ABSTRACT The principal objective of the STRAPEAT project is to formulate strategies for wise use and sustainable management of lowland tropical peatlands on the Island of Borneo by integrating biophysical, hydrological and socio-economic data within strategies for sustainable management. Recent investigations have revealed that peat initiation in SE Asia occurred from the Late Pleistocene (~30,000-24,000 14 C yrs BP) through to early Holocene (~9,600-7,000 14 C yrs BP, ~ 11,000-8,000 cal yrs BP). In Southeast Asia they cover more than 26 million hectares (69% of all tropical peatlands) at altitudes from sea level to about 50 m amsl mostly near the coasts of East Sumatra, Kalimantan, West Papua, Papua New Guinea, Brunei, Peninsular Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Southeast Thailand. At the present time, and in the absence of human intervention, many tropical peatlands are actively accumulating peat or are in a steady state. Once peat swamp forest is drained, the peat starts to decompose which leads to peat shrinkage and subsidence. Indonesia's peatlands (200,728 km 2), represent a potential peatland carbon sink of 17.06 Tg yr -1 (teragrammes). If this is extrapolated to the global area of tropical peatland (420,000 km 2) their total carbon sink potential is 35.7 Tg yr -1, which is equivalent to about 54% of that for boreal and subarctic peatlands (66.2 Tg yr -1). Currently, forest clearance and drainage converts peatlands rapidly into carbon sources through decomposition losses and fire, contributing to the greenhouse effect and the potential for climate and sea-level change. Every centimetre of peat subsidence results in a CO 2 emission of approximately 355 g C m -2. As a consequence of clear felling and drainage, peat subsidence in developed peatland is estimated to result in a loss of 545 g C m -2 annually. Arable agriculture on tropical peat, however, causes CO 2 losses of up to 3,163 g C m -2 y -1. Fires in 1997/98 released between 0.8 and 2.6 Pg C to the atmosphere as a result of burning peat and vegetation in Indonesia. The peatland ecosystem has been undervalued as a habitat for rare and threatened species, especially birds, fish, mammals and reptiles. They provide one of the most important remaining habitats for large populations of orang utan ( Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus ). Agriculture is the dominant sector development although there have been few instances of its success on tropical peat and uncritical transfer of experience from one area to another has led to over-optimistic expectations. Apart from nutrient deficiencies, the development of tropical peatlands for agriculture faces many other constraints associated with their inherent properties and behaviour. Forestry has been a major activity on tropical peatland only since the 1970s in response to the decrease in area of dry land forest. Peat swamps support several native trees of commercial value, for example, ramin ( Gonystylus bancanus ) and meranti (Shorea spp.). As species regeneration in peat swamp forest is slower than in other forest types, both legal (controlled) and illegal (uncontrolled) logging practices have had major impacts on the peatland forest and the environment. For example, severe drainage leads ultimately to collapse of the peat structure, increasing tree-fall and eventually complete loss of forest cover. Peat swamps influence the hydrology of entire catchments. Drainage destroys the sponge effect of peat swamps and their water reservoir function is lost. Exploitation of peat swamp forest reduces the ability of the ecosystem to regulate rainfall, and water is flushed more quickly into the rivers, causing flooding downstream. Forest and peatland fires have caused severe damage to tropical peat swamp forest resources and natural functions. The wise use approach provides a context for, and parameters within which, management decisions can be taken in relation to peatlands and through which conflicts can be resolved. Wise use of tropical peatlands is essential to ensure that sufficient area of this resource remains to carry out vital natural resource functions while satisfying essential requirements of people now and in the future. 5 SUMMARY OF FINAL REPORT OBJECTIVES Strategies for implementing sustainable management of peatlands in Borneo (STRAPEAT) STRAPEAT is a multidisciplinary European Union research project under the International Co-operation with Developing Countries budget line (INCO-DEV). The principal objective is to formulate strategies for wise use and sustainable management of lowland tropical peatlands on the Island of Borneo.

There was no previous report on piscine diversity of this river in Assam. Survey was conducted in the lower stretch of the river in Goalpara district from April 2018 to March 2019. Fish specimens were collected from five pre-selected sites, preserved and identified adopting standard methods. A total of 74 fish species belonging to nine (9) orders, 26 families and 58 genera were recorded. Cypriniformes was the dominant order with 35 species followed by Siluriformes with 19 species. IUCN status shows two vulnerable, eight near threatened and 66 species under the least concern category. Prevalence of anthropogenic threats like garbage dispersal and agricultural pesticide flow to the river, setting of brick industries on the bank, poison fishing in the upper stretch etc. may affect the fish population in this river. In this regard, awareness is the need of the hour among the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. Keywords: Ichthyofauna, Jinari River, Goalpara, Brahmaputra River, Assam INTRODUCTION The Northeastern region of India is considered to be one of the hotspots of freshwater fish biodiversity in the world (Ramanujam et al., 2010).

Haque Department of Fisheries Management, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh 2202, Bangladesh 1Ptresent address: Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Riverine Station, Chandpur 3602 *Corresponding author Abstract Baseline survey and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) during January 2003 to December 2004 on the fishing community revealed that unregulated fishing, use of destructive fishing gears, poaching of fishes, difficulties encountered in enforcing fisheries regulation and the helplessness of fishers to find alternative sources of income during banned fishing period (June to October) were the major management problems. CBFM (Community Based Fisheries Management) system as an alternative management strategy has been introduced to ensure active participation of the target group-the poor fishers living around the beet who were previously deprived to get access to the beet. Establishing a leasing system for controlled access, ensuring greater user-group participation through equitable distribution of all resource benefits among members, attempting to enforce penalties for illegal fishing linked with surprise checks to enforce management regulations are some of the recent steps taken by the BMC (Beet Management Committee). Chapila fish intake by the community was 31.25 g/head/day before stocking the beet by carp fingerlings. After stocking, they consumed chapila as fish protein from 8.33 g to 20.8 g/head/day during the fishing season (November to May) indicating that due to introduction of carp fingerlings, chapila production has been decreased in 2003-2004.

    Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences 17(3) 458-470 2018 DOI: 10.22092/IJFS.2018.116612 Gonadal maturity assessment of butter catfish (Ompok bimaculatus) from major rivers and tributaries of India during spawning season Mishra A.1*; Sarkar U.K.2; Kumar R.3; Rawat A.4; Verma S.5 Received: September 2015 Accepted: January 2017 Abstract The present work focused on exploring reproductive biology of fish from different major rivers of India and their tributaries by comparing ovarian protein, fecundity, oocyte weight, oocyte diameter and condition factor during the spawning period. Significant correlation was found between reproductive parameters of fish in the major rivers and their tributaries. Among the parameters studied fecundity showed the highest correlation with ovarian protein level and oocyte weight in the major rivers, whereas in tributaries it was highly correlated with ovarian protein. The results from a wild population showed that the fecundity and ovarian protein level were significantly higher in the Narmada River, and the lowest in river Ganga (U.P.). Among the tributaries, maximum ovarian fecundity was observed in fish with the highest protein concentration from River Hooghly. The condition factor (K) in female Ompok Downloaded from jifro.ir at 14:24 +0330 on Monday October 4th 2021 bimaculatus were reported to be significantly high in the major River Cauveri and Sharda tributary. The oocyte weight was significantly higher in the major River Krishna and the lowest in fish from River Godavari. In fish samples collected from tributaries, those Sone River showed the highest oocyte diameter and fish from Betwa River showed the lowest oocyte diameter.
