CROCODILE PROJECT ECOLOGY CONSERVATION OF CROCODILESJyotiSingh123388
The Indian Crocodile Conservation Project was launched in 1975 across several states to save three critically endangered crocodile species - gharials, muggers, and saltwater crocodiles. Through establishing breeding centers, collecting eggs from nests, incubating eggs, rearing hatchlings, and releasing juveniles, the project helped increase crocodile populations. It also contributed to broader conservation efforts and training. While the project achieved significant increases in saltwater crocodile numbers, gharial recovery in the Mahanadi River was less successful due to poor hatchling survival. The project demonstrated that with protection and management, crocodile populations could recover from the brink of extinction.

Fry production and its marketing system of North-West fisheries extension pro...AbdullaAlAsif1
In order to understand the present status of hatcheries, questionnaire interview and participatory rural appraisal tools were used in North-west Fisheries Extension Project (NFEP), Parbatipur during the period from July to December 2015. There are two hatcheries in NFEP, Parbatipur- a carp hatchery and a prawn hatchery. The production of spawn was around 611 kg in the year 2015. According to the target hatchery manager collected brood fish from rivers and other sources which he maintained in their brood stock ponds with proper management. The hatchery manager maintained proper age and weight of broods for spawning and followed the guideline of hatchery operation so that the quality of spawn and fry were good. It was found that the hatcheries produced fish seed of a variety of species such as Indian major carps, carpio, sarpunti, silver carp, grass carp, magur, shing as well as freshwater prawn. The hatchery production activities took place starting from February and continued up to September. The quantity of fish seed produce varied from 25 to 75 kg per hatching cycle depending on size and facilities of hatcheries. The price of fry in NFEP was being fixed by the hatchery manager. However, the price variation was seen due to seasonal variation, species and demand. The average price of fish seed was highest in monsoon and lowest in winter. A number of middlemen were involved in the fry marketing channel of NFEP at Parbatipur. They were responsible for increasing the price of fry at each stage of marketing channel.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW ON WILDLIFE MANAGEMENTPintu Kabiraj
Wildlife management aims to maintain desirable wildlife populations and involves understanding population trends, influencing factors, species interactions, and landscape impacts. It addresses the balance between wildlife and human activities. Approaches include modifying animal behavior, human behavior, and interactions through barriers, zoning, and reserves. Depletion results from habitat loss, pollution, and absence of shelter. Conservation approaches encompass protection by law, sanctuaries, research, education, and international agreements like CITES that regulate trade. The goal is sustainable wildlife populations and balancing human and wildlife coexistence.
Sustainable seaweed farming- A step towards one health missionForamVala
Seaweeds have many uses including as human food, animal feed, fertilizer, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. A study evaluated the antibiofilm properties of extracts from three seaweeds against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The extracts inhibited biofilm formation and eradicated mature biofilms, with green alga Ulva lactuca showing promise. Another study found that a commercially available seaweed extract improved antioxidant activity and nutritional properties of capsicum annuum peppers compared to chemical fertilizers. A meta-analysis found that feeding seaweeds to cattle increased feed efficiency, milk production and constituents, and reduced methane emissions by up to 97%, demonstrating potential benefits for livestock production.

The present study was carried out to know the artificial breeding of Ompk pabda, Heteropneustes fossilis and Pangasius hypophthalmus using pituitary gland (PG) from June to August 2014, in the hatcheries in Jessore region. Brood stock of Pangus, Shing, and Pabda was developed in the hatchery. A total of 10 hatcheries were included in the study. Brood fishes were reared in the brood rearing pond by providing artificial diet for good health and full maturation. Brood fishes were injected with PG in different months June to August. Both male and female were injected with PG. In Pabda, Shing and Pangus first PG dose was applied at 8-10, 30-35 and 1-2 mg PG/kg of body weight of females respectively. After 1 st PG dose of Pabda, Shing, and Pangus (6 hours later) female were treated with 2nd doses at 10-12, 60, 8-10 mg PG/kg of body weight, respectively. At the time of second dose of female, the males were also treated with single PG dose. The males of Pabda, Shing and Pangus were treated with 8-10, 30-35 and 1-2 mg PG/kg body weight respectively. It was observed that the female and male brood fishes eject eggs and milt within 12-14 hours respectively. Ovulation occurred in Pabda, Shing, and Pangus naturally after, 6-7 hours. The fertilized eggs of Pabda, Shing and Pangus were hatched within 22-24 hours. The temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and transparency ranged from 22-34 0 C, 6-8.5, 5-7.5 ppm and 22-32 cm of the water of brood rearing ponds respectively. The average spawn production and body weight of female Pabda, Shing and Pangus were 11500/kg and 120/gm, 21000/kg and 130/gm, 44500/kg and 3.5/kg, respectively. The average fertilization, hatching and survival rate of Pangus (80%, 73% and 64%), Shing (73%, 68% and 58%) and Pabda (78%, 65% and 60%) respectively. The male and female ratio was maintained as 1:2 for each fishes.
Three species of vultures in South Asia, including the white-rumped vulture, have seen their populations decline by over 90% in recent decades due to the use of the veterinary drug diclofenac. Diclofenac is toxic to vultures and causes kidney failure when they eat the remains of livestock treated with the drug. Conservation efforts are underway to breed vultures in captivity and ban dangerous drugs, but diclofenac contamination of the vultures' food supply still threatens their survival. International organizations like IUCN are working with countries in the region to establish protected zones and continue conservation actions to save South Asia's critically endangered vultures from extinction.

GPS provides precise location information globally in all weather conditions using a constellation of satellites. However, GPS measurements can be affected by various errors. A regular consumer GPS receiver has an accuracy of around 10 meters, while higher accuracy of a few centimeters is possible using techniques like dual frequency monitoring, relative kinematic positioning, and augmentation systems that integrate external correction information. Sources of errors include multipath interference, atmospheric delays, satellite geometry, clock errors, and receiver quality.

1) The document discusses six major mass extinctions that have occurred throughout Earth's history. These extinctions were likely caused by a combination of large asteroid impacts, flood basalt eruptions, climate change, and other environmental upheavals.
2) The most severe extinction was at the end of the Permian period about 250 million years ago, wiping out over 90% of species. This was possibly triggered by intense volcanic activity.
3) We are currently in the midst of the Holocene or Anthropocene extinction caused primarily by human activities like habitat destruction, pollution, overexploitation of resources, and invasive species. If trends continue, half of existing animal and plant species may be extinct by 2100.
The document provides an overview of the Kasaragod Bird Atlas project conducted from 2017-2018. It summarizes the goals of documenting the distribution and abundance of bird species in Kasaragod district through systematic field surveys. Over 237 species were recorded during the wet and dry seasons with help from local birders and support from the Kerala Forest Department. The data collected helps improve understanding of bird habitat use and movement patterns in the region. The success of the atlas effort was due to participation of volunteers and collaboration with local conservation groups.
