The aim of the study was to investigate the bioaccumulation of aluminium in tissues such as gill, liver, muscle and brain, and possibility to use these organs as quantitative bioindicators in polluted aquatic environment. Therefore, the experiment has been designed to provide conditions as close as possible to those found in nature. For this, two sublethal concentrations of aluminium were selected and the fish were exposed for a period of 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The pattern of accumulation varied significantly among fish organs (liver > gill > muscle). In brain the accumulation was below the detection limit. The study showed that the bioaccumulation rate depends on concentration of the toxicant and length of the exposure period.Keywords

Objective: To investigate lead nitrate toxicity with emphasis on the histopathological effects of fish Labeorohita.
Methods: The fishes were exposed to 31, 31.5, 32, 32.5 and 33ppm of lead nitrate (LN) solution at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours of intervals. The lethal conc. (LC50) value of lead nitrate was 33ppm for 96 h of exposure. Fishes were exposed to control and sub lethal conc. of lead nitrate (3.3ppm) over a period of 96 h.
Findings: Histopathology of fish organs, after 96 Hof LN exposure revealed the cell proliferation, lamellar fusion, lamellar cell hyperplasia, and epithelial lifting. The vacuolation of hepatocytes and necrosis were observed in liver. The changes of the tissue cells were predominantly showed in 96hr.
Application/Improvements: LN is highly toxic to Labeorohita therefore its high conc. of LN in areas close to aquatic bodies should not be encouraged. Fishes from such water bodies is not suitable for human consumption because of the possibility of toxic material present in the fish. Fishes as well as water due to such pollution are toxic to human beings.

Background/Objectives: Shrimp farming has been made an impressive growth in many developing countries especially in Asian countries. This activity is paved way to prominent economic growth and social importance.
Methods/Statistical analysis: The present study was undertaken for shrimp culture during August 2015 – November 2015 from fresh water aquaculture farm. Water samples were collected from culture ponds during the study period to analyze various physico-chemical parameters. The L.vannameiseeds (post larval stage 14) that had been acclimatized to the oppt salinity and it were confirmed disease free, transport with maintained optimum condition and reached to the ponds. The seeds were properly stocked in the culture ponds.
Findings: The water temperature values varied from 24°C and 28°C.Ranges of salinity 0.5 - 2.5 ppt were recorded. DO (dissolved oxygen) values varied from 4 and 7.1ml/l. The maximum pH values of 8.0 was recorded during the month of November 2015 and minimum of 7.3 was observed during August 2015. The maximum of feed provision 3.635tn was recorded in P3 (pond 3) and minimum of 3.145 was recorded at P1 (pond 1). The maximum ABW 25.3g was recorded in P3 and minimum of 24.5 was recorded at P1. The maximum biomass 2.340tn was recorded in P3 and minimum of 2.058tn was recorded at P2.
Application/Improvements: Shrimp culture has been increasing recent years in Indian Subcontinent. Liberalization of economy, high profitability and good international market are the factors, this has been given new impetus for shrimp culture boom in India. Hence, the present has been carried out the culture activity of L. vannamei in fresh water environment. This will be motivated and enhanced the culture practices.

Background/Objectives: Macrobenthos are of special interest because of them are sessile or have a limited mobility and thus directly depend on environment conditions. They are showings marked response to environmental changes depending on their specific sensitivity and tolerance level. Among the macrobenthic forms, the polychaetes are dominant group which are important food source for higher trophic levels of most estuarine and near shore environment. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Sediment samples were collected from Uppanar estuary, Cuddalore coast for a period of one year from Jan’ 2011 – Dec’ 2011 to collect and analyze the distribution and diversity of polychaete species during the study period. Findings: The distribution and diversity of polychaete species, the total numbers of 36 species were recorded belonging to 19 families during the study period in this station. The maximum 32 species of polychaetes were recorded in summer and minimum of 23 species were recorded at monsoon. Among them five species of polychaetes (Capitella capitata, Nereis virens, Polydora ciliata, Perinereis cultrifera and Glycera Alba) were dominated in all the seasons. Application/Improvements: They are playing an important role in ecosystem process such as nutrient cycling, pollutant metabolism and dispersion. They are also considering as an important secondary production of among the macrobenthos. Polychaetes are also play a important role of pollution indicator.Keywords
