The focus of the study was to collect important data on the socio-economic and livelihood conditions of the fishermen communities in the estuarine part of the Subarnarekha river at the Kirtania and Chandrabali villages in the Baleswar district of Odisha from June, 2020 to May, 2021 through the standard questionnaire survey method. Most of the fishermen were from Hindu families and belonged to the age between 31 and 40 (52 %). Illiteracy was found to be one of the vital issues in the study area, as about 28% of respondents were found to be illiterate and only 50% had signatory power. Fishing was the primary occupation of over 72 % of fishermen in the study area, followed by daily labor 18% and agriculture 10%. Around 62 % of fishermen have 5-6 family members, 20% have 7-10 family members, and 18% have only 2-4 family members. The average annual income of most fishermen was between Rs. 25000 and Rs.50000 (46 %). In the study, approximately 58 % of fishermen have a Kuchcha house, 34 % have a semi-kuchcha house, and only 4% have a pukka house. They face several problems, including illiteracy, insufficient credit facilities, a lack of scientific knowledge as well as lack of government funding and so on. To address these issues, the government must be more constructive, and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) must have to play a vital role in enhancing the local fishing community's socio-economic development.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117058774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These products, processes and applications save materials, energy and water thus contributing to the environment. Apart from the development of solar cells, biofuels and fuel cells, synthesis of nanoparticles using sunlight or by recycling the industrial waste to produce nanomaterials is also necessary.

The prevalence of infection was recorded maximum during winter season (0.180%), moderate in monsoon (0.129%) and lowest in summer (0.046%). The intensity of parasites varies as 1.256%, 1.107% and 1.10% during winter, monsoon and summer seasons respectively.

Phytoplankton is utilized as food for the animals in aquaculture directly. The plankton are collected from a body of water or cultured. Phytoplankton is used as a food stock for the production of rotifers and also used to feed molluscs, pearl oysters and giant clams. Plankton is divided into two groups belonging to phytoplankton and zooplankton. Phytoplankton has chlorophyll to capture sunlight, and they use photosynthesis to turn it into chemical energy. Zooplankton is a small floating or weakly swimming organism. Zooplankton moves vertically in the water column each day, feeding on the phytoplankton, small floating plants such as algae. Zooplankton serves as an intermediary species in the food chain, transferring energy from planktonic algae to the larger invertebrate predators and fish. Benthos is the community of organisms that live on, in, or near the seabed, river, lake or stream bottom, also known as the benthic zone. This community lives in or near marine or freshwater sedimentary environment, from tidal pools along the foreshore, out to the continental, and then down to the abyssal depths.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114501985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Livestock is the major source of livelihood for about 20.5 million people in India and livestock resources contribute 4.11% of the country's GDP and 25.6% of total agriculture GDP. On the other hand, there is a huge gap between demand and supply of feed and fodder in India, which can be reduced by exploring natural feed resources as supplements. To complete the shortage of feed and optimum production of livestock, it is significant to explore some non-conventional nutritive feed resources. The aquatic fern, Azolla has been identified as one of the most efficient substitutes for livestock as it can be easily digested due to its low lignin with high protein content having especially essential amino acid lysine. Its unique nutrient aspects make it an ideal feed for livestock, poultry, goat, fish, and pigs. Nutraceutical aspects of Azolla bio-feed technology will be taken up in a big way by the dairy farmers, especially, by those who experience land scarce conditions for fodder production.","PeriodicalId":217255,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biological Innovations","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130714666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
