JandK (India). For this purpose, monthly sampling was done from two stations identified on the basis of the extent of anthropogenic activities. Physico-chemical parameters viz temp Air/Water, pH, DO, FCO, Cl- , Ca , Mg , HCO were assessed from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012. This water body harbours only one species of crab i.e. Paratelphusa masoniana. Population survey over a period of one year (Jan 2012-Dec 2012) revealed abundance of Crabs, to be more at station II as compared to station I as indicated by catch per unit. Presently, an attempt has been made to co-relate the observed variations with habitat disturbance. It was observed that total crab population exhibited a positive correlation to water temperature .009885, pH 0.338326, Dissolved Oxygen 0.174293, Calcium 0.056325 Magnesium 0.602844, while negative correlation was exhibited with chloride --0.00447, HCO- --0.245292 and FCO --0.396196<#LINE#>Cumberlidge N. and Collen B.@Fresh water Crabs and thebio-diversity Crisis: important threats, status andconservation challenges@Biological conservation, 1428,1665-1673 (2009)@No$Chace F.A.

Milk, meat and egg production forecast have recently received a great deal of attention for planning and policy purposes. With this in mind, the present study was undertaken to find out appropriate deterministic type growth model using latest model selection criteria that could best describe the growth pattern of milk, meat and egg production in Bangladesh during the time periods 1991-92 to 2011-12. The study revealed that the cubic model is the best fitted model for milk, meat and linear model is the best for egg production. The selected model was used for succeeding four years forecast with a 95% confidence interval of milk, meat and egg production. The analysis found that if the present growth rates continue then the production of milk, meat and egg would be 4.55, 3.77, and 7544.67 million tons, respectively, in the year 2015-16. The findings of this study will help the policy makers to take necessary actions for proper management of milk, meat and egg production according to their demand and supply.<#LINE#>@Bangladesh Economic Review (BER), Bangladesh Bureauof Statistics (BBS)@Various issues, (2011)@No$@Directorate of Livestock Services (DLS)@Khamer BariRoad, Dhaka, Bangladesh, (2010)@No$Tareque A.M.M. and Chowdhury S.M.Z.H.@AgriculturalResearch Priority: Vision- 2030 and beyond@BARC,Farmgate, Dhaka (2010)@Yes$@undefined@undefined@No$Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), Asian milk forhealth and wealth@(2008)@undefined@No$Livestock Policy and Action Plan@Department of LivestockServices, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock@Governmentof Bangladesh, (2005)@No$Pindyck R.S. and Rubinfeld D.L.@Econometric models andEconomic Forecasts, 4th edition@McGraw-Hill Inc., NewYork, 230-236 (1998)@Yes$Gujarati D.N.@Basic Econometrics, 4th edition@McgrawHillInc., New York, 23-26 (2003)@Yes$Schwarz, G.@Estimating the dimension of a model@AnnualStatistics, 6, 461-464 (1978)@Yes$Akaike H.@Information, Theory and Extension of theMaximum Likelihood Proncipal, In 2nd InternationalSymposium in Information@B.N.

The 96h LC50 values was determined by the Litchfield and Wilcoxon graphical method. These were for Det-I20.0mg/litre and Det-II 23.5mg/litre. During exposure period, the test fishes exhibited several behavioural changes before death such as restlessness, rapid swimming, and loss of balance, respiratory distress and haemorrhaging of gill filaments amongst others. Opercula ventilation rate as well as visual examination of dead fish indicates lethal effects of the detergent on the fish.<#LINE#>Mohanrao G.J.@Behaviour of synthetic detergents insewage treatment@Environ Health, 19-30 (1963)@No$Itoch S.I., Naito S. and Unemoto T.@Comparative studieson the anaerobic biodegradations of anionic and nonionicSurfactant@EISEI KANGAKU, 33(6), 415-422 (1987)@No$Singh R.P., Devendra Swarrop and Annie K.@Surfactantsand their toxicity to aquatic animals@Ecotoxicol.

This research was conducted to compare the quantities of three phytochemicals; tannin, alkaloids and flavonoids in the leaves of three varieties of Capsicum annum. These phytochemicals are medicinal in treatment of some ailments. At the end of the experiment, it was observed that Nsukka variety of Capsicum annum has the highest tannin, alkaloids and flavonoids, having the mean figure of 1.83, 5.82 and 3.86 respectively. Again, the tannins in Atarugu variety (1.76) are greater than that of Otuocha (1.41) variety, although, the alkaloids and flavonoids in Otuocha (5.75 and 3.77) are greater than that in Atarugu variety (4.74 and 3.41). From the research, it was observed that Nsukka variety of Capsicum annum will be more medicinal compared to Atarugu and Otuocha varieties.<#LINE#>Singh G.@Plant Systematics.
