The survival rate of Penaeus monodon was monitored for a decade (2010-2019) in two shrimp culture ponds at Chemaguri located Sagar Island the Indian Sundarbans delta complex. exhibited significant variations terms cultured species, which is attributed to nitrate, phosphate, and dissolved oxygen. root cause such difference related variation stocking density species (10 PL20/m2 pond 1 25 2) resul...

Populations of culturable microbes and activeties of dehydrogenase & β-D glucosidase were found maximum in surface soil and decreased with increase in depth in Sundarban mangrove environment. The maximum (13.529 × 10 C.F.U g dry weight of soil) and minimum (11.547 × 10 C.F.U g dry weight of soil) total microbial populations in surface soil were recorded during post-monsoon and monsoon respectiv...
