Impact of Silicon Dioxide Nanoparticle on Fresh Water Fish Clarius Batrachusijtsrd
Clarias batrachus, a freshwater Indian air breathing catfish is one of the important fish species. It is treated as a typical example to deal with the alimentary canal of a teleost and a test animal in many laboratories of Indian Universities . However, the effect of silicon dioxide nanoparticles on Indian Air breathing fishes is lacking. Therefore, the present work was designed to evaluate the median lethal dose of silicon dioxide nanoparticles on Clarias batrachus. The work will help in deciding the toxicity level of silicon dioxide nanoparticles for the higher yield of this fish. Nanotechnology an advanced tool to synthesis atomic level particles. Increased application of silicon dioxide nanoparticles results in the bioaccumulation of these particles in the environment. The fate and effect of nanomaterials in the environment has raised concern about their environmental risk to aquatic organisms. Silica nanoparticles SiO2 NPs find its uses in various fields and are inevitably released into the environment. However, the ecotoxicological effects of SiO2 NPs on the freshwater fish remain poorly understood.

1. ABOUT THIS SUBJECT
Marine Conservation Biology is a 3rd year BSc subject intended for students majoring in the fields
of marine biology, ecology, conservation biology or environmental impact assessment. It runs in
the second semester (July-November) and consists of 25 lectures and 12 tutorials that are a mix of
practical exercises, debates, discussions and presentations. Attendance at all tutorials is
compulsory and attendance at all lectures is highly recommended. To enter this subject you
should have completed Marine Biology to second year level. There are no inadmissible subject
combinations.
1.1 WHY MARINE CONSERVATION BIOLOGY?
So you have chosen to do Marine Conservation Biology! Congratulations on your wise choice.
There is an urgent need to focus science and research on conservation issues in the marine
environment. Many marine ecosystems are on the verge of collapse, many habitats have been
decimated and many believe we are on the threshold of a human-induced mass extinction event.
The mission of this subject is to develop scientific skills and enhance employment prospects to
confront the biodiversity crisis in the marine environment.
Conservation biology is the application of scientific methodology to the conservation of biological
diversity. It is an ecological science that targets the causes and seeks remedies to the disastrous
global decline in biodiversity that we have already seen on land and are beginning to see in our
harbours and oceans. Marine conservation biology is a relatively new and rapidly changing
discipline in marine biology. New concepts are devel.

Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to Data Assimilation and its techniques and progress for operational oceanography.
Gary Brassington is first introducing this newsletter with a paper telling us about the international summer school for “observing,
assimilating and forecasting the ocean” which will be held in Perth, Western Australia in 11-22 January 2010
(http://www.bom.gov.au/bluelink/summerschool/). The course curriculum will include topics covering the leading edge science in
ocean observing systems, as well as the latest methods and techniques for analysis, data assimilation and ocean modeling.
Scientific articles about Data Assimilation are then displayed as follows: The first article by Broquet et al. is dealing with Ocean
state and surface forcing correction using the ROMS-IS4DVAR Data Assimilation System. Then, Cosme et al. are describing the
SEEK smoother as a Data Assimilation scheme for oceanic reanalyses. The next article by Brankart et al. is displaying a synthetic
literature review on the following subject: Is there a simple way of controlling the forcing function of the Ocean? Then Ferry et al.
are telling us about Ocean-Atmosphere flux correction by Ocean Data Assimilation. The last article by Oke et al. is dealing with
Data Assimilation in the Australian BlueLink System.
The next October 2009 newsletter will review the current work on ocean biology and biogeochemistry.
We wish you a pleasant reading!

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. AER & FAME Review… May’14
The latest...
Places are rapidly filling for our Aquatic Ecology
by Research and Freshwater and Marine Ecology
MSc programmes. It looks like we will have a very
interesting and diverse set of students studying
with us from October.
Project updates: Melina Jack (AER part-time) is
discussing her project plans with Drs Christophe
Eizaguirre & Jon Grey to study whelk population
dynamics & trophic ecology in collaboration with
the Kent and Essex IFCA, also supported by
DEFRA. This will involve accompanying trawling
research vessels to collect samples and then plenty
of follow up time in the lab applying
mitochondrial and stable isotope techniques. Cool
multidisciplinary study!
Houting larvae from Marco's salinity tolerance experiment —
in Kiel, Germany
Also AER, Marco Magazzu’ is using his extended
project time to assess whether anthropogenic
hybridization can further threaten the endangered
North Sea houting, one of the rarest fish species in
N Europe. This is also work with Christophe and
Marco has been spending some time working in
the labs at Kiel University in Germany.
Is it ‘clear’ which ones contain invasive crayfish?
The pond mesocosms, the site of at least four MSc
theses are still actively in use. Former AER student,
Ed Willis-Jones, is here testing effects of red
swamp crayfish ecosystem engineering on oxygen
and methane dynamics, as well as zooplankton
community composition and use of methane-
derived carbon.
So… What’s new?
A new optional module, field based in Crete, is
being made available to FAME students keen to
explore the use of statistical methodology in
designing, collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and
presenting population dynamics experiments and
observations…. Tough decision!
The Aquatic Ecology Group is a major player in
the recently launched Natural Environment
Research Council funded London Doctoral
Training Partnership. This essentially means there
are 36 PhD positions up for grabs every year for
the next five spread across the London
Consortium. So, plenty of scope for converting
your MSc straight into a PhD
Dr Andrew Hirst is part of a new NERC & DEFRA
co-funded project. Called Marine Ecosystems
Research Programme, this 5 year multi-million
pound project is focused on UK marine
ecosystems, understanding their past, present and
future states. I foresee spinoff MSc projects!
The latest version of the
Handbooks for 2014 are
available to download
from the MSc web pages.

Where are they now?
• Ed Willis-Jones (AER 12-13) will be giving a
demonstration of invasive crayfish ecosystem
engineering at the River Thame Conservation
Trust in June
• Dimitra Mantzorou (FACS 12-13) did her MSc
project with the Environment Agency on
invasive ‘demon’ shrimp in the Thames. Her
results are being combined with experimental
results from a BSc and a PhD student into a joint
publication to be submitted later this summer.
• Congrats to Felicity Shelley (FACS 09-10)
who worked with Prof Mar kTrimmer for her MSc
thesis and has just had her first paper published in
the prestigious Proceedings of the Royal Society:
