Yellowfin tuna are an important commercial fish found worldwide in tropical and subtropical oceans. They form schools and feed primarily on fish, crustaceans, and squids. According to this study, the major components of yellowfin tuna diet were teleost fish, crabs, squids, and shrimps. Overfishing is a concern, as the Eastern Pacific stock is overfished and some overfishing is occurring in the Indian Ocean. The study of their feeding habits is important to better understand their role in the ecosystem and to improve management strategies.
Rotifers are popularly called as wheel animalcules. They are an important group of live food organisms for use in aqua hatcheries. Brachionus, which is the most known form of all rotifers, serve as an ideal starter diet for early larval stages of many fish and prawn species in marine as well as freshwater. Species of the genus Brachionus (Brachionidae: Rotifera) are well represented in different water bodies worldwide (Pejler, 1977). Depending on the mouth size of the cultured organisms, small (50 to 110 micron length) or large (100 to 200 micron length) rotifers are used. There are about 2,500 species of rotifers have been known from global freshwater, brackish water, and seawater. B. plicatilis is the species used most commonly to feed fish larvae in hatcheries around the world. It is a euryhaline species, small and slow swimming, with good nutritional value. It is well suited to mass culture because it is prolific and tolerates a wide variety of environmental conditions. The rotifer, B. plicatilis and B. rotundiformis, have been indispensable as a live food for mass larval rearing of many aquatic organisms (Maruyama et al., 1997). By way of significant developments in larval rearing technology of fishes, demand for the rotifer is further increasing.
Aquaculture is the most reliable sector to the providing world nutrias food. It is all depended on the cultivable species. Asian seabass is one of the candidate species for aquaculture because of the wide range of water quality tolerance, growth performance, and consumer preference. The Indian and Western Pacific Oceans are where Asian seabass is found in its natural habitat. It can be cultured in the earthen pond, floating or stationer cages, and recirculating system. Seed resources are available in rivers and lakes of fresh water, but aquaculture is the depending on the hatchery that produces seed because of the superior growth production. In the nursery phase, cannibalism is predominant in Asian seabass cultivation, which will improve via the grading of a shooter. Feeding is one of the important management for good growth performance and reducing cannibalism to give the optimum feed requirements. The growth rate of the Asian seabass is 400-600 g in 4 to 6 months. Asian seabass farmers are suffering from some infectious and non-infection diseases, it will improve via the good management practices of the culture promises. In this review paper, some key points of Asian seabass farming are covered for better understanding.

Puffer fish belonging to the family tetraodontidae are usually distributed in the shallow waters. During investigation in stations viz. Marina Park, Chidiyatapu and Burmanullah, around Andaman, five species from genus Arothron and two from Canthigaster have been recorded and were mostly found to prefer coral reefs and rock crevices, with the exception of Arothron immaculatus, which was found to be present in the open waters and it confined to sandy bottom substrate with patches of sea grasses around them. These fishes were found to be most diverse and abundant in Chidiyatapu with the Margelef’s Richness Index of 2.49, Shannon-Wiener index of 1.05 and Pielou’s evenness index of 0.96. Biometric analysis results demonstrate that they have shown an isometric growth. The individuals collected were mostly lying in the length group of 120-160 mm. Gut content analysis of A. Immaculatus reveals that the fish feed mainly on molluscs and sea urchin and the other food items were shrimps, crabs, sponges, micro algae, foraminiferans etc. gastro-somatic index, hepato-somatic index and gonado-somatic indices were also calculated to throw light upon the feeding behavior and reproductive maturity of the fishes. Most of the individuals were found to be in the developing stage of maturity.
Locomotion in fishes has been classified into three types: Anguilliform or ...RirisLindiawati
Locomotion of fishes means movement of fishes for their survival .
It provides a number of interesting information to the Ichthyologists.
The knowledge of the different methods of locomotion is yet not fully understood because fishes in aquaria or somewhere else other than their natural inhabitation tend to behave in a manner somewhat different from the normal.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
2. INTRODUCTION
Yellowfin is often marketed as ahi, from the Hawaiianʻahi, a name
also used there for the closely related bigeyetuna.
The yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is a species of tuna found in pelagic
waters of tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide
They form schools with other tunas like skipjack and bigeye, and are also
known to associate with dolphins
3. Commercially important.
Although tuna do provide food and livelihoods for people, they are more than
just seafood.
Tuna are a top predator in the marine food chain, maintaining a balance in
the ocean environment.
4. Kingdom : Animalia
Phylum : Chordata
Class : Actinopterygii
Order : Perciformes
Family : Scombridae
Genus : Thunnus
Subgenus : Neothunnus
Species : albacares
5. BIOLOGY
Yellowfin tuna are torpedo-shaped with dark metallic blue backs, yellow
sides, and a silver belly. They have very long anal and dorsal fins and finlets
that are bright yellow. .
They are highly migratory.
Yellowfin tuna reach a total length of 2.08 m and a maximum weight
of 200 kg. The average life span is 8 years.
STATUS:
Near Threatened
7. • Gears used :
Purse seining,
Long line,
Pole and line
• Spawning occurs primarily at night, at sea surface temperatures above 24–25°C
8. OVERFISHING:
According to information collected by the ISSF Scientific Advisory
Committee, the Eastern Pacific stock of yellowfin is overfished and some
overfishing is occurring in the Indian Ocean.
9. BYCATCH
Since juvenile yellowfin school with adult skipjack, they are increasingly
caught as bycatch by vessels that target skipjack. The removal of these
juveniles before they have a chance to spawn could lead to fewer yellowfin in
the long term.
10. • Yellowfin tuna prey include other fish, pelagic crustaceans and squid.
• Like all tunas, their body shape is particularly adapted for speed, enabling
them to pursue and capture fast-moving baitfish such as flyingfish, sauries,
and mackerel.
• Schooling species such as myctophids or lanternfish and similar pelagic
driftfish, anchovies, and sardines are frequently taken.
DIET AND PREDATION
11. • Large yellowfins prey on smaller members of the tuna family such as frigate
mackerel and skipjack tuna.
• Yellowfins are able to escape most predators, because unlike most fish, tuna
are warm-blooded, and their warm muscles make them extremely strong
swimmers, with yellowfin tuna reaching "speeds of up to 50 miles per hour".
(They can navigate enormous distances, sometimes crossing entire oceans.)
12.
13. The study of food and feeding in yellowfin tuna becomes very important
not only in using the data to evolve improved exploitation strategy but
also to understand the substantial structural changes brought about in the
ecosystem when they are removed by fishing.
IMPORTANCE
14. Reports on the food and feeding of T. albacares from Indian waters were
mostly based on specimens collected onboard exploratory research
cruises and generally confined to the fishes from island systems of India
(Silas et al., 1985; Sudarshan et al., 1991;
Vijaykumaran et al., 1992; John and Sudarshan, 1993; Pillai
et al., 1993; John, 1995, 1998; Govindraj et al., 2000;
Premchand and Chogale, 2003, Sivaraj et al., 2003).
15. This paper discusses in detail the feeding and the different prey items
constituting the food of T. albacares landed by commercial
fishermen operating hooks and line in the oceanic waters
along the east coast of India.
OBJECTIVE
17. cut open and the entire stomach
Stomach fullness was visually
classified into five categories
The average intensity of feeding
was evaluated by point’s method
The collected stomachs were
kept frozen at -20 oC
each stomach sample was
thawed and drained.
weight of the stomach taken
18. • Different items constituting one category were sorted and counted
• For each item, identifiable organs were used to determine the number of prey
present in the stomach.
• Prey items if consumed just before capture could be easily identified up to
species level.
•
19. • In case of partially digested fish, the number of mandibles, parasphenoids or
the maximum number of either right or left otoliths was assumed to reflect
the total number of prey.
• For partially digested cephalopods, the number of either upper or lower beak
was taken into account.
• In the case of partially digested crustaceans, telsons,cephalo-thorax or claws
were counted.
20. • IRI:
• This index is useful in evaluating the relative importance of
various food items. Based on the frequency of occurrence,
number and volume of each item, this can be determined by:
• IRI = (% N + %V) %F
• where, N = Numerical percentage
• V = Volumetric percentage
• F = Frequency of occurrence percentage
22. • The size distribution of yellowfin tuna whose stomachs were examined ranged
from 67cm to 174 cm with mode at 130 cm and mean length at 135.3 cm
• The food contents formed 0.1 to 1.4% of the wet body weight.
24. • On an average, 97 g of prey were found per stomach. Fish dominated the
diet by occurrence (65.1 %), and crustaceans by number (47.2 %)
25.
26.
27. • Observations on the food composition of T. albacares as revealed from the
stomach contents analysis showed that teleost fish, crabs, squids and shrimps
were the major component of food items.
• Squid beaks were found in stomachs of T. albacares and were useful in
determining the food item diversity.
• Generally, beaks resist digestion by top predators for longer periods and
continue to get accumulated in the stomach much after the muscle tissues have
been digested.
28. Bigg and Fawcett (1985) suggested, the presence of only beaks was not
considered as component of stomach diet for the day.
Kornilova (1981) observed that fishes were the most important prey by weight for
yellowfin tuna in the equatorial zone of the Indian Ocean.
Alverson (1963) too reported that the major food items in the stomach contents of
yellowfin tuna from the eastern tropical Pacific was fish (46.9% of total volume) and
crustaceans (45.4%) with cephalopods forming Feeding strategies and diet composition
of yellowfin tuna
29. • As is the case with any apex predator, T. albacares hunts actively for its prey.
The food chain and transfer of energy can be depicted as:
• phytoplankton→ smallzooplankton→ euphausiids→ micronektonic fishes→ T.
albacares from long line.
• This food chain has a food source restricted only to the biomass which stays
between 0-450 m during daytime and often supplemented by the diurnally
migrating deep scattering layer (DSL) organisms.
• The role and catchability of the vertically migrating mesopelagic fauna which
are responsible for the DSL, by surface predators is not well understood.
30. • The micronekton defined as “assemblage of actively swimming
crustaceans, cephalopods and fishes ranging from 1-10 cm in greatest
dimension” form an integral part of the DSL and plays a great role as prey
to oceanic pelagics (Menon, 2004).
They generally feed during daytime, feeding primarily on near-surface fishes, squids,
and swimming crabs (Buck1997) with intense predatory activity during the dawn and
sunset (Roger and Grandperrin, 1976).
Research conducted by Inter American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) indicate that
yellowfin tuna are generalist feeders and do not seek out specific prey species.
31. Menon (2004) and Karuppasamy and Menon (2005) have reported that
along the east coast of India, micronektonic biomass was abundant in
the depth realm below 300 m with swarming crabs (C. smithii), shrimps
(S. hextii), cephalopods (S. oualaniensis) and myctophids being more
abundant at a depth of 0-100 m.
Roger and Grandperrin (1976) and Potier et al. (2004) have reported that the
micronektonic fish component preyed upon by longline yellowfin tuna are almost
epipelagic fishes and not the vertically migrating micronektonic fishes which are the
main constituents of the DSL
32. • The occurrence of small prey such as Brachyuran megalopa in the stomach of
yellowfin tuna may be related to their availability in the vicinity and food
selectivity of the gill rakers as suggested by Magnuson and Heitz (1971).
CONCLUSION:
• Teleost fish, crabs, squids and shrimps were the major component of food
items.
• Priacanthus hamrur,Charybdis smithii.
