“…The runoff of various salt deposits such as halite or gypsum is found in sedimentary rocks, as well as discharges from industrial effluents containing dissolved salts and leachates from saline soils ultimately lead to formation of brackish water [ 10 , 11 ]. Salinity is believed to have an impact on around one-third of the world's cultivable land [ 12 ].…”

Salinization of aquatic ecosystem, abrupt climate change, and anthropogenic activities cause adverse impact on agricultural land/soil as well as the aquaculture industry. This experimental study was designed to evaluate different biomarkers of oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes, and genotoxic potential of diverse salinities of brackish water on freshwater fish. A total of 84 fresh water mrigal carp (Cirrhinus mrigala) were randomly segregated and maintained in four groups (T0, T1, T2, and T3) in a glass aquarium under similar laboratory conditions at various salinity levels (0, 3, 5, and 7 parts per thousand) to determine the pathological influence of brackish water. All the fish in groups T1, T2, and T3 were exposed to various salinity levels of brackish water for a period of 90 days while the fish of group T0 served as the control group. The experimental fish reared in different groups T1, T2, and T3 displayed various physical and behavioral ailments. The results revealed significantly augmented quantity of different oxidative stress indicators including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) in different visceral tissues (kidneys, liver, and gills) of exposed fish. Different antioxidant enzymes such as reduced glutathione (GSH), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) along with total proteins were remarkably reduced in the kidneys, gills, and liver tissues. Results showed significantly increased values of different nuclear abnormalities (erythrocyte with micronucleus, erythrocyte with condensed nucleus, and erythrocyte with lobed nucleus) and morphological changes (pear shaped erythrocyte, spindle-shaped erythrocytes, and spherocyte) in red blood cells of experimental fish. The results on genotoxic effects exhibited significantly increased DNA damage in isolated cells of liver, kidneys, and gills of exposed fish. The findings of our experimental research suggested that brackish water causes adverse toxicological impacts on different visceral tissues of fresh water fish at higher salinity level through disruption and disorder of physiological and biochemical markers.

“…The main causes of soil salinization in both coastal and inland states are waterlogging, indiscriminate use of inorganic fertilizers, and overirrigation (Beresford et al 2004). Globally, around one‐third of the cultivable land is reported to be under the influence of salinity (Singh et al 2017). In India alone, an estimated 8.62 million hectares are affected by soil salinization (Lakra et al 2014).…”

The Effect of Inland Saline Groundwater on Growth, Maturation, and Osmoregulation of Common Carp

et al. 2020

A 90‐day experiment was conducted on Common Carp Cyprinus carpio in eight rectangular earthen ponds (21 × 10 × 1.50 m) for testing the effect of four groundwater salinities (0, 5, 10, and 15‰). At the end of the experiment, 100% survival was observed in all of the treatment groups. Somatic growth and reproductive performance were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by salinity. Both males and females showed a significantly higher gonadosomatic index (24.46 ± 4.11% [mean ± SE]) at 5‰ (P < 0.05) compared with the fish that were kept in freshwater (15.92 ± 2.43%). The gonadal osmolality and osmolytes of the seminal and ovarian fluids increased in proportion to salinity. Ova diameter was inversely related to salinity. The incidence of spawning at 5‰ was significantly higher than at 0, 10, and 15‰. The gonadosomatic index was also significantly higher (30.15 ± 3.44%) at 5‰ followed by 0, 10, and 15‰, respectively. We concluded that the optimum salinity for the maturation of Common Carp is 5‰.

“…Another untapped resource is the inland saline areas which are unfit for agriculture. About 8.62 million hectares of salt and alkalinity affected soils exist across the states of Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat (Singh et al, 2017). Countries like China, Egypt and Israel, are known to efficiently utilize this resource for increasing aquaculture productivity (FAO, 2018).…”

India tops the world in aquaculture production next to China. The present blue revolution envisages tripling fish production of India by 2020, which necessitates effective resource utilization. The aquaculture resources of a country cannot only be limited to land and water availability but also to its species diversity, workforce and infrastructure facilities. Though Indian aquaculture has registered increased production in the past few years, the productivity in terms of water and manpower resources remain very low. There is also, a need for diversification of species for mariculture activities. Hence, this paper examines the status of Indian aquaculture from a global perspective to sort out ways for enhancing productivity.

Inland Saline Aquaculture-A Hope for Farmers

Abstract: Soil salinity is one of the serious global problems telling upon economic utilization of land resources in arid and semi-arid environments. About one third of the cultivable land under irrigation in the world is presently known to be under the influence of salinity.
