Among the fresh water gastropods in West Bengal, Bellamya bengalensis has great nutritional values. That is why B. bengalensis has admirable demand to the people of all the economic classes, mainly in Purulia and its nearby districts. By encompassing this snail markets, a large number of people are able to meet their daily livelihood as well as maintain their family in these areas. An assessment was made of B. bengalensis on its marketing process and daily marketing transaction at different selected market areas (Purulia Town Market, Punchar Market, Lalpur Market and Man Marker) of Purulia district. Through the protocol "Private Distribution System" and segregating a year into quarterly intervals (Pre-monsoon, Monsoon and Post monsoon season), the whole marketing process was characterized. People (seller) gathered B. bengalensis either by purchasing from collectors or by collecting from nearby ponds, swamps, dam areas, etc. The selling of flesh product (without shell) and whole product (flesh with shell) of this snail was found to vary signifcantly throughout the three seasons. Here, availability was considered as the main reason regarding price variation. So, sustainable aquaculture of B. bengalensis is required to overcome this fluctuation (availability and price) and to make a steady marketing process.

Fish production in West Bengal is the second highest in India and also it has great contribution in export market over the past decades throughout Asian, European and American countries. However, there are few pathogens of aquatic animals which have zoonotic importance. Vibrio spp. Was reported with eel and shrimp and has been isolated both from wound infections and in septicemic cases in humans. Edwardsiella tarda, a common pathogen of aquaculture is associated with both intestinal and extra-intestinal infections in humans. Streptococcus iniae, another important pathogen in aquaculture also causes infection in human beings. Aeromonas hydrophila and other pathogenic strain of Aeromonas spp. are the causative agents of Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS) for fishes and have been considered as a gastrointestinal disease causing potential pathogen in human. On the other hand, residue of antibiotics used in aquaculture along with some banned antibiotics (relating with public health) like Chloramphenicol, Nitroimidazoles, Nitrofurans (Furazolidone, Sulphamethoxazole), Sulfonamides (Sulphamethoxazoleetc) is used indiscriminately in aqua sector. Adequate knowledge and awareness are very important regarding human health which can help to take over proper good manufacturing practices (GMP) in aquaculture sector.- Evaluation of Market Potentiality of Bellamya bengalensis at Selected Market Areas in Purulia District, West Bengal, India

Among freshwater gastropods in West Bengal, Bellamya bengalensis has great nutritional values. That is why B. bengalensis has an admirable demand to the people of all the economic classes, more particularly to poor and tribal communities mainly in Purulia and its nearby districts. By surveying the snail markets, it is evident that a large number of people are able to meet their daily livelihood as well as maintain their family in these areas by marketing this snail species. Therefore, an assessment was made on marketing process and daily marketing transactions of B. bengalensis at selected market areas (Purulia Town Market, Punchar Market, Lalpur Market and Man Marker) of Purulia district. Through the protocol "Private Distribution System" and segregating a year into quarterly intervals (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon season), the whole marketing process was characterized. People (seller) gathered B. bengalensis either by purchasing from collectors or by collecting from near by ponds, swamps, dam areas, etc. For selling of flesh product (without shell) and whole product (flesh with shell), a significant variations in selling price were noticed throughout the experimental seasons. Here, availability of B. bengalensis was considered as the main reason regarding price variation. So, sustainable aquaculture of this gastropod species is required to overcome this fluctuation (availability and price) and to make a steady marketing process.Keywords
