Foreword Preface

It gives me great pleasure that List of M.Sc. Dissertations and Ph.D. Abstracts in Zoology has been published. The book contains 766 Research is the main component in addition to teaching in university thesis titles of M.Sc. and 11 Ph.D. produced from Tribhuvan University. education. The Central Department of Zoology (CDZ), Tribhuvan University Theses titles, name of student, T.U. registration number, batch number (TU) has been conducting research since its establishment in 1965. Entomology and name of supervisor(s) are included with abstract of 11 Ph.D. was only the major specialization in initial phase and other specializations viz. dissertations. I am happy to learn that faculties of the zoology department Fish & Fisheries, Ecology and Parasitology started in 1968, 1978 and 1985 supervised such a wide range subjects in the field of Zoology within four respectively. The dissertation was made compulsory to all the M.Sc. students major specializations- Entomology Fish & Fisheries, Ecology and under the new education system after 1973-74. Later in lieu of dissertation was Parasitology. Wide range of topics are grouped under separate headings added which was not successful and again after a few years dissertation was made such as , Anatomy, Biology, Faunal diversity and Ecology, compulsory to all the students. The first M.Sc. dissertation in Zoology was Parasites, Pest, Pesticides, Diseases, Aquatic life and aquaculture, submitted in 1974. Since then 766 M.Sc. and 11 Ph.D. theses have been awarded Environment, Pollution, Environmental assessment, Ethno-biology, Eco- in Zoology by TU. Many students publish their work in national and international tourism and National parks. I appreciate the dedication and hard work of journals; however, majority of work remain unpublished. Efforts are still made to all the faculty members of zoology for supervising students of various upgrade the standard of the research and to publish quality papers in international fields within extremely limited resources and facilities available. journals. The manpower produced by the department join every year in foreign This publication will help to provide easy access on the work universities and are gaining advance degrees. done by M.Sc. and PhD. students of the Central Department of Zoology The large number of our research work has not been adequately and gives an idea on the research gaps as well as helps in avoiding the disseminated. Hence, this publication which includes the List of the M.Sc. duplication of works. I hope that this will be highly useful not only to dissertation titles and Ph.D. Abstracts in Zoology awarded from Tribhuvan students of zoology but teachers as well as other scientists to work in University is ultimately decided to publish in cooperation with CDZ, TU and related fields of zoology. Nepal Zoological Society (NZS). I am extremely thankful to Prof. Dr. Vasant K. I congratulate Prof. Dr. V.K. Thapa for initiating this task and Thapa (former Head of the department) for initiating the work. My young Mr. Prem Bahadur Budha for his painstaking job in completing the work. colleague Mr. Prem B. Budha was entrusted to enlist all available theses together I wish the continuation of other such publications in near future also. with other information. The painstaking efforts of both the authors have given this form to this work. It is very hard task to find all information because of the missing and unavailability of all awarded theses. It is obvious that there are still some missing titles of the thesis which will be updated in later editions together Prof. Dr. Jiwan Shrestha with the abstracts of the dissertation. I highly appreciate the contributions made for this publication by the authors, colleagues, students and administrative staff of Chairperson the department. Nepal Zoological Society (NZS) I am also thankful to Prof. Dr. Jiwan Shrestha (Chairperson, Nepal Former Head of CDZ, TU, Zoological Society) for writing Foreword and for joint publication of this work Kirtipur with the CDZ. This publication will definitely provide a good deal of assistance and will enhance in further research in Zoology in Nepal. We shall feel amply rewarded if this work proves helpful to the students and researchers.

Dr. Ranjana Gupta Professor and Head Central Department of Zoology, Tribhuvan University Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal i ii

Despite our efforts to incorporate all theses, some theses are still missing due to Editorial unavailability of the original documents. All thesis titles have been arranged into sub headings under major specialization but due to similar work the proper specialization of some work are shifted to another. This is particularly in case of The Central Department of Zoology, Tribhuvan University (CDZ, TU) Ecology and Fish & Fisheries. We will try to correct and incorporate missing is one of the leading natural sciences departments in Nepal. Higher education in records in the next edition. We will appreciate if someone provides corrections Zoology under Tribhuvan University has been started since 1965. The main and the missing information. objectives of higher education in Zoology are to i) make the degree more relevant This publication includes thesis titles, authors' name and supervisor(s)' to the professional needs and to national development, ii) upgrade the quality of name, TU registration number, Batch and date of the thesis award and abstracts of students to compete with other universities, iii) provide advanced knowledge in Ph.D. dissertations. Out of 766 M.Sc. theses in four major specializations the area of their specialization such as Entomology, Fish and Fisheries, Ecology includes Entomology (92): Fish and fisheries (212), Ecology (329) and and Parasitology, iv) make students capable of exploring fauna independently, v) Parasitology (133). Within each of these subjects subheadings and author's familiarize students with various techniques applied in Zoology research, and vi) surnames are arranged alphabetically. make aware students with environmental problems at local and global scale. We are very thankful to Prof. Dr. Ranjana Gupta (Head, Central Nepal is Himalayan biodiversity hotspot but we have many unexplored Department of Zoology) and Prof. Dr. J. Shrestha (Former head of the Central areas. Nepalese zoologists who are working on taxonomy are far apart from the Department of Zoology and Chairperson Nepal Zoological Society) for their global scientific communities that make difficult to them to explore and name continuous support to conduct this work. Similarly, we are also thankful to unknown fauna of the country. Most of the researches on new descriptions of Krishnamani Bhandari Chief Librarian of the Central Library for providing Nepalese fauna were done by foreign scientists and involvement of Nepalese library database on M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses. Likewise, we are highly appreciate scientists is nearly at the nix in the current situation. The latest screening of Sita Ram of Dean's office, Institute of Science and Technology, Tribhuvan available literature increases the number of reported from Nepal by 127 University, Deputy director, Office of the Controller of Examination, Balkhu and percent from 1998 to 2009. More than 100 percent increase in the number of other involved officials for providing required information and missing theses. mollusc species of Nepal than the data found in the last decades. The involvement We would like to thank all teaching faculties of this department, administrative of Nepalese taxonomy in these new descriptions is almost negligible. This is the staff and students for their support in different stages of information collection. serious problem and default of our education system and national plan and policy. This publication is a compilation of scattered information in one University level research and education (Master and Ph.D.) can upgrade our volume. It is hoped that this publication will help to disseminate the knowledge knowledge on different subjects in Zoology. on different aspects of Zoology and strengthen further academic activities. The first M.Sc. batch in Zoology started from 1966 with three students Finally, we appreciate your evaluation to upgrade the publication. with entomology as specialization. Fish and Fisheries started from 3rd batch onward in 1968 with five students. Other two specializations in Ecology and Parasitology started in 1978 and 1985 respectively. It took almost 8 years to Prem Bahadur Budha introduce research in M.Sc. programmes. The first dissertation was submitted in Vasant Kumar Thapa 1974. Introduction of in lieu of dissertation was also introduced which was not Central Department of Zoology effective. Later dissertation was made compulsory to all the students. M.Sc. Tribhuvan University dissertations to date in this publication specializing in various subjects of zoology include abiotic and biotic environment such as water quality, air pollution, solid waste and effluent management, pesticide; ecological studies of species and habitat; parasitic diseases and their status; faunal diversity and population of birds, amphibians & reptiles, mammals; ethnobiology; conservation biology; park people conflicts, invasive species, ecotourism etc . This compilation consists abstract of 11 Ph.D. and title of 766 M.Sc. theses. Abstracts of early Ph.D. dissertations before 1995 were taken from the summary available in the thesis. Efforts have made to include information of the students related to thesis such as TU registration number, batch of the student, name of supervisor (s) and title of the thesis including completion date. The dates are written in both A.D. and B.S. English date is in dd/mm/year while the BS date is in year/mm/dd format. It is really very difficult to generate information. iii iv

Abstract: The present investigation has been undertaken considering the

lack of information about the helminth parasites of vertebrates of Kathmandu valley and due to its topography and climatic condition. As such, this is the systematic study during the years 1966-70 of some helminth parasites of vertebrates viz. fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Thirty-six parasites have been described in the present thesis, belonging to ten orders and ninteen families, out of which eleven new species and two sub-species are new additions to the science of helminthology and the rest are redescriptions and most of them are reported for the first time from this regions.

The present thesis is divided into four chapters, chapter I, II, and III deals with nematodes, trematodes and cestodes respectively and chapter IV deals with effect of temperature on the free living stages of Oesophagostomum columbianum.

Abstracts 62 genera and 114 species have been collected, identified and systematically classified according to Berg (1947). Eighteen species are the new records and two very new species and one subspecies have been reported Holotype and paratype specimens have been very carefully studied. The redescription of 114 species, their local name, fin formula, diagnostic characters, and distribution pattern including their synonyms has been given. The site of collection of each species has been depicted in map of Nepal. Besides, other important relevant chapters such as sources of fish supply, exotic fishes and fishes of economic importance, pond culture in Nepal, fish catching methods, fish ecology in general are also included in the thesis.

The monthly the family Leguminosae (Spatholobus parviflorus) from which langurs eat and annual records of temperature, humidity, light and precipitation nearly all parts (36.10% of feeding time). The annual distribution of the records from each climatic station of all districts have been analyzed to feeding time reveals seasonality, peakingin the winter months and the assess important abiotic factors. Impacts occurring from land use pattern, lowest values are found in spring and in rainy season. Feeding time is socio-development and population growth are also discussed, with negatively correlated with the mean temperature (rs=-0.902, p<0.001). evidences of observation from this research area. Furthermore, The real intake of food in gram provides further information about langur deforestation and industrialization in the process of progressive feeding behaviour: a long feeding time does not necessarily result in high development are one of the causes for slowly but steadily increasing food intake. The feedig time for instance was higest in winter but the real pollution. intake was low and the reverse holds true for spring and the rainy season. The main focus was given on distribution situation and the human impacts The chemical analsis of the food parts reveal that the langur's food on herpetofauna. Systematic study down to species level of amphibians selection is guided by the high proportion of protein and sugar. The high (Gymnophiona, Caudata, Anura) and reptiles (Chelonia, Sauria, percentage of tannins taken at the same time does not seem to effect food Serpentes and Crocodylia) was made. In ethonologic aspect, the tribal selection. Feeding time as well as the total food intake was not different zoological names were collected from studied zones. Besides this, for the different rank classes of adult males and females.

A total of seventy one species of zooplankton were number of inflorescence per plant, total number of flowers per terminal recorded. The lentic water bodies supported a higher species richness inflorescence per plant, total number of grains per terminal inflorescence constituing seventy species whereas the lotic water bodies constituted per plant, total number of grains per plant, harvest index, fertility, test only seven species of zooplankton. All investigated zooplanktons Rotifera, weight, grain yield per plant and total dry matter per plant. Cladocera and Copepoda were found contagiously distributed in all lentic The insect pollinators collected at the three experimental sites: Lower water bodies. In the Bagmati river, rotifers were recorded only in the Mustang 2480 m, Kirtipur, Kathmandu 1400 m and Central Chitwan 345 upstream. Cladocerans and copepods predominated upstream (74%) and m representing different geo-ecological belts revealed: prevalence of 39 mid stream (70%) respectively. Species richness was found higher in species belonging to 3 orders and 16 families of class Insecta. These Godavari fish fond (36 species) than Taudah lake (35 species), included 16 species of Hymenoptera, 4 species of Lepidoptera and 19 Siddhapokhari (34 species) and Nagpokhari (26 species). The water species of Diptera. quality of the Bagmati river was found to be deteriorated from upstream A. cerana workers foraged on buckwheat flowers for 9.48±0.011 h each to downstream and the concentration of chemical load was lower in rainy day from 06.14±0.004 h to 17.28±0.011 h with maximum foraging activity season. A singficant positive correlation was observed between the between 08.30 h to 10.30 h and 11.30 h to 13.30 h when the environmental abundance of zooplankton and orthophosphate contents in Siddhapokhari temperature ranged between 200 to 210 C. A. cerana spent maximum time and also in between the abundance of zooplankton and free carbondioxide on buckwheat inflorescence at 2.46 h, 5.46 h and 8.46 h after sunrise and content in Godavari fish pond whereas significant negative correlation that decreased as the afternoon approached. was observed in between the abundance of zooplankton and temperature Multiple comparison tests corroborated that CP treatment showed strong in Taudah lake, Godavari fish pond and Nagpokhari in between the significant difference with BP treatment. Similarly, OP treatment also abundance of zooplankton and pH in Godavari fish pond and Nagpokhari showed significant difference with BP treatment. Quantitative and and aslo in between the abundance of zooplankton and orthophosphate in qualitative effects of A. cerana showed decreased yield and large Taudah Lake. percentage of wrinkled grain set 5.32± 0.39) in the CP treatment due to lower fertility percentage. BP treatment showed higher grains yield 777. Ranjit, Ramola Ecological study of Ichtyofauna in (169.76 ± 4.10) owing to increased fertility percentage. Correlation Supervisor: U.K. Yadav upper , 2010. coefficient also revealed significant (P< 0.01) positive correlation with Abstract: The ecological affinity of fish speceis was studied in upper grain yield per plant in all three treatments. Fertility percentages showed Sunkoshi river one of the feeder drainages to Sunkoshi basin. The study significant (P>0.01) positive correlation with total number of grains per was carried out during 2001 and 2002 confining within 1656 m at terminal inflorescence (r= 0.683), total number of grains per plant (r= Tatopani to 155 m at Hambupa, Tribeni. A total of 12 sampling sites were 0.179) and harvest index (r= 0.274) in the treatment with BP. Similar investigated among which 11 sites were selected from upper Sunkoshi and significant positive correlation of fertility was obtained with these traits in a 12th site from lower Sunkoshi for comparison. It is a rhithron type of other treatments as well. This study concluded that higher number of drainage having temperate climate in Bhotekoshi reach and subtropical grains per plant; higher fertility percentage and higher grain yield with in middle reach and at site 12. The water quality has showed spatial as higher harvest index of the common buckwheat F. esculentum crop. well as seasonal variations following river continnum concept viz. coldwater in upper Sunkoshi and coolwater at site 12. It was slightly 776. Vaidya, Sunil Ram Ecological study on zooplankton of alkaline, rich in dissolved oxygen, soft, mesotrophic and medium Supervisor: U.K. Yadav some freshwater bodies of Kathmandu productive so may be considered within the permissible range and valley with reference to water quality conducive for fish life where higher velocity, higher turbidity, unusual assessment (UKY), 2066.08.25 BS spates and floods were natural hazards. (2009). Altogether 63 fishes were collected of which 39 species were recorded Abstract: The present investigation was carried out in Bagmati river, from upper Sunkoshi and 57 at site 12. In upper Sunkoshi Schizothorax Taudah lake, Nagpokhari pond, Siddhapokhari pond and Godawari fish richardsoni has predominated with Schizothoraichthys progastus and pond of the Kathmandu valley from May 2000 to April 2002. Monthly Barilius barila whereas B. vagra, Tor putitora, Aspidiparia morar, 106 107

Labeo dyocheilus, Neolissocheilus hexagonolepis, Chagunius chagunio and Labeo dero were all dominant at site 12. Thus, the Bhotekoshi reach (>1000m) considered as S. richardsoni zone, middle reach (1000-650m) as mix zone of S. richardsoni and S. progastus and site 12 (155m) as Barilus sp. zone. In the river phytoplankton, zooplankton, periphyton and macro-invertebrate were recorded by 50, 14, 10 and 41 species respectively. Phytoplankton seems to be related with water temperature, still waters, turbidity and nutrients availability. Equally, zooplankton has consequences with water temperature, velocity, turbidity and phytoplankton abundance. However periphyton was found related with water temperature, substrate structure, shallow river edges and nutrients level while macro invertebrate appears to be related with water temperature, velocity, substrate structure, water levels and peiphyton abundance. The biotic components including fish showed biomodal peaks in spring and in early autumn. The upper Sunkoshi river provides microhabitat guilds for fishes where water temperature was found the main limiting variable. So fish catch was lower in upper reach that increases downstream with species richness. On the basisi of water temperature preferences S. richardsoni, S. progastus, Diptychus maculatus, Garra sp., Psilorhynchoides pseudecheneis, Myerseglanis blythi, Glyptothorax sp., and Pseudechenies sulcatus may be considered as cold-stenothermic. Likely, N. hexagonolepis, C. chanunio, Labeo sp., Tor sp., Naziritor chelynoides, Aspidoparia sp., Barilius sp., Salmostoma bacaila, Crossocheilus latius, Schistura sp., Botia sp., Anguilla bengalensis, Aorichthys sp.,. Clupisoma garua, Pseudeutropius murius, Bagarius yarrelli, Gagata cenia and Channa stewartii may be considered as warm-stenothermic while Cirrhinus reba, Puntius sp., Lepidocephalus guntea, Mystus tengara, Wallgo attu, Ailia coila, Xenentodon cancila, Channa sp., and Badis badis as warm eurythermic. Likewise, current velocity was also observed always as limiting varaible where S. richardsoni, S. progasuts, D. maculatus, P. pseudecheneis, G. cenia, Garra sp..Glyptothorax sp., M. blythi, P. sulcatus etc could be considered as rheophilic in nature and N. hexagonolepis, C. chagunio, C. reba, Puntius sp., Labeo sp., Tor sp., N. chelynoides, Aspidoparia sp., Barilus sp., C. latius, S. baaila, Schistura sp., Nemacheilus corica, Botia sp., A. bengalensis, Aorichtyys sp., P. murius, C. garua, B. yarrelli, Channa sp., and B. badis as eutytopic. Fishes prefereed heterogenous riverbed. Fishes Schixzothorax spp. were found sensitive to turbidity while Barilius sp., C, latius and Channa sp, were turbidity tolerant. P. pseudecheneis was found phytoplankton feeder and L. guntea a true zooplankton feeder. Several fishes were observed insectivores, some were carnivore and few were detriovers too exhibiting resource partitioning among them in food stuffs.

Scope of Zoology in Nepal: Faunal Inventories Constraints, Tamang, Ganesh · 57 Upadhaya, Narendra Kumar · 52 Tamang, Kirti Man · 60 Upadhaya, Rekha · 57 Challenges and Opportunities Tamang, Pradip · 57 Upadhaya, Subodh Kumar · 36 Prof. Dr. V.K. Thapa, Ex-Head, Central Department of Zoology and Mr. Tamrakar, Deb, Kreeshana · 82 Upadhya, Radha Krishna · 68 P.B. Budha, CDZ Tamrakar, Pratima · 42 Upadhyaya, Jayant Kumar · 6 The paper intends to present historical developments in zoological advancement Tamrakar, Sarita · 40 Upadhyaya, Leela Raj · 9 in Nepal. History of Zoological Science Education in Nepal goes back to 1918 Tapol, Rojan · 64 Upadhyaya, Maya · 81 AD with the establishment of Trichandra College. The Zoology course has begun Thakulla, Hem Bahadur · 48 Updhaya, Thaneswar · 57 in 1947 for I.Sc. following the syllabus of Patna University (PU), India. The PU Thakur, Ajaya Kumar · 25 Uprety, Hari Krishna · 73 syllabus continued for B.Sc. level till the establishment of Tribhuvan University Thakur, Ajoy Kumar · 23 Uprety, Mohan Kumar · 84 (TU), which was established in 1959 with the faculty of Management and Thakur, Shital · 46 Humanities. But the Master level course of Zoology started in 1965 in a small Thakuri, Jyotendra Jyu · 51 V museum of Trichandra college, Ghantaghar, later shifted to Kirtipur in 1967. Thapa Chettri, Damodar · 70 After 1973 courses of I.Sc., B.Sc. and M.Sc. level were revised. I.Sc. level syllabus Thapa, Rakshya · 70 Vaidya, Sunil Ram · 103 is still the same but the B.Sc. and M. Sc. curriculum were revised two times in Thapa, Amber Bahadur · 36 Vaijoo, Anu · 7 1999 and 2009 respectively. Recently there are four major specializations in Thapa, Duk Bahadur · 38 Verma, Vidya Sagar · 84 Zoology at Master level- Entomology (1965), Fish and Fisheries (1968), Ecology Thapa, Ganesh Bahadur · 24 (1976) and Parasitology (1985). Till date (2065) 10 PhD and about 1600 M.Sc. Thapa, Ishana · 52 W products are produced from this University. Thapa, Moon · 6 Woli, Bir Bahadur · 70 Although Nepal is Himalaya Biodiversity Hotspot, many areas are still Thapa, Neela · 42 unexplored. Nepalese zoologists have not yet received merits in exploring fauna Thapa, Rajendra · 90 due to poor infrastructure, lacking sound policy, research oriented higher Thapa, Raju · 44 Y education and updated knowledge, and employment opportunities. The latest Thapa, Ramesh Singh · 3 Yadav, Ballif Kumar · 62 (2009) review of Insects and Malaco-fauna of Nepal shows that there are many Thapa, Ratna Bahadur · 8 Yadav, Dani Prasad · 59 new descriptions have been made in science from Nepalese materials. Number of Thapa, Sunila · 90 Yadav, Mahendra Prasad · 47 insects reported from Nepal has increased by 127% from 1998 to 2009. Among Thapa, Tej Bahadur · 42 Yadav, Nagendra Prasad · 28 them more than 25% species are new to science. Likewise, there are about 200 Thapa, Vasant Kumar · 99 Yadav, Raghu Nath · 38 species of molluscs reported from Nepal including many endemic fauna. Most of Thapa, Vinod Kumar · 10 Yadav, Rajendra Prasad · 2 these descriptions were made by none Nepalese, but there is not any government Tharu, Hari Narayan Majhi · 90 Yadav, Rajesh Kumar · 85 agency established in the country to facilitate and explore Nepalese fauna. With a Theengh, Lak Tsheden · 13 Yadav, Ram Kumar · 47 limited resource our Master level students have been doing research on wider Timilsina, Ganesh · 45 Yadav, Ramesh Kumar · 21 range of topics under these four specializations such as Biodiversity, Ecology, Timilsina, Laxmi Prasad · 66 Yadav, Satya · 90 Pollution, Conservation of Wild animals, Parasites and diseases, Ethnobiology, Timilsina, Nilesh · 67 Yadav, Shiva Nand · 38 Ecotourism, Environmental assessments, Pest and pesticides and so on. There are Tiwari, Devendra Prasad · 66 Yadav, Shiva Ram · 36 several areas in the government sector to involve zoology manpower but our Tiwari, Ram Bahadur · 36 Yakha, Tek Bahadur · 60 university products are not getting appropriate opportunities due to defect in Tiwari, Shree Prasad · 95 Yonzon, Prahlad · 26 government-university connection. This paper therefore has tried to highlight the Tiwary, Pankaj Kumar · 82 potentiality of zoological science for the sustainable development of the country.

This will certainly encourage participants in the National Seminar to make unity

Fish production from culture practices and capture fisheries reached 2. Maintenance before mitigation and Adaptation 48750 m tons in 2065-2066. The per capita fish production is reported to be 1700 g and projected to reach 3000g by the year 2018. At present, fisheries account for Dr. Pralad Yonzon, Chairman, Resources Himalaya a little over 2% of the Aquaculture share of the Gross Domestic Product – AGDP. Fisheries Development Activities collectively benefited about 3% of the total To exact impact of climate change on biodiversity is difficult because it is population (total population is estimated at approximately 26 million in the gradual. Given the scale of uncertainty in change at local level and the coarse country). scale of global climate models, science of change on biodiversity has ranged from best educated guess to formative data gathering in south Asia. But it will 4. Basic and Applied Parasitology Knowledge Gained could certainly affect every aspect of evolutionary biology. Since late 80s, the World has moved into climate change mitigation and away from it in 2007 for Contribute on Global Issues of Zoology adaptation. By doing so, we have created two schools of thoughts. Given these, Dr. Durga Datt Joshi, Executive Chairman, National Zoonoses and Food Nepal needs to be in both to protect biodiversity. Climate change can be best Hygiene Research Centre (NZFHRC) explained by ecosystem diversity. As long as diverse ecosystems are large, stable, and jealously guarded from any man-made changes, biodiversity maintenance at Five major topics related to the Parasitology have been identified for the best is in place for adaptive measures. Therefore, Nepal needs revisit to tackle presentation in the National Seminar of Zoology. As a basic and applied subject, hard tasks ahead. scope and importance of following five broad topics of Parasitology are: Parasitology as a pure basic science, and applied science, Eco-system health approach, Epidemiological research and surveillance database system, and 3. Aquaculture and Fisheries an opportunity for livelihood improvement Interrelationship among the different courses or degrees given or provided by the existing different universities of the country. Mr. Kishore Upadhya, Chief, Directorate of Fisheries Development, Balaju From this type of educational practices the scope of zoological science will be increased, strengthened and not limited in one area but expanded. Nepal is endowed with vast inland water resources in the form of rivers, lakes, swamps, man made ponds and reservoirs estimated at 0.82 million hectares 5. Pollinators Diversity and Agriculture Sustainability covering 3% of the total land area and a little over 1% of the total water resources available is utilized for aquaculture development in the country. Prof. Dr. Resham Bahadur Thapa, Institute of Agriculture and Animal Aquaculture in Nepal has a very short history. Fish production here is restricted Sciences (IAAS), Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal to fresh water aquaculture and traditional inland capture fisheries because of the land locked situation. Fish culture is one of the important aquaculture activities Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male parts of the flower to the female under Agriculture Development in Nepal. More significant progress of fish part of the same or a different flower, which is performed by different pollinators. culture was only seen from the beginning of the 1980s with execution of Of the total pollination activities, over 80% is performed by insects alone and Aquaculture Development Project supported by the Asian Development Bank bees contribute nearly 80% of the total insect pollination, and therefore, they are (ADB) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Fisheries and considered the best pollinators. In fact, pollination is a keystone process in aquaculture development represents largely untapped resource in Nepal and human managed and natural terrestrial ecosystem, where over 20,000 flowering there is ample scope and opportunity with regard to land and water bodies plants depends on pollination and over 30,000 species of insects are effective available for increased production by improved technology and management. pollinators including bees, beetles, moths, flies, wasps, butterflies etc. About 100 In the view of the significant dietary, socio – cultural and economic crop species provide 90% of national per capita food supplies for 146 countries, contribution occurring from fisheries development, a long-term Fisheries of which 71 species are bee-pollinated and several other by many other insects. Perspective Plan (FPP – 20years) has been developed for effective management Management of wide diversities of pollinators and flowering plant species help to of the fisheries resources. Government of Nepal has accorded priority in maintain diversity of flora and fauna, thereby in crop pollination, crop recognition of its commercialization potential. The major fish culture systems productivity and food security in the service of mankind. adopted is pond culture, cage and enclosure culture, rice fish culture, fish culture in marginal swamps and ghols.
