian spoonbills (Platalea leucorodia) were found nesting outside the boundaries of park suggesting a shift in breeding habitats potentially due to habitat degradation. The study highlights habitat loss, fragmentation, water scarcity and human interference are significant threats to avian diversity. These findings also suggest an urgent need for conservation strategies including sustainable habitat management and regular ecological monitoring to preserve wildlife biodiversity
Impact Climate Change On Biodiversity- A Case Study On Quails
Full text linkThe average surface temperature is predicted to rise 0.5 to 6˚C by the year 2100. When Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), a source of protein for many, are subjected to heat stress, their blood acid-base equilibrium and ability to regulate electrolytes may change. Climate change adversely affects food security because of its undesirable consequences on agricultural crops as well as on livestock (Shukla et al., 2019). Further, temperature is adjudged to be the most important environmental determinant amongst all bioclimatic variables usually evoking stress

Toxicological Impact Of Clove Oil (Eugenol) On Channa Punctatus: A Dose-Dependent Analysis Of Histopathological, Histomorphometric, And Biochemical Alterations
Full text linkThis study investigates the toxicological impact of clove oil (eugenol) on Channa punctatus, focusing on dose-dependent histopathological, histomorphometric, and biochemical alterations. Fish were exposed to varying concentrations of clove oil (0 mg/L, 5 mg/L, 15 mg/L, and 25 mg/L) for different durations (1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours). Histopathological analysis revealed dose- and time-dependent neuronal degeneration in the brain, epithelial thickening and lamellar damage in the gills, and inflammation in the suprabranchial cavity. Histomorphometric measurements confirmed these changes, with significant reductions in neuronal cell density, gill epithelial thickness, and suprabranchial cavity volume at higher concentrations. Biochemical assays showed increased HSP70 expression, elevated SOD activity, and decreased total protein content, indicating oxidative stress and cellular damage. The results highlight the neurotoxic and respiratory impairments caused by clove oil exposure, emphasizing the importance of controlling concentration and exposure duration to prevent potential harm in aquaculture practices
Ayurvedic Perspective and Management of Stress Induced Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis: A Case Report
Full text linkAccording to the Ayurveda Mandagni (~weak digestive fire) is a primary cause of all diseases, including Mukhpaka (~recurrent aphthous stomatitis). Stress such as Chinta (~worry), Shoka (~grief), Bhaya (~fear) are the cause that contributes to the formation of Mandagni (~weak digestive fire) and, consequently Aam (~undigested metabolic waste) is the end product. The symptoms of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) can be correlated with Mukhpaka. A 42-year-old female patient presented to the outpatient department with complaints of recurrent, painful mouth ulcers in the buccal and labial mucosa and soft palate, along with a burning sensation, persisting for two and a half years. The exact etiology of recurrent aphthous stomatitis remains unknown; however, numerous predisposing factors, including stress, are known to influence the condition. The patient was diagnosed with recurrent aphthous stomatitis with stress, identified as a significant predisposing factor. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale questionnaire was utilized for the diagnosis. The condition was managed with Aam Pachana (~metabolic waste digestive medication), along with anti-stress, anxiolytic and Medhya (~cognitive-enhancing) medications, as well as Pranayama (~breathing exercise). The total treatment period lasted 60 days, followed by a one-month follow-up. After the treatment, the patient experienced significant relief from recurrent aphthous stomatitis
Exploring Marine Zooplankton Diversity In Mumbai’s Coastline, Maharashtra, India.
Full text linkIn the present work, we carried out the diversity of Zooplankton in some selected coastal areas of Mumbai coasts like Aksa beach, Versova beach, Manori beach, Girgaon Chowpatty and Elephanta caves from 22 September 2022 to 26 February 2023. The Zooplanktons were collected in the interval of 10-15 days from each site. As Zooplankton are present on the surface during the day, the collections were done during the day by using a Zooplankton hand net. Each site had different geographical condition, which includes high current, sandy and muddy shore, and different tide levels. A total of 28 species were found during the study of these 5 stations; we found 6 orders and 17 families of Zooplankton. Among these species, copepods and foraminifera are the most dominant groups of holoplankton. The highest diversity of Zooplankton was seen in Aksa, Versova, Manori, while the lowest observed at Elephanta Caves and Girgaon.
 
A Study Of Economic Conditions And Challenges Of Fishermen In Ganga–Gomati Rivers
Full text linkThe present study examines the economic conditions and challenges faced by traditional fishermen inhabiting the Ganga–Gomati river basin. Fishing remains a primary source of livelihood for these communities, yet their socio-economic well-being is under persistent threat due to multiple environmental, institutional, and market-related factors. The study highlights pressing issues such as declining fish resources caused by overfishing, habitat degradation, and water pollution, which directly affect fishermen’s income and food security. Market exploitation by intermediaries, lack of access to modern infrastructure, inadequate financial support, and bureaucratic hurdles further aggravate their vulnerability. Climate change-induced floods, droughts, and shifting river ecology have disrupted traditional fishing cycles and livelihoods. In addition, technological displacement by mechanized boats and the erosion of cultural traditions are weakening community resilience. The study emphasizes that strengthening market linkages, promoting sustainable fishing practices, improving access to credit and government schemes, and supporting livelihood diversification are essential to enhance economic resilience. Collaborative interventions from government bodies, NGOs, and local institutions are crucial for securing both the livelihoods and cultural identity of fishing communities in the Ganga–Gomati rivers
