Shark fin rays: technology of extraction

A simple process is described for extraction of rays from shark fins. The process consists in treating the rays with acetic acid to soften the tissue, separation of the rays by hand and drying. White fins yield almost double the quantity of rays compared to black fins

Exploitation of the brown mussel Perna indica (Kuriakose and Nair) from selected centres along The west coast of Tamil Nadu

The brown mussel, Pema vndica. Is found abundantly on intertldal and subtidal rocks along This study was undertaken to determine the current level of exploitation from selected centres along the west coast of Tamil Nadu, since estimates of catch and effort form part of the basic information required for fishery management

Community participation in mitigating marine waste to reduce climatic change in tourism destinations

Purpose: Waste in the marine environment has become a serious task to be managed. Uncontrolled dumping creates large amounts of methane gas contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. This conceptual paper focuses on the role of community in waste management activities to reduce carbon emissions in the marine environment. Hence, this paper aims to examine using literature, the various roles of community, types of marine waste and its impact on carbon emissions and climate change. Design/methodology/approach: The paper is based on evaluation and criticism from previous studies and provides a hypothetical understanding of the human contribution to climate change, and its impacts which will increasingly affect climate change and sustainable tourism. Findings: The results from this study can be used as a guide for policy makers to help improve community participation and public engagement in efforts to reduce the levels of waste in the marine environment. This is especially critical in rural tourism destinations where the impact of uncontrolled marine waste has serious consequences for the tourism industry. Originality/value: The paper contributes to a better understanding of the role of community in mitigating waste to attain a higher quality of tourism experience and environmental benefits from emission level reductions

Effect of trace elements on the rate of carbon production in marine photyplankton at different temperature

The alteration ih trace metal (Cu. Mu and Zn) toxicity was assessed in terms of rate of carbon production at different temperature in two unicellular algae Synechocystis salina, Wislouch and Isochrysis galbana Parke. m e rate of carbon production was maximum at lS°C for S. salina and at 30°C for I. galbnna. Metal toxicity increased at higher temperature (40°C) by inhibiting carbon production to a larger extent
