    Wild Species 2010 THE GENERAL STATUS OF SPECIES IN CANADA Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council National General Status Working Group This report is a product from the collaboration of all provincial and territorial governments in Canada, and of the federal government. Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council (CESCC). 2011. Wild Species 2010: The General Status of Species in Canada. National General Status Working Group: 302 pp. Available in French under title: Espèces sauvages 2010: La situation générale des espèces au Canada. ii Abstract Wild Species 2010 is the third report of the series after 2000 and 2005. The aim of the Wild Species series is to provide an overview on which species occur in Canada, in which provinces, territories or ocean regions they occur, and what is their status. Each species assessed in this report received a rank among the following categories: Extinct (0.2), Extirpated (0.1), At Risk (1), May Be At Risk (2), Sensitive (3), Secure (4), Undetermined (5), Not Assessed (6), Exotic (7) or Accidental (8). In the 2010 report, 11 950 species were assessed. Many taxonomic groups that were first assessed in the previous Wild Species reports were reassessed, such as vascular plants, freshwater mussels, odonates, butterflies, crayfishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Other taxonomic groups are assessed for the first time in the Wild Species 2010 report, namely lichens, mosses, spiders, predaceous diving beetles, ground beetles (including the reassessment of tiger beetles), lady beetles, bumblebees, black flies, horse flies, mosquitoes, and some selected macromoths. The overall results of this report show that the majority of Canada’s wild species are ranked Secure.

Abstract The assessment of Penaeidae species diversity in a particular region is very important in formulating conservation strategies. In the present study, the survey on diversity of Penaeidae species in south east coast of India has been assessed on the basis of landing of variety of species in this group. Penaeidae species were collected from various main landing centers of south east coast of India for three years. Identification and nomenclature was done based on previously published literature. Among the 59 species observed, the Penaeus semisulcatus, Penaeus monodon and Fenneropenaeus indicus were found mostly in all landing centers.

  • Effect of Feed on the Growth and Survival of Long Eyed Swimming
    Soundarapandian et al., 2:3 http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/scientificreports681 Open Access Open Access Scientific Reports Scientific Reports Research Article OpenOpen Access Access Effect of Feed on the Growth and Survival of Long Eyed Swimming Crab Podophthalmus vigil Fabricius (Crustacea: Decapoda) Soundarapandian P1*, Ravichandran S2 and Varadharajan D1 1Faculty of Marine Sciences, Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu, India 2Department of Zoology, Government Arts College, Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract Food is considered to be the most potent factor affecting growth. Attempts to develop diets for culture of crabs have resulted in a variety of feeds. The absence of suitable feed either pellet or live food which can promote growth and survival is considered to be the most important lacuna in cultivation of crabs. So searching of economically viable feed to optimize the growth and survival in crabs are very much essential. In the present study the weight gain was higher in the crabs offered with Acetes sp. (86 g) followed by clam meat fed animals (47 g). The crabs fed with minimum amount of Acetes sp. (152 g) and maximum of clam meat (182 g). The FCR value was better in Acetes sp. (1.8) fed animal rather than clam meat fed animals (3.8). The survival rate was higher in Acetes sp. fed animals (92%) and lowest survival (72%) was observed in animals fed with clam meat. The survival was reasonable for both the feeds. But higher survival rate was reported in the animals fed with Acetes sp. than that of clam meat.
