“…Tian et al, (2008) reported that the species mostly feeds on crustaceans and other fishes. Moreover, the species is found to be commercially important (Nath & Patra, 2015;Kar et al, 2017). As per Xu et al, (2016) the maximum recorded total length of the species was 33.4 cm.…”

Hamilton-Buchanan (1822) described Gobioides rubicundus currently known as Odontamblyopus rubicundus locality from the estuaries of Ganges River, India. Along with Odontamblyopus rubicundus (Hamilton 1822), four other species were described in the genus Odontamblyopus: O. lacepedii (Temminck and Schlegel, 1842), O. rebecca (Murdy and Shibukawa, 2003), O. roseus (Valenciennes, 1837), and O. tenuis

“…The diversity found in the present study was 37 species lower than that found in a recent study (Roshith et al 2013), in which nine sample locations were selected. Perciformes (29.66%) was the most dominant order, as observed by Nath and Patra (2015). The highest richness, diversity, and evenness indices revealed that stn-1 had greater sh diversity which might be attributed to slow water, less tidal in uence, less anthropogenic interference, deep pool (meeting point with another river Jalangi), and presence of enriched macrophytes (Grown et al 2003;Raghavan et al 2008).…”

The greatest estuary created by the Gangetic delta in India is the Hooghly estuary. Despite their importance to the estuarine biodiversity, the tidal freshwater areas of this estuary have gained little interest from ecologists. Present study aims to explore the fish diversity with its assemblage pattern and their relationship with physico-chemical parameters from June 2020 to May 2021. There have been identified 118 species in total, from 14 orders and 47 families, with seven (7) being near threatened, fifteen (15) vulnerable, four (4) endangered, and eight (8) not evaluated. Perciformes (29.66%), Cypriniformes (22.88%), and Siluriformes (21.18%) accounted for 73.72% of the overall species count. Station-1 has significantly higher species richness, rarefied richness, and abundance. Station-3 and station-2 followed station-1 respectively. The composition of fish species changed significantly among the stations, as shown by cluster analysis, nMDS (nonmetric multidimensional scaling), ANOSIM (analysis of similarities), and SIMPER (similarity percentage analysis) (p < 0.05). The canonical correspondence analysis revealed that alkalinity, conductivity, phosphate, and total carbon dioxide of the water were the key environmental parameters. In addition to defining a sustainable management method for the fish resources in the Hooghly estuary, this effort will act as a baseline study for further investigation.

“…In the pan-Indian context, the river Ganga is considered to be the sixth-most polluted river in the world (Sawe, 2017; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollution_of_the_Ganges). The primary sources of pollution are domestic waste discharges, untreated raw sewage, deposition of human bodies and cremated remains, agriculture runoff, and industrial effluents (Nath et al , 2017). The polluted water from the river's upper courses continue to collect filth and pollutants as it flows through Kolkata.…”

PurposeThe paper introduces a lesser-known cultural landscape along the sacred Bhagirathi-Hooghly river in the Indian city of Kolkata, with particular reference to its built and natural heritage. The narratives cover the cultural and ecological qualities of the unique “ghat-scape” (riverfront pavilions with steps descending into the river) and their contemporary urban challenges. It also explores the suitability of the Historic Cultural Landscape (HCL) tools, or their adapted versions, in managing this exceptional landscape.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is structured under six discrete sections covering the inventory and assessment, interpretation and evaluation and possible roadmap for the ecological restoration of the riverfront cultural landscape. Primary and secondary studies were conducted to understand the related challenges and opportunities. The authors then examined the application of the HCL tools based on a conceptual framework and identified the alternative approaches suitable for its restoration. Finally, a successfully restored ghat environ is taken as a model and reviewed against the most potent approach in addressing the eco-cultural criticalities.FindingsThe paper argues in favour of a paradigm shift from riverfront “development” to riverfront “restoration” with particular emphasis on the ghat-architecture. Three eco-cultural restoration alternatives were derived out of the HCL principles. A practical case study found that a community-led approach positively influences restorative actions, cultural heritage management and long-term sustainability.Originality/valueThe HCL tools comprising planning, regulatory systems, financial designs and community engagement have been explored for the first time in the context of the unique riverfront “ghatscape” of Kolkata. An under-discussed topic, it has been brought to the centre stage to gain new insights into the Indian cultural landscape heritage. An HCL-based new approach in their management came forth through a review of a successful case study.
