Neolissochilus kaladanensis sp. nov., a new cyprinid species, is described from the Kaladan River drainage of Mizoram. It differs all other valid species in having higher number gill rakers on lower arm first arch (13–14 vs. 12 or below species). The analysis mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences separated N. nov. and Tor with an average genetic distance 6.0%. further morphologically most similar hendersoni soroides by 6.7% 6.8%, respectively. Based lowest BIC...

Fish is an irreplaceable, highly nutritious aquatic food in a balanced diet. On the contrary, fish can also be source of metal contamination when ingested excess through and water. The aim present study was to determine seasonal variations proximate body composition levels Na, K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb muscle tissue three species namely, Schizothorax plagiostomus, progastus Barilius bendelisis dwelling Central Himalayan river Alaknanda at Srinagar (Garhwal) Garhwal Himalaya. protein...

Barilius bendelisis and vagra inhabit mostly in the spring-fed streams of Indian Himalaya constitute an important portion protein diet rural human population residing near stream banks. In spite large aquaculture importance this genus very less morphometric molecular studies have been conducted. This study addresses characterization B. by using truss analysis mitochondrial COI gene. A total 293 samples 127 were collected from three different sites Chenab river basin March 2015 to April 2017....

Peltula shalae Kumar S. is described as a new species of lichens from the Chenab Valley Jammu and Kashmir, India. It characterised by peltate-umbilicate thallus comprising overlapping squamules forming rosettes, with diameter 2–3.5 cm. The absence soredia notable. This lichen observed to grow on ‘shale rock’, type sedimentary rock, distinguished closely related species, including P. daurica, sonorensis, anthracina , obscurans its distinct morphological features. Furthermore, comprehensive...

The present study observed variations in the morphological traits of hill trout, Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton, 1807) from Alaknanda basin Central Himalaya. A total 124 samples B. were collected three different tributaries, Dugadda Gad, Khankhra Gad and Khandah river between March 2015 to April 2016. Ninety morphometric characters measured for each specimen. Statistical tools, univariate analysis variance (ANOVA), principal component (PCA) discriminant function (DFA) used differentiate...

Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton) inhabits cold water drainages of the Himalayan region, occurring near stream banks. It is an important component diet rural population Uttarakhand and Jammu. Despite aquaculture importance B. bendelisis, no extensive molecular characterization from two geographically isolated rivers, Alaknanda Chenab, has been conducted. In order to study those aspects, 567 samples were analysed collected these tributaries rivers between March 2015 April 2017. The morphometric...

Truss-based morphometric analysis was used to examine phenotypic plasticity of Barilius vagra (Hamilton, 1822) inhabiting the tributaries Alaknanda (Ganga River basin) and Chenab (Indus basin), two geographically distinct river basins in Indian Himalaya. Fourteen landmarks were connected generate a truss network 90 parameters on body fish. Eighty traits out ninety measurements explained statistically significant difference among six sampling locations from streams basins. Discriminant...

Introduction: Clean water, basic toilets, and good hygiene practices are essential for all human beings. Water, Sanitation, Hygiene in the fish market while handling to reduce as well prevent contamination microbial growth. Objective: To assess sanitation, (WASH) among fisherwomen Udupi Taluk. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out using a validated questionnaire Data were entered analyzed IBM Statistical Package Social Science (SPSS) version 16.0. Results: The found that most...

In order to ensure adequate mass-flow rate at low Mach numbers through air-intake models in a blow-down wind tunnel, the diffuser of tunnel was used as passive ejector. The ejector action accomplished by interconnecting exit plane intake model low-pressure region downstream choked second throat tunnel. Due reduced back-pressure, there significant acceleration entry flow, indicated nearly doubling inlet velocity. Measurements indicate that for an aircraft model, well submerged maximum mass...

Abstract Air pollution i.e. the toxic pollutants which are present in air is one of most important factors concern world. As we all know that may have evolved from natural sources earth and atmosphere such as CO 2 , CO, NO SO O 3 has a great effect on people's hygiene health. This problem not only suffered by major cities developing countries but also developed facing this issue. Hence to improve particular situation real-time quality system Pollution Monitoring System necessary. To level an...
