Among India, as Bengal is called ‘the land of Maach (fish) & Bhaat (rice)’, fish is very popular diet in West Bengal. Diversities of water bodies existing in the landscape of West Bengal offers wider variety of fishes too. In this booklet, we are going to focus on the relationship between fish and its environment along with observation and survey of locally available fish. Through step-wise lesson plan activities, children will be able to understand that fishes have important roles in each habitats, ponds, rivers, and rice fields etc. To study about fish is to learn about those ecosystems and its conservation. The following topic map is showing some idea how teachers/facilitators can expand lesson plan on fish. Catching Conservation Tools Traps Polutant Lifecycle Eco System Cultivation Food chain Seasonality FISH Market Price Cold storage Sea Habitat Diet Nutrition Safety Medicinal River Pond Festivals, value culture Ricefield 4 Selections from 'Basbhumi' : booklet - 10 How a Lesson Plan can be 'Creative' — A good lesson plan should provide the opportunity of discovering and searching out facts by the children themselves. Children can choose their own learning process and context. The teachers need to facilitate it only, rather than imposing an uniform style for all. The reason we call this 'creative' is, this kind of lesson plan can not only enhance the children's knowledge but also widen their 'perception'. Perception means How children look around their world ... this is an important goal for children as learners and future citizens. Creative Lesson Plans should have the following aspects Starting from what children already know and what children have experienced / felt. These help to create and enhance children's interest about the topic. Having the overall goal related to 'Social / asking good questions Environmental Issue' and 'Scientific attitude'. is much more important Setting up these goals help to be aware that they than seeking answers can also do something to improve their environment and solve some of the social problems. Children should have fun and enjoy the moments of discovery in their learning process. Activity should link the classroom and community. This is essential for Environmental Education, as we need more and more people's initiatives for better environment. Using active and group based learning methods by encouraging children's involvement in group. Using local materials and examples for 'Link the classroom activities. You can also make the activities low and community' cost and eco-friendly by using waste materials. Selections from 'Basbhumi' : booklet - 10 5 99 99 9 Fish Overall goal Through a series of activities children will be able to identify fish they eat and observe in their locality. They are encouraged to understand fish has close connection with environment and often work as an indicator to point degradation of ecosystem. Some initiatives and actions among children to protect water bodies from pollutants such as wastes or agricultural chemicals are most welcome to conserve fishes as natural resources and valuable food. Activity Steps Step 2 Review & Make Sure to make a platform for further activities, organise a discussion with children to summarize & review preparatory work. Discuss about missing information and make sure that Children have Step 1 Preparatory work to build children's interest and to know what children already know. Children collect information / data through own observation and inquiry to family members & local community members.

The teachers had tried out each activity with their students (targeted class 4-9) in their class or as extra curricular. You can see the survey results and children’s work examples after each lesson plan. We hope these feedbacks help to create your motivation to conduct each activities and reflect them in your way. We got feedback from different groups affiliating ENRE partner organisations. Some survey results were also shared by other projects of DRCSC. Most trials were carried during 2001- 2004.

A study was commissioned to establish the facts behind the fatal incidents and the behavioural factors that increase the risk of an incident occurring. Objectives For some time the DTI has been concerned about the number of drowning incidents that take place within the domestic environment, particularly as initial indications point to the fact that a large number of young children are involved. Drowning is the third largest cause of accidental death in the home in under fives. The DTI has commissioned the Business Strategy Group to carry out a full investigation of child drowning incidents in the garden. The brief was to provide a comprehensive picture of the type of incident, the profile of those affected and the precise behavioural factors that increase the risk of a fatal incident.

  • Quality Changes in Formalin Treated Rohu Fish (Labeo Rohita, Hamilton) During Ice Storage Condition
    Asian Journal of Agricultural Sciences 2(4): 158-163, 2010 ISSN: 2041-3890 © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2010 Submitted Date: May 31, 2010 Accepted Date: June 26, 2010 Published Date: October 09, 2010 Quality Changes in Formalin Treated Rohu Fish (Labeo rohita, Hamilton) During Ice Storage Condition T. Yeasmin, M.S. Reza, F.H. Shikha, M.N.A. Khan and M. Kamal Department of Fisheries Technology, Faculty of Fisheries, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh Abstract: The study was conducted to evaluate the influence of formalin on the quality changes in rohu fish (Labeo rohita, Hamilton) during ice storage condition. There are complaints from the consumers that the fish traders in Bangladesh use formalin in fish imported from neighboring countries to increase the shelf life. On the basis of organoleptic characteristics, the formalin treated fishes were found in acceptable condition for 28 to 32 days in ice as compared to the control fish, which showed shelf life of 20 to 23 days. Bacterial load in formalin treated fish was below detection level even after 16 days of ice storage whereas bacterial load was significantly higher in fresh rohu stored in ice and at the end of 24 days of ice storage. NPN content was increased gradually in fresh rohu with the increased storage period in ice. On the other hand, NPN content of formalin treated rohu decreased gradually during the same period of storage. Protein solubility in formalin treated fish decreased significantly to 25% from initial of 58% during 24 days of ice storage as compared to 40% from initial of 86.70% for control fish during the same ice storage period.
