1. The different feeding habits of fish are:
- Herbivores - feed exclusively on plant materials
- Carnivores - feed exclusively on animal matter
- Omnivores - derive nutrients from both plants and animals
- Planktivores - feed on plankton like bacteria, algae, etc.
- Detritivores - feed on decaying organic matter
2. The feeding behaviors of fish are:
- Predators - actively hunt and pursue prey using vision, smell, etc.
- Grazers - feed on bottom organisms by browsing and nibbling continuously
- Strainers - filter feeders that filter organisms from water
Fish breeding requires mature male and female fish in a suitable environment and season. There are two types of fish breeding: natural breeding which occurs instinctually in nature, and artificial breeding where humans control the environment and induce breeding. Factors that influence fish breeding include endocrine control, environmental conditions, physiological processes, nutrition status, stress levels, and ecological factors. Hormones released by the hypothalamus and pituitary glands govern key reproductive processes. Environmental conditions like temperature, photoperiod, tides, and water parameters also impact breeding. Physiological changes and energy mobilization are regulated by hormones as well.

The major frog species farmed are Rana tigrina, R. hexadectyla and R. cressa, with R. tigrina contributing 75% of exports. Frog farming can provide economic benefits and frogs help control mosquitos and maintain environmental balance.
This document discusses fish diseases categorized into parasitic, nutritional, protozoan, helminth, crustacean, fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases. It provides detailed information on the causative agents, symptoms, and recommended treatments for various diseases that affect fish, such as ichthyophthiriasis, costiasis, whirling disease, gyrodactylus, saprolegniasis, furunculosis, tuberculosis, and infectious pancreatic necrosis. The document is authored by Dr. K. Rama Rao and appears to be a reference text on fish pathology and diseases.
This document provides an overview of fish classification and types. It discusses the three main classes of fish: Agnatha (jawless fish such as lampreys and hagfish), Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish like sharks and rays), and Osteichthyes (bony fish including over 20,000 species such as salmon and tuna). Key details are provided on characteristics like respiration, circulation, adaptations, and reproduction for the different fish classes. Examples of specific fish species are also mentioned like coelacanth, cichlids, pufferfish, and fugu.
This document discusses fish and shellfish diseases. It defines pathology as the study of disease and causative agents. Diseases occur due to changes in the environment that disrupt the balance between hosts, pathogens, and the environment. There are two types of pathogens - obligate pathogens that always cause disease when present, and opportunistic pathogens that only cause disease when other stressors are present. Stress is defined as the body's response to maintain homeostasis in response to forces, and the general adaptation syndrome describes the three stages of alarm reaction, resistance, and exhaustion that organisms go through in response to stressors. Inflammation is also discussed, including the signs in higher vertebrates and the inflammatory response in fish. Acute and chronic
Closed fishing seasons are imposed during spawning periods to protect fish populations from overexploitation. They allow fish to spawn and replenish stocks without fishing pressure. Historically, closed seasons developed in India through conflicts between small-scale and mechanized fishing fleets over access to resources. States implemented varying closed seasons, undermining conservation efforts. Eventually, a uniform 61-day ban was implemented across India's exclusive economic zone to regulate fishing pressure and coordinate management across state waters. Closed seasons aim to sustain fishery resources and livelihoods but can economically impact fishermen during the ban period when alternative incomes are limited in coastal areas.
This document summarizes several common diseases that affect fish, including dropsy, tail/fin rot, eye diseases, furunculosis, costiasis, white spot, fungal diseases, and swim bladder disease. It describes the causes and symptoms of each disease as well as recommended treatment and control methods to cure infections and prevent their spread. Maintaining clean water and proper nutrition are important for fish health and to avoid disease outbreaks. Left untreated, many of these diseases can cause severe illness or death in infected fish.
Hybridization refers to breeding between different species or genera of fish. It commonly occurs naturally in fish since they release eggs and sperm into water, allowing for external fertilization. This has led to many natural hybrids being found among closely related fish families that live in the same habitats. Artificial hybridization is also used in aquaculture to combine desirable traits from parent species. Outcomes can be diploid or triploid hybrids with intermediate characteristics.

This document provides information about hereditary fish diseases presented by a student group. It discusses several hereditary diseases including dropsy caused by bacteria or viruses, fish tuberculosis caused by mycobacteria bacteria, deformities which can be hereditary or due to environmental factors, albinism which is a genetic lack of pigmentation, tumors and cancers which can be due to genetic or viral factors, and eye diseases like fish-eye disease which is an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations in the LCAT gene. Causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatments are described for each condition.
This document discusses different types of fishing methods. It begins by defining fishing and fishing equipment. There are two main types of fishing: without gear (hand fishing) and with gear (gear fishing). Fishing methods that use gear include nets, traps, line fishing, fish attraction devices, and electrical fishing. The most common fishing method is net fishing, which accounts for 67% of fishing in India and 54% worldwide. Other major fishing methods include fish screening, fish trapping, and line fishing. The document provides details on specific net fishing techniques like gill nets, purse seines, and trawls. It also describes traps, line fishing, and the use of fish attraction devices.
This document provides information about carp culture and the selection of major carps for aquaculture. It discusses that carp culture is one of the oldest forms of aquaculture and major carps like Catla catla, Labeo rohita, and Cirrhina mrigala contribute over 85% of aquaculture production in India. The document outlines various factors to consider for site selection such as soil type, water availability, and proximity to markets. It also provides details on pond construction and conditioning, and criteria for selecting suitable carps for culture like growth rate, tolerance levels, and consumer preference.
Transport of hatchlings, fry, and fingerlings is common in aquaculture. Proper techniques involve understanding fish physiology and mortality causes during transport. Seed can be collected from wild or hatcheries. Major carps are collected from flooded rivers during monsoon season. Seed from estuaries and coastal waters include milkfish, mullets, pearlspot, and seabass. Bundhs are seasonal flooded areas that stimulate breeding. Induced spawning techniques breed species that don't spawn in captivity using hormones. Transport uses open or closed oxygenated systems. Factors causing mortality are oxygen depletion, waste accumulation, temperature fluctuations, and stress. Anaesthetics and antibiotics are used to reduce stress and prevent disease.

The Solar Systems passage through the Radcliffe wave during the middle MioceneS辿rgio Sacani
油
As the Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various Galactic environments, including dense regions of the
interstellar medium (ISM). These encounters can compress the heliosphere, exposing parts of the Solar System to the ISM, while also
increasing the influx of interstellar dust into the Solar System and Earths atmosphere. The discovery of new Galactic structures, such
as the Radcliffe wave, raises the question of whether the Sun has encountered any of them.
Aims. The present study investigates the potential passage of the Solar System through the Radcliffe wave gas structure over the past
30 million years (Myr).
Methods. We used a sample of 56 high-quality, young (30 Myr) open clusters associated with a region of interest of the Radcliffe
wave to trace its motion back and investigate a potential crossing with the Solar Systems past orbit.
Results. We find that the Solar Systems trajectory intersected the Radcliffe wave in the Orion region. We have constrained the timing
of this event to between 18.2 and 11.5 Myr ago, with the closest approach occurring between 14.8 and 12.4 Myr ago. Notably, this
period coincides with the Middle Miocene climate transition on Earth, providing an interdisciplinary link with paleoclimatology. The
potential impact of the crossing of the Radcliffe wave on the climate on Earth is estimated. This crossing could also lead to anomalies
in radionuclide abundances, which is an important research topic in the field of geology and nuclear astrophysics.
PROTEIN DEGRADATION via ubiquitous pathawayKaviya Priya A

Protein degradation via ubiquitous pathway In general science, a ubiquitous pathway refers to a biochemical or metabolic pathway that is:
1. *Widely present*: Found in many different organisms, tissues, or cells.
2. *Conserved*: Remains relatively unchanged across different species or contexts.
Examples of ubiquitous pathways include:
1. *Glycolysis*: The process of breaking down glucose for energy, found in nearly all living organisms.
2. *Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)*: A key metabolic pathway involved in energy production, present in many cells.
3. *Pentose phosphate pathway*: A metabolic pathway involved in energy production and antioxidant defenses, found in many organisms.
These pathways are essential for life and have been conserved across evolution, highlighting their importance for cellular function and survival.
In vitro means production in a test tube or other similar vessel where culture conditions and medium are controlled for optimum growth during tissue culture.
It is a critical step in plant tissue culture where roots are induced and developed from plant explants in a controlled, sterile environment.
際際滷 include factors affecting In-vitro Rooting, steps involved, stages and In vitro rooting of the two genotypes of Argania Spinosa in different culture media.

1. Amphios = on both sides, double; bios
= life, Amphibians means two-lives
The larval part of the life of amphibians
is spent in water, while the adult part is
spent on land.
They usually have soft, moist skin that
is protected by a slippery layer of
mucus.

Their bodies covered with
thick furs.
They have breasts that lack
nipples, but secrete milk.
These mammals are
oviparous.
