Aquarium or ornamental fish trade, although widely acknowledged as a large and diverse industry, is one of the most poorly known and documented activities within the global fisheries sector. For example, there is very little up-to-date statistics on the number and quantity of species involved, major exporting countries, number of export units and trade value at different points. The aquarium industry is viewed as both positively (socio-economic and livelihood benefits) and negatively (over-harvest, habitat destruction, alien species invasions) influential, and therefore is often considered a practice that divides opinion.Full Text

An updated list confirms the presence of 134 species of wild mammals in the Western Ghats, India. The superimposed distribution range of all, and threatened species of mammals depicts the potential mammalian key diversity areas for the Western Ghats, which can be prioritized for long-term conservation. These mammalian key diversity areas are confined to the central and the southern Western Ghats. The most crucial key diversity areas for both threatened and all mammalian species occur in Pushpagiri–Talakaveri, the Nilgiri Biosphere, the Anamalai Hills, the Periyar landscape and the Agastyamalai HillsFull Text
