Regular bi-monthly sampling was conducted from January, 2011 to December, 2012 by using different nets with the help of artisanal fishermen. Fishes were also collected from local fish markets. We have collected 66 fish species belonging to 9 orders, 22 families and 38 genera. Order Cypriniformes was the dominant group with 26 species followed by Siluriformes and Mugiliformes each with 11 species, Perciformes with 7 species, Anguilliformes, Cyprinodontiformes and Mastacembeliformes each with 3 species and Osteoglossiformes and Elopiformes each with 1 species. Out of 66 species, 3 species are near threatened, 3 vulnerable, 4 at lower risk near threatened, 1 at lower risk least concern, 37 least concern, 15 not evaluated and for 3 species data is deficient as per IUCN (2013) Red List category. According to CAMP (1998) conservation status, 4 species are endangered, 13 vulnerable, 24 at lower risk near threatened, 2 at lower risk least concern, 22 not evaluated and for 1 species data is deficient.<#LINE#>Nelson J.S.@Fishes of the world, 4th Edition, John Wileyand Sons@Inc., New York, 601 (2006)@No$Mittermeier R.A. and Mittermeier C.G.@Megadiversity:Earth’s Biologically Wealthiest Nation.

Egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) was prepared against cholera, by immunizing hens with formalin killed V. cholera serotype ogawa. Booster injections of the antigen were subsequently given to the chicken. Using polyethylene glycol and ammonium sulfate precipitation method the antibodies produced were purified. Further Diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose ion-exchange column chromatography was also carried out. From the egg yolk the IgY fraction was separated and each step of the separation was viewed on Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The specificity and reactivity of V. cholera was confirmed by ELISA method. The highest titer of antibody at the dilution of 1:10000 was observed at the 21st week of vaccination and the serum agglutination test also showed a positive result. So it can be suggested that anti- V. cholera produced had a high specificity towards V. cholera O1. As a result anti- V. cholerae IgY may be utilized as preventive agent against Cholera infection.<#LINE#>Greenfield Ronald A., Drevets M., Douglas A., Machado.,Linda J., Voskuhl Gene W., Cornea, Pau., Bronze.,Michael S.@Bacterial Pathogens as Biological Weapons andAgents of bioterrorism@American Journal of the MedicalSciences, 323(6), 299-315 (2002)@Yes$Lowry O.H., Rosebrough N.J., Farr A.L. and Randall R.J.@Protein measurement with the Folin phenol reagent@J BiolChem, 193(1), 265–75 (1951)@Yes$Laemmli U.K.@Cleavage of structural proteins during theassembly of the head of bacteriophage T4@Nature, 227,680–5 (1970)@Yes$Akita E.M. and Nakai S.@Comparison of four purificationmethods for the production of immunoglobulins from eggslaid by hens immunized with an enterotoxigenic E.colistrain@Journal of Immunological Methods, 160, 207-214(1993)@Yes$Sunwoo H.H., Lee E.N., Mennien K., Suresh M.R. and SimJ.S.@Growth inhibitory effect of Chicken egg yolk antibody(IgY) on Escherichia coliO157:H7@J Food Sci, 67, 1486-1494 (2002)@Yes$Polson A., Von Wechmar M.B., Van Regenmortel M.H.@Isolation of viral IgY antibodies from yolks of immunizedhens@Immunol Commun., 9(5), 475–493 (1980)@Yes$Voller A., Bartlett D.E., Bidwell D.E., Clark M.F., AdamsA.N.@The detection of viruses by enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA)@J Gen Virol, 33(1), 165–167 (1976)@Yes$Kazuyuk, Hirai, Hideyuki Arimitsu, Koji Umeda, KenjiYokota, Lianhua Shen, Kiyoshi Ayada, YoshikatsuKodama, Takao Tsuji, Yoshikazu Hirai, Keiji Oguma@Passive Oral immunization by Egg Yolk Immunoglobulin(IgY) to Vibrio cholera effectively prevents Cholera@ActaMedica Okayama, 64(3), 163-170 (2010)@Yes

Female reproductive physiology is a complex process and the macromolecules produce from females depend upon hormonal regulation and physiological status of the organisms. The measurement of reproductive steroids and their metabolites excreted through urine and feaces serves as purpose of communication and provides new techniques for detection of effective estrus phase in animals. For a better understanding of physiological and biochemical processes correlated to chemical communication in mammals it is necessary to monitor the chemical characterization of pheromones together with biological testing frequently. Hence, the present investigation is designed to analyze the biochemical profiles such as protein, carbohydrate, lipid and steroid hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH in prepubertal, estrus, pregnant and lactating sheep feaces. The level of protein and lipid were significantly high in estrus phase, where as the level of carbohydrate level is significantly high in prepubertal and lactating phases when compared with other phases. Further, estrogen and LH were significantly high in estrus as compared with other phases and progesterone level is significantly high in pregnant phase. Thus, the present work is concluded that biochemical and hormones in estrus phase may represent as important elicit signals to inform the estrus phase of the animals.<#LINE#>Bhatia S. and R.

Excessive concentrations of heavy metals are detrimental. They destabilize ecosystems because of their bioaccumulation in organisms, and toxic effects on biota and even death in most living beings. All heavy metals, in spite some of them are essential micronutrients, have their toxic effects on living organisms via metabolic interference and mutagenesis. The bioaccumulation of toxic metals can occur in the body and food chain. So, the toxic metals generally exhibit chronic toxicity. The heavy metals like Pb and Hg have significant toxic effects. The heavy metals are important pollutants for fishes, because these are not eliminated from aquatic systems by natural methods, such as organic pollutants, and are enriched in mineral organic substances. Occurrence of heavy metals differs in fishes, depending on their age, development and other physiological factors. Among animal species, the fishes are inhabitants which can be highly affected by these toxic pollutants. Heavy metals can have toxic effects on different organs. They can enter into water via drainage, atmosphere, soil erosion and all human activities by different ways. As the heavy metals concentrated more in the environment, they enter biogeochemical cycle, leading to toxicity.<#LINE#>Lenntech B.V.@@Heavy Metals, Available at Website:www.lenntech.co./periodic.periodic-chart.htm (2012)@No$Heavy Metals@@Available at Website: www.google.com(2013)@No$Gupta V.@Mammalian Feces as Bio-Indicator of HeavyMetal Contamination in Bikaner Zoological Garden@Rajasthan, India, Res.

The genetic diseases in dairy and beef cattle are tissue specific viz; Skeletal, central nervous system, blood, skin, muscle and ophthalmic. Some genetic diseases like Bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) are breed specific and affecting significantly on economics of dairy farming. The various scientists had reported the frequency as 3.33% and 4.0% in Iranian Holstein-Friesian and Chinese Holstein cattle respectively. However, in India BLAD carrier was estimated as 3.23% in pure and crossbred Holstein-Friesian only. The details of these genetic diseases with special reference to its definition, genetic cause (DNA mutation) and its clinical symptoms are discussed in the review. In the modern era of animal breeding, Veterinary doctors, animal scientists, cattle breeders and livestock stakeholders should have the awareness of genetic diseases and their implications. The DNA testing is currently available for some of the genetic diseases; however it is necessary to develop it for all the genetic diseases so that breeding sires can be effectively screened for undesirable alleles and culled to avoid further propagation in breeding population. The information in the review can aid in investigating, reporting, treating and suggesting strategies for elimination of undesirable genes from breeding population.<#LINE#>Schalles R.
