Ninety samples were collected randomly from various fish farm of different Upazillas of Khulna, Satkhira and Bagerhat districts during August-December, 2017, where each district was contained 30 samples. Antibiotic residues level present in the animal muscles were detected using ELISA in the Quality Control Laboratory of the Department of Fisheries, Khulna, Bangladesh. To collect information about the status of feed type questionnaire interviews were performed during sample collection from the respective farmers. The overall results revealed that nitrofuran metabolites and CAP residue existed in all the samples within the MRL (Maximum Residue Level) with the exception of 3.33%, 6.66% and 3.33% samples of Khulna, Bagerhat and Satkhira district respectively. Antibiotic residue data showed all nitrofuran metabolites like SEM, AOZ, AMOZ, AHD and CAP were present in all samples in which SEM was highest in Shatkhira district and lowest in Khulna district. In case of AHD, highest residue was found in Khulna and lowest was Satkhira district. Additionally, AOZ was highest in Khulna district and lowest in Bagerhat district and AMOZ was highest in Bagerhat district and lowest Satkhira district. CAP was found highest in Satkhira district while that was lowest in Bagerhat district. The results of the also revealed that contamination of nitrofuran metabolites and chloramphenicol were more in tilapia farms where home-made feed was used compared to commercial feed.

These hyperaccumulators are used to extract (lead) from contaminated soil in a process called phytoremediation. Although some species of Brassica are widely being used as hyperaccumulators, the phytoremediation potential of many varieties of Brassica juncea (mustard) is not well understood. The present study was conducted to assess the phytoremediation potentials of 11 mustard genotypes under Pb stress. Twenty-day-old seedlings were exposed to 200 µM Pb nitrate under hydroponic conditions and grown for 60 days. The experiment was conducted following a completely randomized design with three replications. In response to Pb stress, a significant reduction in growth of the studied traits was observed in all of the varieties. The lowest reduction for all of the studied traits including Pb accumulation was recorded in BJ DH 17. Nevertheless, the translocation of Pb from root to shoot and shoot to grain was highest in Sambal. Bioaccumulation co-efficient was highest in Sambal whereas it was lowest in BJ DH 17. Based on the results of the present study, the variety Sambal is recognized as the most suitable genotype that can be used for Pb phytoextraction. \u0000Asian Australas. J. Biosci.

A survey questionnaire was developed, pre-tested and finally used for collection of data. Data were collected from the three different fish markets through questionnaire interviews and focus group discussions. Three types of marketing channel were found to be operated in the selected markets. The market chain from fishermen to consumer passes through a number of intermediaries: local traders, agents/suppliers, retailers and consumers. The shorter marketing chain which included the fish farmers, retailers and consumers was found to be more beneficial to the fish producers. There are some fish species available in three different markets, such as Indian major carps i.e. rui, catla, mrigal and Exotic fish i.e. silver carp, grass and common carp, tilapia, pangas etc. The price of fish depended on size, weight, season, availability, species quality and size of fishes. Different types of dried and salted fish were available in the markets. A number of constraints for fish marketing were reported by the retailers, the constraints were lack of storage facilities, poor supply of ice, exploitation by middlemen, lack of money and lack of infrastructure. \u0000Asian Australas.

At the same time, important factors were identified those could contribute to farmers‟ awareness on use of ICT. The study was conducted in the existing CIG of Ishwarganj upazila in Mymensingh district. Data were collected from 110 CIG farmers in the selected upazila during the period from 03 October to 05 November, 2018 by using a pre-tested structured interview schedule. Farmers‟ awareness was measured by checking extent of their extent of awareness of seven selected ICT services as cell phone, smart phone, personal computer, services from AICC, services from UDC, Krishi Call Centre and mobile apps. A number of characteristics of the farmers were selected as the factors for explaining farmers‟ awareness on use of ICT. Appropriate scales were developed and used in order to measure the concerned variables. Correlation test was used to ascertain the relationships between the concerned variables, while multiple regression (enter method) analysis was also used to determine the contributions of the farmers' selected characteristics to their opinion on selected ICT based facilities. Results showed that 23.7 percent farmers had “moderate awareness” on use of ICT in farm practices while 60 percent and 12.7 percent of the farmers had “low” and “very low awareness” on use of ICT based facilities in their farm practices. Farmers' characteristics such as education, knowledge about ICTs, ability to use ICTs, access to ICT facilities, attitude towards ICT had significant positive relationship with their awareness on use of ICT; while age, household size and annual income had significant negative relationship with the awareness on use of ICT. Results of multiple regression analysis revealed that the influential factors on the farmers‟ awareness on use of ICT were household size, knowledge about ICT, ability to use ICT and attitude towards ICT. The R2 value indicated that, four explanatory variables together explained 80.0 percent variation infarmers‟ awareness on use of ICT. The study also identified some constraints faced by the farmers while using ICT services in receiving agricultural information. The study revealed that an overwhelming majority of the farmers (97.3 percent) had high level problems in using ICTs while only 2.7 percent faced medium problems. Lack of training facilities on ICT, cost of using ICT services, low knowledge on availability of ICT based facilities, lack of operational knowledge of computer, low bandwidth speed of internet, limited availability of ICT services, poor level of education/ illiteracy, and so on were identified as the major constraints faced by the farmers. \u0000Asian Australas.

Antibiogram profiles of the isolated agents were studied by disc diffusion method. Pasteurella multocida, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were successfully isolated and identified from the collected samples. The isolated Pasteurella multocida produced small, round, opaque colonies on blood agar; Staphylococcus aureus produced golden yellow colony in mannitol salt agar; E. coli produced black color colonies with metallic sheen on EMB agar. Pasteurella multocida showed Gram negative, bipolar rods. Staphylococcus aureus showed Gram positive, cocci shaped and E. coli showed Gram negative, small rod shaped. Among 100 nasal samples 16 were found to be positive for Pasteurella multocida, 21 for Staphylococcus aureus and 13 for E. coli on the basis of cultural and biochemical characteristics. The antibiogram study reflected that ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol should be first choice of treatment of respiratory bacterial infections caused by the isolated 3 bacteria.
