Management of Fresh water Fisheries

The book under review 'Management of Fresh Water Fisheries' by Jacques Arrignon is a very valuable compendium of knowledge on fresh water fisheries presented in three parts, such as ecological fundamentals, fish breeding and management of aquatic media. The contents of the book are a collection appropriate and authentic record of information which heavily deal with many fundamentals, topics, methodology, breeding and culture practices, management of medium which are relevant, applicable and replicable to many universal situations

Deep Sea and Oceanic Resources

Although the marine living resources are renewable, their unbridled exploitation causes irreparable loss to the habitat and the sustainable production of biota. Ever increasing population and demand for cheap fish protein together with the availability of a 8041 km long coast and more than 1,80,000 km2 shallow coastal area have attracted not only the traditional communities but also small-scale entrepreneurs into fishing. The last fifty years' growth of Indian marine fisheries is commendable, which has transformed a subsistence-oriented traditional fmheries into a market oriented commercial fisheries with the support of technical advancements in harvest and post harvest areas and also gained considerable strength and capabilities in landing, storage and processing infrastructure. The growing demand for prime value species of marine resources in domestic and export market has encouraged the commercial exploitation and production of target species through mechaniaation and motorisation

The deep scattering layer (DSL) of Indian EEZ

The deep scattering layer is a trophic network that carry numerous food chains, some of which end up in species of high economic value, such as oceanic squids, tunas, other scombroids, pelagic sharks etc. These diurnally and vertically moving bioacoustic layers are assemblages of mostly negatively phototropic zooplankton and micronekton. The paper examines their characteristics, sampling methods, ecosystem, bio composition and future lines of research and management priorities and reviews all works done in India on the DSL. The major database for this study is drawn from the results of the initial surveys and samplings of FORV Sagar Sampada in the Indian EEZ since 1985

Impact of bottom trawling on exploited resources

Today's Indian marine fisheries face challenging problems in trying to achieve the kind of snstainability that will assure its axon longrange survival

Book Review: Palaemonid Prawns - Biodiversity, Taxonomy, Biology and Management

Several species of low volume, high value prawns are of great fishery potential throughout the world and hence they play vital role in the economics of those countries through the domestic and export trade. Although the decapod penaeids with their rich biodiversity are widely subjected to research and vividly described in various literatures, the super family Palaemonidae remains at the back and have not received due attention in India insplte of their academic and economic impoitance. Moreover all available literature on this group are highly scattered. The palaemonid prawns form an important source for capture and culture fisheries in the inland waters. The prawns under the subfamily Palaenominae are Inhabitants of inland waters with potential for aquaculture, whereas the members of the subfamily Pontomlnae are exclusively marine and they being brilliantly coloured, are potentially valuable as ornamental candidates for marine aquaria. Since majority of the members of palaemonidae are valuable components in the economics of Asia, America and Europe, informations on their taxonomy, distribution and biology are important prerequisites for managem

Book Review: Commercial exploitation of fisheries - production, marketing and finance strategies. : Hrishikes Bhattacharya : Oxford University Press, New Delhi

The fisheries sector is of paramount importance in the economy of countries as it provides emplojonent besides generation of Income in terms of national and foreign currencies through domestic marketing and foreign trade respectively. This sector is broadly divided into capture and culture sub-sectors, where the former harvest natural finite resources from the wild while the latter produce through farming of selected candidates under a scientific regime with Inputs of capital and labour, which supplement and compliment the capture sub-sector

Development of Marine Fisheries Science in India

Marine Fisheries science is a recent offshoot of Biological Science with great scope for development as fisheries is gaining importance in the food security of all maritime countries. For the progress of the exploration and exploitation of marine living wealth, it is imperative to develop all essential harvest and post harvest infrastructure facilities along with a cadre of capable and well trained manpower resources for research, operation as well to manage the wealth sustainably. The book contains a general description on the world oceans and their characteristics, major currents the basic research methodology normally applied in fisheries studies and researc
