In this study, we developed a state-of-the-art hydrodynamic and ecological modeling framework to aggregate data collected during these initiative years and from other sources, and to simulate lake eutrophication processes in Lake Ontario, with an emphasis on nearshore conditions. Model calibration and validation were based primarily on data from three initiative years (2008, 2013, and 2018). This integrated model provides a framework for data organization, understanding complex lake process interactions, and guiding future data collection. It is designed as a management support tool that can simulate lake responses to changes in loading conditions, such as sensitivity of nearshore water quality to Niagara River phosphorus loads. Its designated aim is to support evaluation of management questions in Lake Ontario by providing quantitative evaluation of the relative benefits of potential nutrient loading abatement strategies to mitigate eutrophication in the nearshore. This framework is also well suited for possible future expansion to address management issues on a whole-lake basis.","PeriodicalId":421207,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133294871","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}

The present study recorded a total of 146 fish species belonging to 52 families from the River Cauvery. The highest recorded fish diversity was at Hogenakkal (76 species) as it is situated in the transition zone between Deccan Plateau and the plains of Tamil Nadu. Lowest diversity was recorded at Bhagamandala (23 species), as this site represented a narrow hillstream habitat. As per SIMPER analysis, the silver razor-belly minnow (Salmostoma acinaces) was the most representative species in Upper Cauvery, with percentage similarity contribution (% SC) of 36.55%. The Middle Cauvery situated in the plateau zone was mainly represented by Labeo calbasu (14.01% SC), the exotic Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) with 8.45%, and the bagrid catfish Mystus cavasius (5.1%). The exotic species contributed to maximum fish catch and gradually replaced the native fish fauna in Lower Cauvery. The fish fauna of Cauvery Estuary is distinct from other zones with a characteristic fish assemblage represented by the glassy perchlet, Ambassis miops (11.97% SC), Crenimugil buchanani (11.14 %), and Mugil cephalus (6.23 %). Among the fish species recorded during the present study, 29 species were endemic to Western Ghats, of which 10 species were categorized as threatened by the IUCN, including 2 critically endangered (Barbodes bovanicus, and Hemibagrus punctatus), 5 endangered (Dawkinsia arulius, Hypselobarbus curmuca, H. mussullah, H. micropogon, and Nemacheilus pulchellus) and 3 vulnerable species (Hypselobarbus kolus, Hyporhamphus xanthopterus, and Wallago attu). A holistic study on the fish communities of Cauvery along the spatio-temporal scale is imperative to ensure sustainable management for conservation of endemic fish fauna.","PeriodicalId":421207,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125400789","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}

It originates in Jhukehi village in the Satna district of Madhya Pradesh and after 268 km it joins with the River Ganga at Sirsa, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The river has a diverse habitat and harbours a variety of flora and fauna. More than 70 fish species reside in the river, along with other biotic communities. A barrage, named Tons and situated at Bakiya village, was commissioned in 1992 for hydro-electric purposes. The continuity and volume of water in the river have been disturbed due to the construction of this barrage and it has changed the ecology and biodiversity. Keeping the ecosystem intact requires that environmental flow calculations be made of the river at the barrage. An attempt has been made to estimate the environmental flow requirement using a desktop hydrological method. Based on the flow duration curve (a hydrological method of flow estimation), the environmental flow for the River Tamas has been calculated using Global Environmental Flow Calculator software. Our calculation are based on flow discharge data received from the Tons Barrage Authority at Bakiya for the period January 2006 to December 2017. Average annual discharge was calculated from the recorded maximum (151.46 cumecs in 2016) and the minimum, 13.53 cumecs in 2007. Mean Annual Runoff was calculated as 1607 Million Cubic Meter with Coefficient of Variation =0.799. To maintain the river in the “slightly modified” class of Environmental Management Class, 27.8 % of Mean Annual Runoff discharge should be released into the river to largely maintain the biodiversity and habitat, while about 57% of Mean Annual Runoff discharge is required to maintain this river in pristine condition. This is a preliminary study to determine the water requirements for healthy habitat and biodiversity of the Tamas river.","PeriodicalId":421207,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management","volume":"519 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116259268","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}

Anthropogenic activities like damming, channel modification, water abstraction, sewage and effluent disposal, sand mining, unthoughtful exploitation of biotic resources, etc. are the major threats faced by the rivers in the country. Monitoring protocol of Indian rivers lacks an integrated approach based on judicious use of both abiotic and biotic components as well as a total lack of consideration for ecological health. Index of Biotic Integrity is a flexible multimetric index that can be modified and adapted to the various zoogeographic regions of the world. A fish-based multi-metric IBI was developed by modifying and incorporating metrics that are sensitive to the various ecological stressors faced by Indian rivers, fishes being excellent indicators of river health. The adapted IBI was validated and used to assess ecological health of two rivers—Mahanadi, and its distributary Kathajodi-Devi—flowing through central-eastern India. The study indicated that in River Mahanadi, around 25% of the freshwater river stretch was slightly impaired and the remaining 75% stretch was moderately impaired. In Kathajodi-Devi, most of the river stretches were in a moderately impaired condition, except at Italnga stretch where the river was severely impaired. The Index of Biotic Integrity scores estimated could reflect the ecological health of the rivers. The study shows that use of Index of Biotic Integrity is a useful and reliable approach to assess the health conditions of Indian aquatic resources warranting initiatives to be taken to implement and incorporate it into the country's water resource management.","PeriodicalId":421207,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecosystem Health and Management","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122640119","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}

The peak landings of O. pama were found during March from gill net catches and November–December from bag net catches. The species followed continuous recruitment throughout the year with two distinct peaks during March–August and July–October. The probability of capture was estimated to be 148.35 mm, while the length at recruitment was 104.5 mm. The rate of exploitation (0.73) was found to be higher than Emax (0.58), indicating a higher fishing pressure of the species. The length-based Virtual Population Analysis revealed that the highest fishing mortality occurred from the 140–159 mm length group onwards.
