“…Extensive efforts have been made to reclaim and utilize these lands by rearing freshwater (food and ornamental) and brackishwater species. Among ornamental fish species, Koi carp and goldfish have also been successfully cultured in the inland saline waters of Punjab (Sharma et al 2017 andBhatt et al 2018) with regard to stress responses in terms of physiological changes. It has been observed that black molly ornamental fish can tolerate salinity, when maintained in inland saline waters for a short time period.…”

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...

A major issue related to the environment, is namely the lack of water and in general the reduction of clean water supplies over time, mostly in our days due to climate change. Through the projection of scientific data, we want to raise the issue and above all to make people feel the importance of the situation. Then, under the context of awareness raising, we present suggested solutions that we have found to solve this serious problem. We also need to add our own solution for an economical method of water desalination and purification. This will reduce the feeling of water scarcity without however being a definitive solution.

Chitin, as one of nature’s most abundant structural polysaccharides, possesses worldwide, high industrial potential and a functionality that is topically pertinent. Nowadays, the metallization of naturally predesigned, 3D chitinous scaffolds originating from marine sponges is drawing focused attention. These invertebrates represent a unique, renewable source of specialized chitin due to their ability to grow under marine farming conditions. In this study, the development of composite material in the form of 3D chitin-based skeletal scaffolds covered with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Ag-bromide is described for the first time. Additionally, the antibacterial properties of the obtained materials and their possible applications as a water filtration system are also investigated.
