A total of 266 fish specimens were collected monthly from the Ganga and Punpun rivers of Bihar, India from September 2021 to March 2022 Length-weight relationships (LWRs), length frequency distribution, condition factor and otolith aspect ratio were assessed. The fish length and weight ranged from 5.57 cm to 11.17 cm and 1.18 g to 18.98 g, respectively. The b value in LWRs (b>3) were estimated as 3.20 and 3.17 for Ganga and Punpun, respectively. Condition factors indicated optimal growth conditions for this species in both the rivers. The fish and otolith morphometrics showed a positive correlation, and the highest coefficient of determination (R2) was observed between total fish length and otolith weight (R2= 0.942) followed by fish length and otolith length (R2=0.90). All of these relationships are significant to fisheries management and useful for future time series studies on food-feeding habits, stock structure, environmental change and resource conservation.

All the ponds were of equal size (168 m2; 14 m x 12 m) but with different water depths. The fishes were fed with a mixture of rice bran and mustard oil cake (1:1) @ 0.5-3% of their biomass. The growth, survival and proximate composition of fish were recorded in each stage. The average daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, survival and proximate composition were found to be better in water depths of 60 cm and 90 cm during May to September when water temperature was ≥26.5°C. However, when water temperature was ≤21.4°C (October-February), growth and other attributes significantly reduced. Two-way ANOVA revealed that water depth and temperature, individually and interactively, affected the growth of H. fossilis. From this trial, it can be concluded that H. fossilis performs better when water depth is 60-90 cm and the ideal water temperature for the culture is 28.3-30.4°C. The study confirms the depth preference of H. fossilis under the humid subtropical condition and the information generatedwill help in the sustainable farming of this species.

The study was conducted during the period from June to September 2021, among a sample of 152 stakeholders involved in fishing and allied activities from Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari and Krishna districts in Andhra Pradesh. Average number of active fishing days in a month was found to be 11.44 during the first wave and 15.10 during the second wave periods. Nearly three-fourth of the respondents (73.68%) perceived that there was reduction in demand for fish during the first wave of the pandemic, and it was to the tune of 40%. Reduction in the daily earnings was reported to the tune of 37.09%. The challenges encountered in marketing the fish were, getting export orders, access to market, availability of storage, transportation and logistics. Peer interaction, time spent with family members and time spent in social media were higher than usual during both waves of the pandemic. Changes or disruptions in usual marketing channels were reported during both the periods. Satisfied perception was expressed on government interventions such as ration, timely advisories, health care and sanitary measures. A few positive impacts on fisheries observed during the pandemic were product innovations, new distribution channels such as online marketing, e-commerce and home deliveries, shortening of supply chains including elimination of auction at fishing harbour, lowering of ocean pollution as well as government reforms. From the results of the study, we propose socio-economic interventions to be taken up by concerned governments for ensuring that the impact of the pandemic is mitigated and also that any future pandemic can have minimal impacts on the fishing community.

The length-weight relationship indicated negative allometric growth in A. atropos. Morphometric measurements showed significant correlation with total length. The gut content analysis revealed A. atropos to be a carnivore fish feeding mainly on Acetes spp., small teleostean fishes, cephalopods, and squilla. Sex ratio showed dominance of males. Gonadosomatic index and maturity studies indicated that A. atropos has a protracted spawning season extending from May to December. Length at sexual maturity for females was estimated to be 171 mm. Fecundity ranged from 16458 to 138688 eggs with an average of 70097 eggs. Ova diameter studies showed that A. atropos spawns twice in a protracted spawning season.

Four experimental paste diets contained, fish meal and binding materials as, HQFM and starch (F0, control), SFM and VCL (F1), SFM and a mixture of starch and VCL (F2) and SFM and starch (F3). Each diet was formulated to be iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic. Each group of 10 juvenile eels with an average initial body weight of 20 ± 2.5 g were randomly distributed into 15 tanks in triplicates and fish were fed twice daily with one of the 4 experimental paste diets for 90 days. Eels fed with diet F2 exhibited good growth performance (final mean weight; 55.3±0.67 g, WGR; 169±5%), being similar to eels (55.5±0.26g, 170±7%) fed a control diet (p>0.05). In spite of iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets, the feed efficiency of F1 and F3 were inferior to other diets and the same trend was observed in growth performance also, probably due to reduced feed intake owing to poor water stability of the feeds. It should be considered that incorporation of SFM could lead to the discharge of undesirable matters such as phosphorus into the water environment, though it would contribute to lowering production costs.Therefore, further investigations are needed to improve the quality of SFM.

The hatching rate was used as standard to evaluate the fertility of thawed sperm at different periods of storage (2, 270 and 668 days). After 2 days, extender M-HBSS exhibited highest hatching rate (49.06±2.67%) which was comparable to the control value (51.00±7.23%), followed by HBSS (42.76±32.0%), M-HBSS with EY (37.46±24.34%) and European catfish extender (29.47±25.61%), respectively. After 270 days with M-HBSS, hatching rate was 64.34±8.84% similar to the control; however, cryopreserved sperm with other extenders exhibited lower hatching rate as compared to control and M-HBSS.

Results indicated that presence of egg yolk in the extender M-HBSS did not improve the performance of cryopreserved sperm.

Understanding the attitude of fishers is important in achieving the goal of conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resources. Attitude act as the determinant of converting covert behaviour into overt action. It is rooted in motivation, which provides a meaningful background for individuals’ overt behaviour. Perspective of fishers with respect to sustainable fishery systems is an important aspect to be studied in fishery governance. To measure this psychological construct, we need to use, standardised scales. There is no standardised scale available for measuring attitude of fishers towards responsible fishing.
