Aquatic Biodiversity --- A Neglected Story

Abstract

A comparison of conservation measures directed towards terrestrial and aquatic environment revealed the magnitude of loss yielded by this sector only due to want of less attention from conservation biologists. For a considerable time frame, except marine mammals, the activities relating to preservation of aquatic biodiversity seem to be lagging far behind than that of the terrestrial component. Now at this space when a considerable number fishes and other important aquatic animals has disappeared and with the realization that fish is the only feed resources harvested from natural population, a growing concern has come up for proper management of this unique natural resources.
