“…Orange fin labeo, Labeo calbasu is an herbivorous fish belonging to family Cyprinidae, found commonly in rivers and freshwater lakes around South Asia and South-East Asia [55]. It is a bottom dweller and can tolerate high turbid water during dry season [56]. It is considered as herbivorous fish feeding mainly on vegetable matter, followed by crustaceans and other insect larvae.…”

These fish species have been reported to convert raw protein from Azolla into the best edible protein, thus reduces the cost of production of feeds [11]. Also, it is reported to have important components which enhance performance of fish. Cohen et al. [12] reported the presence of the 3-Deoxyanthocyanins which are the only known flavonoids of Azolla. In addition, Mithraja et al. [13] reported various antioxidants like phyto-constituents such as tannins, phenolic contents and flavonoids from Azolla crude extract. Therefore, this review aimed to explore the significance of Azolla in fish diets from the recent studies conducted by several researchers in the field of aquaculture nutrition. Literature Review Origin, classification and distribution of Azolla species Azolla is a genus of aquatic ferns and small leafed floating plants, native to the tropics, subtropics, and warm temperate regions of Africa, Asia, and America [14]. It is very sensitive to lack of water in aquatic ecosystems such as stagnant waters, ponds, ditches, canals or paddy fields. These areas may be seasonally covered by a mat of Azolla associated with other free-floating plants species such as Duckweed (Lemna minor L.), Water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.), Water caltrop (Trapa natans L.), Water meal (Wolffia Horkel ex Schleid) and mud-rooting species such as Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum L.), Water purslane (Ludwigia palustris L.) and Knot weed, Polygonum arenastrum [15]. Literature shows that, Azolla domestication dates back to the 11 t h century in Vietnam [16], and the genus was botanically established by Lamarck in 1783 [15]. The Azolla are categorized either into subgenera or taxonomic "section" level. In subgenera classification, Azolla are divided into two genera based on the sporocarp characters: Euazolla and Rhizosperma [16]. Euazolla is further classified into the taxonomic "section" level [17] which have 5 species, namely Willd (A. caroliniana), Lam (A. filiculoides), Presl (A. Mexicana), Kaulf (A. microphylla) and A.

“…Some researchers have reported it as a carnivorous fish while some others have documented its omnivorous feeding habit. This kind of contradiction regarding feeding habit has earlier been reported for many other fish species [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. Most of the earlier researchers have concluded on feeding habit of only adult O. pabda except Chakrabarti et al [5] who have studied feeding habit of both fry and adult stages.…”

Ompok pabda commonly known as pabda or butter catfish is a freshwater species which is widely distributed in India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. In India and Bangladesh, this fish species has high preference as a table fish due to its delicious taste and high nutritional value. Its acceptability as an ornamental fish has recently been reported. Due to number of reasons, its population has been declined abruptly and due to reduced abundance in nature it has already been enlisted as an endangered species both in India and Bangladesh. It has been placed under near threatened category as per IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Earlier little research has been conducted on feeding and reproductive biology of this fish species; but so far no such consolidated report is available on these aspects. The present report thus aims to consolidate the earlier documented information with pointing out the knowledge gaps on these aspects along with suggesting some strategies which can be considered for the conservation of this fish species in near future.

The concept of “state fishes of India” highlights the importance and significance of the prioritized fish species distributed across various states within the country. This review article systematically documents the current status of state fishes from various perspectives, identifies the prevailing knowledge gaps, and also highlights the issues and strategic plans essential for the conservation and sustainable utilization of these valuable genetic resources. A total of 8357 publications were checked for the consolidated information on state fish species, and the appropriate items were selected under eight categories: biology, physiology and nutrition, aquaculture, habitat and environmental parameters, genetics and biotechnology, harvest and postharvest, fish health management, and others. The synthesized information was used to present the current status of research and development on state fish species. The knowledge gaps that are to be addressed are also depicted under the perspectives of fisheries management and conservation aquaculture. Based on the findings, strategic plans for the targeted conservation programmes are proposed and discussed under various in situ and ex situ conservation measures. Further, the departmental processes involved in the declaration, the importance of stakeholder involvement, namely, local communities and policymakers, in fostering effective conservation measures, and planning for utilization of these valuable fish genetic resources are also indicated.
