ISBN 978-1-888807-19-6 1 Dedication: These proceedings are dedicated in honor Of our dear friend Yang Yi It was Dr. Yang Yi who first suggested having this ISTA at Shanghai Ocean University to celebrate SHOU’s move to the new Lingang Campus. It was through his hard work and constant attention with his many friends and colleagues that the entire 9AFAF and ISTA9 came together, despite the terrible illness that eventually took his life at such a young age. Acknowledgements: The editors wish to thank the many people who contributed to the collection and review and editing of these proceedings, especially Mary Riina, Pamila Ramotar, Sidrotun Naim and Zhou TingTing 2 Table of Contents Page KEYNOTE ADDRESS WHY TILAPIA IS BECOMING THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD FISH ON THE PLANET Kevin Fitzsimmons, Rafael Martinez-Garcia and Pablo Gonzalez-Alanis 9 SECTION I.

Khanom, T Khatun, M.A.S. Jewel*, M.D. Hossain and M.M. Rahman Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate the abundance and present status of fish biodiversity in the Shiba river at Tanore Upazila of Rajshahi district, Bangladesh. The study was conducted from November, 2016 to February, 2017. A total of 30 species of fishes were recorded belonging to nine orders, 15 families and 26 genera. Cypriniformes and Siluriformes were the most diversified groups in terms of species. Among 30 species, nine species under the order Cypriniformes, nine species of Siluriformes, five species of Perciformes, two species of Channiformes, two species of Mastacembeliformes, one species of Beloniformes, one species of Clupeiformes, one species of Osteoglossiformes and one species of Decapoda, Crustacea were found. Machrobrachium lamarrei of the family Palaemonidae under Decapoda order was the most dominant species contributing 26.29% of the total catch. In the Shiba river only 6.65% threatened fish species were found, and among them 1.57% were endangered and 4.96% were vulnerable. The mean values of Shannon-Weaver diversity (H), Margalef’s richness (D) and Pielou’s (e) evenness were found as 1.86, 2.22 and 0.74, respectively. Relationship between Shannon-Weaver diversity index (H) and pollution indicates the river as light to moderate polluted.

However, this sector is dominated by small and marginal fish farmers adopting traditional technol- Carps ogies resulting in low productivity and nominal impact on their livelihood. The success of fish farming as a Sustainable livelihood business depends mostly on its scientific culture practice and efficient farming strategy, which will assist not only Species diversification in individual socio-economic development but also the economic growth of the country as a whole. Through a Farming practice case-based research method an economic analysis has been made on species diversification strategy of fish Economic analysis farming. It is found that, by adopting an effective and most economical diversification strategy consisting of the culture of Gudusia chapra along with Carps in small-scale composite culture ponds will resulted in more than 100% return on investment. Therefore, the outcome of this research has propounded for a novel farming practice of small indigenous high valued species having negligible investment will enhance the income of fish farmers. 1.

About 342 specimens (153 male and 189 female) of length range 4.7 to 15.1cm were collected. Length-weight relationship for male and female were calculated separately. The difference between the sexes was insignificant (independent t-test, p>0.05). The pooled length-weight regression equation was estimated as log W=-1.863+2.855 log L (r=0.983) which indicated negative allometric growth. The value of condition factor (Kn value) was observed to be nearer to or greater than one in both sexes, indicative of the general wellbeing of the fish in the Panchet Reservoir. This is the first report on length- weight relationship parameters of G. chapra from an Indian reservoir. Keywords: Allometric growth, Condition factor, Gudusia chapra, Length-weight relationship, Panchet Reservoir Introduction abundant during seventies in Ganga river system.

A total of 25 genera of phytoplankton belonging to BaciHariophyceae (7), Chlorophyceae (U), Cyanophyceae (5) and Euglenophyceae (2) and 9 genera of zooplankton belonging to Crustacea (3) and Rotifera (6) were recorded from the water. Among the phytoplankton, highest abundance of Chlorophyceae was observed, and Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae ranked the second, third and fourth position in the planktonic population, respectively. Among the zooplankton, Rotifera was recorded as the most dominant group and Crustacea as the least one. From the gut content analysis, 4 groups of phytoplankton consisting of 33 genera of plankton were identified and recoded of which 25 belonging to phytoplankton and 8 belonging to zooplankton. This study reveals that the Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae were the most dominant food items of chapila. Bacillariophyceae (diatom) and Euglenophyceae were less important and Crustacea and Rotifera were the least important in the diet of Chapib.

Mobolaji Adeolu,† Seema Alnajar,† Sohail Naushad and Radhey S. Gupta Correspondence Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Radhey S. Gupta L8N 3Z5, Canada [email protected] Understanding of the phylogeny and interrelationships of the genera within the order ‘Enterobacteriales’ has proven difficult using the 16S rRNA gene and other single-gene or limited multi-gene approaches. In this work, we have completed comprehensive comparative genomic analyses of the members of the order ‘Enterobacteriales’ which includes phylogenetic reconstructions based on 1548 core proteins, 53 ribosomal proteins and four multilocus sequence analysis proteins, as well as examining the overall genome similarity amongst the members of this order. The results of these analyses all support the existence of seven distinct monophyletic groups of genera within the order ‘Enterobacteriales’. In parallel, our analyses of protein sequences from the ‘Enterobacteriales’ genomes have identified numerous molecular characteristics in the forms of conserved signature insertions/deletions, which are specifically shared by the members of the identified clades and independently support their monophyly and distinctness. Many of these groupings, either in part or in whole, have been recognized in previous evolutionary studies, but have not been consistently resolved as monophyletic entities in 16S rRNA gene trees. The work presented here represents the first comprehensive, genome- scale taxonomic analysis of the entirety of the order ‘Enterobacteriales’.

The finding shows that the correlation coefficient ‘r’ exhibits positive correlation Nizara Singha between total length and body weight with coefficient correlation ‘r’ approaching towards +1, although M.Sc. 4th Semester Student, the growth performance exhibits negative allometric correlation which may be due to lower feeding Department of Zoology, Pandu proficiencies and/or may be due to environmental and/or seasonal incompatibility for proper growth of College, Guwahati, Assam, India fishes. In this investigation the value of ‘b’ in Gudusia chapra for adult and sub adult is 2.81 and 0.92 respectively. The Kn value for adult and sub adult ranged from 0.63 to 1.45 and 0.71 to 1.28 respectively, Rajesh Nag with an average value of 1.00 ± 0.10 for former and 0.99±0.14 for the later. th M.Sc. 4 Semester Student, Department of Zoology, Pandu Keywords: Length-Weight relationship, relative condition factor, Gudusia chapra, Dalani beel College, Guwahati, Assam, India Parag Deka 1.
