Successful Career and its Attributes

Career planning should be done regularly so as to move forward in our jobs and careers and hence you should start as early as possible. It should be taken as an enjoyable activity which is liberating and fulfilling and it helps you to achieve your goals in your career. It should be taken as a rewarding and positive experience. Career planning should be done annually. Block all distractions and focus on your career and think what you really want to get out of your career and life. When career planning is done annually, you feel more secure in career choice and you will be prepared for any uncertainties that lie ahead in your jobs and career. Once it is done, take time off to review and reflect on the path; whether it was the correct decision. Also think of the things that you could have done differently. Your attitudes, likes, dislikes, needs and wants might have changed and hence move on with the new passion. Even after the review and self-assessment, if you find that you wish to continue with the same decision, and then your choice was correct. Sometime your hobbies could be made to transform into a career which will give you dedication and success. Keep a record of accomplishments in work so that a powerful resume is always ready in hand. Identify the transferable skills in you which would be valuable for many other jobs. Information about trends in career and job is also important and vital for long-term success. Once you gain knowledge about career trends, you can concentrate on developing a unique set of accomplishments, skills and education. Exploring new education and training opportunities also leads to power and success. We should never miss an opportunity to learn and grow more as a person and hence always find new training opportunities

How to Influence People

One of the most important skills that you need to develop for success in life is to influence people. By influencing people you help people to do better and encourage them to see things from a different view point

An interesting note on floating corals.

The floating stone on a closer examination reveals that it is a coral. Corals of the genus Favia, Platygyra etc. are kept floating in a tank filled with water. The scientific explanations of the floating corals are examined. The scientific significance of floating coral are here described

Applications of Molecular Markers in Fisheries and Aquaculture

Organisms are characterized by unique biological attributes which enhance their fitness and survival to a particular environment. The driving force for enhanced survival and fitness is the genetic variation inherent in an individual as well as in a population. The information regarding genetic diversity and variation has wide application in research on evolution, conservation and management of natural populations. The advent of DNA cloning and sequencing methods have contributed immensely to the development of molecular taxonomy and population genetics over the last 2 decades. These modern methods have revolutionized the field of molecular taxonomy and population genetics with improved analytical power and precision

Genetic and Genomic Approaches to Understand Climate Mediated Adaptation in marine Organisms

Genetic and Genomic Approaches to Understand Climate Mediated Adaptation in marine Organism

Importance of Molecular Taxonomy in Fishery Biology Investigations In: ICAR Sponsored Winter School on Recent Advances in Fishery Biology Techniques for Biodiversity Evaluation and Conservation, 1-21 December 2018, Kochi.

Fitness and survival of diverse organisms to a particular environment is dependent on the unique biological attributes of a species. The inherent genetic variation within species and populations provides the necessary impetus to thrive in the presence of dynamic environmental forces. Understanding the genetic and morphological diversity is the key to ensure sustainability of ocean resources, identify adaptive evolution patterns and manage ocean resources. Molecular taxonomic investigations have undergone tremendous advancements in the last decade due to the advent of sequencing methods. The power and precision associated with molecular taxonomic investigations have contributed immensely to the advancement in knowledge in many areas of biological science. Several molecular markers are in use for understanding intra- and inter- specific patterns of diversity in marine populations and they can be characterized as Type I and II. When a marker is associated with genes of known function they belong to Type I category and when associated with genes of unknown function, they belong to Type II category

Biodiversity and community structure of coral reefs around Krusadai Island, Gulf of Mannar, India

This paper gives the results of the surveys conducted in the Krusadai Reef for the assessment of the coral cover and biodiversity during March-May 2005, following the Line Intercept Transect Method. A total of 35 hard coral species were recorded in this reef. The total live, dead and bleached coral cover for the reef as a whole was estimated as 54.9, 18.7 and 15.4% respectively and the remaining part was covered with soft corals, sponges, seagrasses, sand and rubble. Dead coral cover was dominated by porites. Further, relative abundance values were derived for each species and they were assigned the status dominant/ abundant/ common/ uncommon/ rare. Although, no species was assigned “dominant” status, Acropora formosa belonged to the category “abundant” and all other species were either of “common” or “uncommon” status only. Fisher and Shannon diversity indices were highest (3.68 and 2.14 respectively ) in 8th site. Pielou’s evenness was highest in 7th site. SIMPER analysis revealed that Acropora formosa (33.95%) along with Acropora humilis (15.85%), Porites mannarensis (12.97%) and Montipora digitata (12.07%) were responsible for dissimilarity among various sites in the island. The average similarity in species composition was 20.5%

Integrative taxonomy – Methods and Applications

Taxonomy is the discipline in biology aimed at characterizing and naming taxa and taxonomy plays a major role in conserving biodiversity. The central unit of taxonomy is species and generating biological information requires naming of species. Thousands of species are being named every year since the advent of Linnaean nomenclature in 1758. Alpha taxonomy relates to species level characterizations whereas beta taxonomy is related to higher level studies. The advent of new tools for species level identification of groups of organisms has contributed immensely to the rapid development of this branch of science. DNA sequencing technologies, access to museum collections, information about phyogenetics and phylogeography, advances in evolutionary studies and computer tomography have revolutionized conventional taxonomy in such a way that conventional taxonomy could be supplemented and complemented with information generated from all the above approaches. Species delimitation and a scientific consensus on naming could be achieved now by using a combination of different methods along with traditional taxonomy tools and this is the objective of integrative taxonomy. The term “integrative taxonomy” was coined by Dayrat, 2005 to describe a comprehensive approach to naming species
