References. The snake head of murrels are a group of air breathing fishes which by virtue of the presence of accessory respiratory organ can thrive well in fallow derelict swampy waters normally considered as adverse low oxygen environments condition. Among the different air breathing fishes Channa sp. (murrels) constitute the most common and dominent group. Murrels are highly priced fishes all over the India for their good keeping quality unique flavour nutritive recuperative and medicinal properties especially in Punjab West Bengal M.P. and Peninsular India. This group of fishes constitute the mainstay of natural freshwater fisheries in Peninsular India where they are reared in village ponds irrigation wells and shallow water. Among different murrels which are available in India the giant murrel (Channa marulius) the stripped murrel (C.straitus) and the spotted murrel (C.Punctatus) are important and commonly available species of which the former two attain a large size and are of economic importance. Because of their hardy nature and capacity to thrive in swamp and derelict waters where Indian major carps can not survive murrels have attracted the attention of pisciculturists scientists and planners as a candidate species for culture with minimal investment. The major constraint in their culture is the lack of knowledge about their biology and absence of culture methods is available at present. A sincere attempt has been made in this book to gather information on the bionomics seed resources of three important species of murrels and their culture viability this will be definitely an asset to the farmers scientists and planners alike. 112 pp.

From the Preface Induced breeding and polyculture of carps are well known technologies being extensively adopted on a large scale in almost all parts of the country. The thrust in aquaculture has led to more demand for quality stocking material. Ever increasing demand of quality seed cannot be met by collection of seed from natural resources i.e. rivers canals etc. Many aquaculturists and agencies those were earlier dependant on natural fish seed collection have switched over to artificial fish seed production in recent years. Since the establishment of Pond Culture Division of Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute at Cuttack in 1949 and presently the Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture Bhubaneswar it has made epoch making contributions to R and D in aquaculture in the country. Two major technologies such as induced breeding and composite culture of carps laid the foundations of Indian Aquaculture. CIFA has developed technologies to produce seed for a prolonged duration covering pre and post monsoon months by multiple spawning of carps. This would provide full time employment to the farmers engaged in multiple breeding and thereafter for multiple cropping of table size carps. 164 pp.

The invention of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique by Kary. B. Mullis has revolutionized the field of diagnostic molecular biotechnology. Its ability to detect pathogens at the molecular level has given it an unparalleled stature. Initially restricted to the laboratories now it has found wide application at the field level. This is evident from the present surge in references to the technique. With the plenitude of viral and bacterial epizootics plaguing shrimp aquaculture and remedies for the same being a distant possibility the aquaculture sector as such is opting for newer strategies to keep itself sustainable. One such approach which is gaining momentum is to screen shrimp seeds prior to stocking and broodstocks prior to seed production. How far this approach will contribute in striking a balance between loss and production has been successfully established in recent years in India. The scenario in the aquaculture sector has changed with the popularization of the PCR technique whereby farmers are insisting on PCR tested seeds and hatcheries are not taking risk by using untested broodstocks. PCR the repetitive bi directional DNA synthesis via primer extension of a specific nucleic acid sequence is simple in design and can be applied in seemingly endless ways. Because PCR is much more than just mixing reagents in a tube and running a machine this book outlines the best ways to utilize the PCR technique for shrimp disease diagnosis in particular the white spot syndrome virus (WS8V). Along with detailed protocols it also deals extensively on the effective utilization of laboratory space 111 which PCR procedures are setup and how to avoid PCR contamination by applying a self imposed technical auditing to ourselves. Further this book dealt with other successfully developed and demonstrated molecular techniques viz. in situ hybridization probes and blot techniques etc apart from electron microscopy and cryopreservation protocols. One would find this book a comprehensive write up packed with innovative information and advanced technical know hows essential for undertaking aquaculture in the most modern manner. 166 pp.

Ornamental fish resources. References. Subject index. The disparity between knowledge of the fisheries of the lakes and other lentic water bodies and that of the rivers is significantly palpable in India which obviously is the outcome of inchoate assiduity made on riverine ecology and fisheries research in the country. The paucity of extensive and empirical knowledge on the riverine ecology and fisheries has put the policy makers basin managers and other competent authorities at a disadvantage situation to redress the resultant malady in any developmental programmes culminating from these lotic bodies. The plight is significantly more conspicuous in Barak river system of India lying primarily within the geographical jurisdiction of Southern Assam and cursorily in Manipur and Mizoram States of N.E. India. Further the students and researchers of fishery science in general and those of Assam University and its affiliated colleges of NER in particular have since been deprived of an authentic prequel on the ecology and fisheries of Barak river system to meet the requisites of their study programme. The present treatise which encompasses an extensive profile on the ecology and fisheries of the Barak river system of India therefore will not only fulfill the need of these students in their academic pursuit along with other researchers in the field but will also make the policy makers and planners to materialize the fishery potentialities of the region on the fish fauna fluvial dynamics and ecology including the physico chemical conditions and potamoplankton communities of each lotic water system of the Barak drainages hitherto remained unexplored. Besides the capture fisheries of some principal rivers along with fishing gears and devices those are in vogue in the drainages have also been purported in the treatise. The endemic ornamental fish resources of the Barak river system a recent field of commercial importance have been incorporated in the book to expose their potentialities in global trade for the benefit of the entrepreneurs and aquarists of the region. 192 pp.

Aquaculture in India is currently at the cross roads (!) and we are not able to enhance our fish production to the next level though countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia are showing tremendous guts and will power to grow at a rapid phase on the aquaculture front. Two major critical factors which are considered to be the stumblingblocks for aquaculture development in India are : (i) not diversifying and introducing new viable species (ii) innovative, intensive and advanced aquaculture systems are seldom introduced. Its time we address these issues to pave way for the genuine development to take place in aquaculture sector in India. 'Indoor aquaculture' is one such culture practice that can be adopted effectively to enhance fish production as it only requires less space, less water and less energy. The success achieved through these systems in countries such as USA, Hawaii, Mexico, Malaysia, etc are phenomenal. A raceway culture system designed, prototyped, fabricated, domesticated and demonstrated for the benefit of scientific and farming community, by the author in India is dealt in detail in this book. This system can be adopted or domesticated for both marine and freshwater cultivable high value species. By effecting location specific - modifications, this system should work wonderfully, as it has been proved to be sustainable and eco-friendly by fellow countrymen in other parts of the world. Enterprising entrepreneurs and aquaculture technologists are invited to adopt this system to their full advantage.

Developments in aquaculture are gaining considerable momentum in India through innovative and advanced technologies. However we need to be cautious and conscious of the eco friendly and sustainable approaches while we direct our energies on improved and enhanced yield through aquaculture. Sustainable Development has come to stay and it will be accepted as a viable concept to eradicate poverty and to improve the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystem. Needless to emphasis that it is paramount importance in aquaculture that it has to be practiced within the boundaries of its sustainable limits. Advanced and eco friendly techniques in aquaculture could be cleverly adopted in order to develop technically feasible and economically viable packages of aquaculture technologies for adoption in our country. This book covers a wide range of topics coving many techniques starting from the basics such as algal production technique to the latest molecular diagnostic technique such as PCR and the Intensive Raceway System Management which could be of immense use to the fisheries graduates laboratory/farm technicians entrepreneurs and others. This book includes all the essential and inevitable techniques one should know to be a successful aquaculturist and to manage the systems on scientific lines. The book would be very handy to the aquaculture technologies to practice an eco friendly aquaculture. 168 pp.

The book Soil and Water Quality Management for Sustainable Aquaculture will be a day to day instant user friendly guidebook for all those actively engaged in the field of freshwater aquaculture. This will perhaps be the first comprehensive guidebook of its kind to deal with various chapters regarding the Establishment of Soil and Water Analysis Laboratory importance of soil and water quality monitoring in aquaculture practices soil water and monitoring of water colour for sustainable aquaculture. Soil and water chapters comprises with collection processing and preservation of samples analytical procedures for different parameters and correction methodology. Apart from these some relevant case studies are also cited as example for the users guidance. The main aim of this book is to help the UG and PG students of the fisheries science and ultimately for the benefit of the end users towards sustainable fish production. It will also helpful to the researchers extension workers and farm managers as an instant asset for solving the complex problem of the dynamic freshwater culture systems. The various chapters of the book have been written in a lucid manner and as brief as possible to pick up the subject materials for ready application in a logical way towards the achievable target. Understanding the characteristics of solid and water in particular knowing how to maintain good quality soil/water and how to improve difficult soils/waters is of importance of sustainable agriculture and aquaculture or fish based farming system (A4 Aquaculture Agriculture Animal Husbandry Apiculture). To achieve success in different culture practices soil and water analysis is the first and foremost duty of a manager/worker of respective fields. Selection of right parameters again needs thorough knowledge regarding the subject and also passion in your professions. Accordingly a complete understanding of relationship between water quality soil quality and aquatic productivity is a pre requisite for optimum growth and production in any aquatic ecosystem. This book will perhaps be well received in all the fisheries colleges universities state Govt. Fisheries departments private and public sector institutions where training teaching research and extension of freshwater aquaculture is undertaken. 238 pp.

With the advent of new tools research on the structure and fuction of fish has made tremendous progress in the last few decades. An attempt to integrate the new information was started when the first volume edited by Prof. B.R. Singh was published in 1993. In the mean time the second and third volumes were published in 1997 and 2003 respectively. The fourth volume of the book includes research articles by well known authors on several subfields of fish biology including feeding ecology neurobiology population dynamics air breathing organs prostaglandins and sexual behaviour biometrics and reproductive biology etc. The book aims at providing up to date information on different aspect of fish biology with an indication of potential areas for future research. We are sure the book will cater to the needs of post graduate students research scholars and teachers interested in the fascinating field of fish biology. 312 pp.

Filter feeding in aquatic insects. This is the happiest moment for the authors to present Ecology of Aquatic Insects to readers of this discipline. Study of any organism without considering its ecology is not complete as no organism can be separated from its environment. About 75% of earth's surface is covered by water which is source of life on earth. It is the medium within which all aspects of ecosystem co exist both living and non living. Insects have adopted themselves to occupy almost every conceivable ecological niche in on or above the earth. They are all around us occupying our houses puncturing our skin consuming our food and clothing. There is scarcely any place on the earth that is not home to atleast one kind of insects. They endure all extremes of environment and are the most successful group of animals from Protozoa to mammals. This is an attempt to provide distinct advantage to its user (undergraduate postgraduate and life science students and also the researchers who are engaged in deciphering the mystery of aquatic ecology) towards better understanding of relation between insects and aquatic environment. 240 pp.
