“…This group of snow trout belongs to the subfamily Schizothoracinae and family Cyprinidae and are classified under vulnerable (VU) in India by the IUCN (2012 along with scanty information regarding its taxonomy, distribution, biology, and food value. The demand for this group of fish has increased drastically with increasing fishing pressure on natural aquatic resources due to lack of much sustained aquaculture avenues in this hill locked part of India (Baruah et al 2018). Henceforth, an attempt has been made to highlight the status of snow trout fisheries thriving in the upland aquatic habitats in eastern Himalayan State of Arunachal Pradesh.…”

The Indian Ecological Society, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) is organizing 3 days conference on "Fisheries and Aquaculture: An Ecological Perspective" (IESFAC-2023) from 22 nd to 24 th February, 2023 in collaboration with Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU) at Ludhiana, Punjab; which is first of its kind in the State to deliberate on strategic innovations and key issues related to eco-sustainability, economic viability and resilience of aqua food production resources. Socio-economic contribution of fisheries sector is evident from its contributions towards food security, malnutrition, livelihood sustenance, employment generation and economic growth at community, regional, national and global levels; in special reference to rural development in developing countries like India. In view of prospective role of the fisheries sector in fulfilling united nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) to attain "Zero Hunger" and "Good Health and Well Being", it is vital to develop the sector in an eco-responsible manner. Further, conservation and sustainable use of aquatic resources advocated under the SDG-14 "Life below Water" also relates to economic value of fisheries sector in many ways.Veteran experts, scientists, young fisheries professionals, farmers and industry representatives will be sharing the conference platform to present latest innovative technologies, requirements, issues and strategies for sustainable development of the sector; under different theme areas covering aquaculture production systems; sustainable aquafeeds and feed technologies; genetics, breeding and biotechnology, aquaculture environment/health management and one health; responsible aquaculture and climate resilience in fisheries; aquatic ecosystem assessment, management and conservation; processing, value addition, quality assurance and marketing; and capacity building and socio-economic empowerment. National and international experts have contributed their research findings and experiences for wider sharing and debate for fruitful linkages and applications. Keynote and lead speakers from esteemed national and international institutes will interact with the participants on important issues related to human resource requirements; sustainable economic utilization of aquatic resources; species and production system diversifications; organic recycling based integrated aquafarming technologies; quality assurance; economic and smart feed technologies; AMR and responsible aquaculture; processing towards circular bioeconomy; marketing and export; and doubling farmers income through food and ornamental fish/shellfish culture in freshwater, brackish water and marine water resources.An effective forward and backward feedback system is required to address need based regional requirements of the stakeholders to remove weak links within the supply chain and in this context an "Academia-Farmer-Industry" interface during the conference will help in spotlighting required actions to reinforce the sector in interest of stak...

“…Tso), and Sungester, located in the eastern Himalayas in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, were chosen. The three lakes are significant wetlands in Arunachal Pradesh and serve as crucial habitats for endemic birds and prime fishing locations. , The objectives of the present study are (a) to identify the anthropogenic input in the lake environment, denoting the presence of PAHs and HMs as anthropogenic markers, (b) to determine the aerosol size distribution in the surrounding areas, (c) to trace the origin of pollutant carrying air-masses using HYSPLIT back-trajectory model, and (d) to understand the effect of long-range transported pollutant deposition on lake environment. To our knowledge, it is important to note that this article documents the first data on PAHs and HMs in the eastern Himalayan region.…”

We quantified polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (HMs) in the sediments and aerosols of the Eastern Himalayan Lakes, collected over four years from three high altitude Lakes (HALs), i.e., Sungester Lake, P.T. Tso Lake, and Sela Lake. The focus was to carry out source apportionment using multivariate statistical analyses. PAH concentrations (∑PAHs) in the core sediment during the pre-monsoon were higher than the post-monsoon, suggesting an elevated sedimentation rate in the lakes. In general, low molecular weight PAHs (LMWPAHs) were more abundant than high molecular weight PAHs (HMWPAHs) in both pre-and post-monsoon seasons in surface and core sediment samples. The 4-ring PAHs were the most profuse among all samples, followed by the 5-ring, 3-ring, and 2ring PAHs. The average diagnostic ratio indicated that PAHs sourced from pyrogenic coal combustion, fossil fuel and diesel emissions. Metal fractionation revealed the predominant presence of Fe in all the HALs, with the highest concentration in Lake P.T. Tso. The residual fraction was highest for all HMs, except Cd, where the exchangeable fraction was prominent. HYSPLIT model implied that long-range transported atmospheric pollution from the mid-Gangetic plains significantly impacts the sediment of lakes in the region.
