Freshwater Exotic Fishes: Problems & Prospects

The present book mainly deals with aquatic environmental, aquatic pollution, environmental toxicology and updates the subject matter, illustrations and problems to incorporate new concepts and issues related to aquatic ecosystem and environmental toxicology. The approach to presenting this book is traditional covering of environmental pollution, aquatic ecosystem and environmental toxicology.A discussion of books aim and significance is described in introductory chapter. The first chapter by me gives and overall idea about the aquatic environment and toxicology. The extension use of illustrations is intended to increase the understanding the concepts and show modern facilities also.The book includes 24 chapters contributed by outstanding experts and scientists from Egypt, Nigeria, Ethiopia and different parts of India.The book will be of benefit to both present and future colleagues, who teach, study and working in the field of limnology, freshwater ecology, aquatic ecosystem, environmental pollution, fisheries and aquatic toxicology.CONTENTSAquatic Environment and Toxicology; Study on Clinopathological and Biochemical Changes in Some Freshwater Fishes Infected With External Parasites and Subjected to Heavy Metals Pollution; Hydro-geochemistry of springs of Almora Uttarakhand; Phenol Toxicity Affecting Hematological Changes in Cat Fish (Clarius lazera); Study on Population of Plankton in Bhimtal Lake; Pathological and Biochemical Studies in Tilapia Zilli Infected with Saprolegnia Parasitica and Treated with Potassium Permanganate; Bioremediation; Reduction of Alfatoxin in Clarious Lazara Catfish by Ginseng Extract and Nigella Sativa Oil; Wetlands; Water Quality Modelling;Seasonal Variations and Prevalence of Some External Parasites Affecting Freshwater Fishes Reared at Upper Egypt; Impacts of Urbanization on Select Wetlands of Combatore; Toxic Influence due to Cadmium Chloride in Freshwater Teleost Channa punctatus (Bloch); Investigation on Heavy Metal Transfer in Different Vegetables; Distribution of Organic Compounds (PAHs and BTEX) and Heavy Metals (Pb, Zn, Fe, Cd) in Oil Impacted Soils, Rivers State; Biochemical and Toxicological Changes of Synthetic Pyrethroid (Cypermethrin) in Freshwater Fish Cyprinus Carpio; Adsorption Isotherm Studies of Hg?, Pb2+, And Cd+ lons Removal from Aqueous Solutions-using Unmodified and Ester Modified (Esterified) Senilia senilus and Thais coronata Biomass;Ultra-microscopical changes of gill of Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758) Fry Exposed to Sub Lethal Concentration of Fipronil; Identification and Quantitative Analysis of Carcinogenic PAH Components in Four Different Species of Traditionally Smoked Fish Purchased in Port-Harcourt Meteropolis, Rivers State; Assessment of Ecosystem Properties for Management of Reservoir Fishery Resources; Negative Impacts of Dam Removal on Fish and Fisheries; Comparative Study on the Toxicity and Characteristics of Leachate from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills in Umuahia and Aba Metropolis; Heavy Metals in Aquatic Ecosystem; A Low Cost Microbiotest for Screening Behavioural and Ecotoxicological Responses of Paramecium Caudatum and Oxytricha fallax to AzadirachtinTHE EDITORDr. Pawan Kumar 'Bharti, M.Sc., Ph.D,, FASEA has written 04 Text/ Reference Books, 03 edited books and more than 45 research and review papers in national, international journals, proceedings and books.
