The surface water chemistry of Thiruvananthapuram Museum Lake was carried out in the period of February 2013 to January 2014. Correlation study of the parameters and overall CCME WQI (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water quality Index) was also prepared in the study for the lake water. The parameters analysed are cations such as Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+ and K+ and the anions like PO4-,...

Experiments were carried out on the survival and growth of Rasbora daniconius, Puntius ticto and Puntius conchonius. The motivation of the study was to obtain information for growing the fish on a commercial scale for their use as biological control agents against mosquito larvae. The effects of temperature, total hardness, DO, pH and feed on the growth of fish were also investigated. Excessive...

Freshwater molluscs are important components of the fauna of Singapore. However, a perusal of local literature has shown a paucity of information on these animals. A survey was conducted to investigate the occurrence and distribution of the primary (non-brackish) freshwater molluscs of Singapore. Six different types of habitats were sampled from around the island. Four localities were chosen to...
