Information on diet composition and feeding habits of species is very much essential for the scientific planning to develop sustainable management plans. The biology Trichiurus lepturus was studied during 2014 2018 from 6167 3346 specimens collected a weekly basis along Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) Western Bay Bengal (WBB), respectively. Crustaceans mainly represented Acetes spp. (98.6 %) were cat...

Organochlorine pesticides (OCP) are legacy anthropogenic compounds known to persist for several years in the environment. The continuous use of some OCP, such as DDT, after restrictions developing countries cause concern, due their deleterious effects marine life and humans. Studies assessing OCP contamination coastal environments still scarce South America there is a need understand impacts fr...

Breast feathers were used to estimate mercury levels in six marine birds nesting in the tropical western Indian Ocean, i.e. Sooty Tern (Sterna fuscata), Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus), Lesser Noddy (Anous tenuirostris), Audubon Shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri bailloni), Barau's Petrel (Pterodroma baraui) and the White-tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus). Juveniles consistently showed lower plu...

Seabird tissues collected between 2002 and 2004 from Barau’s Petrel (Pterodroma baraui), Audubon’s Shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri bailloni), and White-Tailed Trop icbird (Phaethon lepturus) colonies on Reunion Island were analyzed for metallothioneins (MTs) and trace element content. The subcellular distribution between soluble and insoluble fractions of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn was determi...

Marine coastal fishery often yields a considerable portion of the non-target species and by-catch as trash fish in total catch. Generally, it consists edible inedible species, which are unacceptable for human consumption usually discarded waste. However, has significant potential to use animal feed. The current study was intended determine proximate composition abundant selected landing sites J...

The role of frameworks in information systems has recently received a great deal of critical attention. One prominent indictment, which has been directed at even commonly accepted frameworks, is that they lack empirical support, and in fact are not constructed in operational terminology. This article reports the results of an experimental lab study using MBA students as subjects to investigate ...
