The long time strategy of the Centre aims at bringing about a collective and holistic approach for the coastal community in the field of natural resources management, training and capacity building and also sustainable livelihood options. With this idea in mind a few self-help groups of fisherwomen were formed and given training on various aspects of hygienic preprocessing of fish and preparation of value added items. The activities of the self-help groups in preparing various value added items of fish such as shrimp idly powder, ready to cook fish ,dry fish ,masala dry fish ,fish pickles, prawn pickle and how these activities have helped to enhance the livelihood of the women are described in this presentation.<#LINE#>IGNOU@School of Agriculture, Diploma in Fish Products Technology course material@(2010)@No$Joseph A.C.@Value Added Fishery Products: in Product Development and Seafood Safety (Eds.

The morphological attributes of tiger are remarkable to enable the species for successful predation in nature. Now tiger have increased in their reserve and peripheral areas. However, these source areas require ongoing managerial support and protection with improved field delivery. Being a territorial carnivore which inhabits metapopulation, connectivity is required between “source and sink” populations. In addition, such populations need to be connected with other source areas as well as through corridor for gene flow. As the Kosi corridor of Corbett is merely vanishing. So for genetic viability between two regions i.e. Corbett and Ramnagar forest division should be maintain by protecting the corridor through strict action against anthropogenic stress without political resolution. Present study depicts the tiger census of three decades of its wilderness in Corbett Tiger Reserve.<#LINE#>Bagchi S.P., Goyal P and Sankar K@Prey abundance and Prey selection by tigers (Panthera tigris) in a semi-arid, dry deciduous forest in western India@J.

The experiment was carried out for 120 days in outdoor circular cement cistern of 380 litre capacity. The culture strategies/treatments employed are monoculture of pacu with feeding alone (T1), monoculture of pacu, with fertilization alone (T2), polyculture of pacu with Indian major carps with feeding alone (T3), polyculture of pacu with Indian major carps with fertilization alone (T4) and polyculture of pacu with Indian major carps in periphyton based system (T5). Each treatment was subjected to three replication. In case of monoculture a total numbers of 10 fishes were stocked in each cistern. Where as in case of polyculture pacu, catla, rohu and mrigal were stocked in the proportion 3:2:3:2 respectively. In treatment involving feed, feeding was done with locally available conventional feed with overall protein content of 30% and given at the rate of 10% of body weight daily. In the treatments involving fertilization, and substrate all tanks were initially fertilized with raw cow dung of 150g in combination with 2 g of urea. Subsequent fertilization of 1/4th of the initial level was done fortnightly. Coconut spadix in mat form was used as a substrate for periphyton growth. Fish were sampled every fortnightly for weight gain measurements. All the water quality parameters were within the desirable range. Mean weight gain of pacu in monoculture was 29.58g (T1) and 17.33g (T2). In polyculture mean weight gain of pacu, was 27.13g (T3), 16.48g (T4) and 18.29g (T5).Mean survival rate of pacu was good in all treatment with average value ranging from 83.33 % (T1) to 100% (T5). Inclusion of pacu along with Indian major carps does not have any impact on the survival rate of catla, rohu and mrigal. Highest mean specific growth rate of pacu was recorded in T3 (2.16). The result of this experiment indicates that the best growth performance of pacu was in monoculture with feeding. In polyculture the best growth performance of pacu was obtained with feeding alone followed by periphyton based system. The present study concluded that pacu is a promising candidate species in freshwater aquaculture. Monoculture with feeding is a feasible approach. Monoculture in fertilized systems is less productive. Pacu is a compatible species for culturing along with Indian major carps. Growth of pacu is higher in fertilized systems with added substrates.<#LINE#>Chaterjee N. and Mazumder B@Induced breeding of pacu Piaractus brachypomus in captivity with pituitary extract@Aquaculture Asia magazine, 14(2), 2 (2009)@Yes$Cagauan A.G.@Red-bellied Pacu in the Philippines, Journal of Environmental Science and Management@10(1), 42–47 (2007)@Yes$Borghetti J.R. and Canzi C@The effect of water temperature and feeding rate on the growth rate of pacu (Piaractus brachypomus) raised in cages@Aquaculture,93-101 (1993)@Yes$Magallanes F.@Subfamily Serrasalminae@Available at (http://www.opefe.com/serrasalminae.html), Oregon Piranha Exotic Fish Exhibit, (2006)@No$Merola N.@Effects of three protein level on the growth of pacu, Colossoma mitrei (Berg), in cages, Aquacult.
