Corollary of Marine Eco-system Sustainability by Addressing the Issues of Bycatches
Authors: Pandey Pramod Kumar , Lahiri Biswajit , Ghosh Amitava
Published: April 2020

The issue of bycatch in fisheries sector has been a major concern for the marine biologists over few decades in terms of conservation of marine eco-system and sustainability of the fisheries sector and marine biodiversity. Bycatch generally include species of little commercial importance, which in most cases is dumped overboard either into the sea or after reaching the fish landing sites. The article discusses the ecological, economic, legal, social influences, and the importance in addressing the issue of bycatch. The concept of bycatch is relatively new in the horizon in Indian perspective as it is often considered major issues by developed nations which are characterised by highly mechanised and industrialised fisheries. The problem of bycatch is seen as the depletion of this food source for local consumption and therefore a threat to livelihoods and food security in general and it has environmental, economic, socio-cultural impacts. The adverse effects of by-catch can be mitigated through commercialisation of bycatch and making profits from the sale of bycatch, opening up of new markets for bycatch species or products, uses of fishmeal as feed in the poultry and aquaculture industries and application of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs). The revamping the present monitoring system used to collect fisheries data, strengthening technical know-how, bringing effective policy intervention, efficient co-management, and sincere and honest efforts in reducing bycatch and discards may provide a considerable impact towards sustainability of marine eco-system.

This study evaluated the effect of enriched artemia nauplii with commercial probiotic for angelfish larvae determining productive performance, intestinal modulation and survival. Therefore, it experiment occurred in completely randomized design with five treatments (T1- 0.0, T2- 1.5, T3- 3.0, T4- 4.5 and T5- 6.0g of commercial probiotic) and four replaces during 20 days. After larvaculture, post larvae passed by biometric procedures to determine productive performance and then microbiological analysis. Occurred reduction of total heterotrophic bacteria while increased lactic acid bacteria in the intestinal tract from the post larvae for treatments T3, T4 and T5. The commercial probiotic also increased the survival and performance as final weight, weight gain and specific growth rate. For these reasons, the use of 3g of commercial probiotic promotes greater performance and intestinal modulation for angelfish larvae.

A study was carried out to evaluate growth performance and carcass characteristics of broiler birds fed with varying level of choline inclusion in their diets; T1 (control), T2 (10g/10kg) and T3 (20g/10kg). A total of 225 marshall broiler chicks were randomly divided into three (3) treatment group of 75 birds each. Each group was divided into five (5) replicates of fifteen (15) birds each laid in a completely randomized design. Feed and water was supplied ad-libitum and the experiment lasted for 49 days. The total feed intake (1316.75-14442.18) (24437.13-31999.76) for starter and finisher respectively, body weight gain (6227.30-8241.20) (10956.64-14182.96) for starter and finisher respectively, feed conversion ratio (1.73-2.26) (2.21-2.48) for starter and finisher respectively. Many (thigh, wings, back) of the carcass parameters measured were not significantly (p>0.05) affected by the treatments but significant difference (p<0.05) was observed in drum stick, breast and neck.  However, significant difference (p<0.05) was also observed in gizzard, liver and bile, heart, lungs, legs and head. There was significant difference (p<0.05) in primal cuts per live weight, primal cuts per dressed weight, organs per live weight and organs per dressed weight. In view of the results obtained, it can be concluded that treatment two (10g/10kg) performed better in terms of total body weight (TBW) and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Also in the carcass characteristics, treatment two performed better in terms of breast yield, drumstick, percentage of primal cuts from live weight (P/LW) and percentage of primal cuts from dressed weight.

In agriculture, the volume and quality of the use of modern technologies, including systems for collecting, storing and processing data, is noticeably growing. This increases both the amount of data and the need for high-quality processing and reliable conclusions that you can rely on when making decisions. The lack of information for decision making leads to the fact that in the process of cultivating crops, up to 40 % of the crop is lost. Further automation of processes at all stages of the production cycle represents a higher level of digital integration, which affects the most complex organizational changes in the agricultural business, but their implementation can dramatically affect profit and competitiveness of products. The modernization of the agricultural sector is based on the transition to «intelligent agriculture». The greatest interest to science and practice is the intellectualization of agricultural technology management, where the basis is expert systems in which management decisions are made through knowledge bases (KB), formed through analytical control systems located in data centers. In this paper, we consider expert systems for the state control of spring wheat. To this type of management we attribute the task of preliminary formation of the sequence of technological operations on one growing season. In the cloud information system, the generated knowledge bases are transferred from the data center to local management systems at the request of consumers.

Bioactivation of different crops grain is a promising area for improving agricultural technologies. Safe and highly effective bioactivators accelerate biological processes in grain, which must be taken into account when using it in feeding farm animals. The scientific work objective was the selection of safe bioactivators that would not have a negative effect on animals. The use of organic acids was proposed such as citric, malic and grape with a given concentration of active substances. This technological solution allows to intensify the biological processes in the grain material, namely, to cause the enzymatic depolymerization of grain or the crops germination intended for animal feeding. In addition, fruit acids partially disinfect the grain surface and inhibit the development of pathogenic microflora. The presented organic acids and their solutions are recommended for processing grain before feeding, by spraying or one-time soaking in aqueous solutions of these acids. The studies were carried out on the basis of the scientific and production laboratory for determining the quality of grain and grain products of the Dnieper State Agrarian and Economic University. Growth stimulants were characterized by a stable effect and low toxicity. They can be used both in agriculture and in the bioactivated grain production for other technologies.

The work was carried out as part of multi-year research on the effectiveness of fungicides and agrochemicals with various active ingredients on sports turf in different regions of Russia. The results of comparing the effectiveness of fungicides and their mixtures against a complex of fungal diseases in 2019 on a football pitch in Sochi are presented. We compared the following fungicides and their mixtures: Vitaplan (strains of Bacillus subtilis); Super Humisol (humic compounds, phytohormones, macro-, microelements); TMTD-plus (thiram, immunomodulators) + Siliplant (silicа-containing organic fertilizer); TMTD-plus; Falcon (spiroxamine + tebuconazole + triadimenol); Quadris (azoxystrobin) + Siliplant; Quadris (azoxystrobin) - standard, control - water treatment. It found that all agrochemicals to varying degrees reduced the development of plant diseases compared with the control. The lowest rates of development of plant diseases noted after the use of the Quadrice + Siliplant tank mixture. The maximum biological effectiveness was observed in a mixture of Quadris fungicide with Siliplant (44.3%) and Super Humisol (42.6%), TMTD-plus (32.8%) was slightly lower. A comprehensive assessment of the quality of turf grass was carried out at the stadium in 2018-2019, which showed that the results of hardness at the beginning of the game season were within acceptable values, and at the end they decreased due to soil compaction and mechanical damage to plants. According to the NTEP grading scale, the best effect on plant growth and development was identified after treatment with a mixture of Quadris and Siliplant.
TRANSMISSION AND PATHOGENESIS OF CATTLE LEUKEMIA

The reverse strategy of the genome of the enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL) virus and all retroviruses as pathogens represents the peak of the evolutionary perdection of parasitism with the preservation of their biological species at the level of only the genotype and the complete loss of trivial phenotypic characters (structure, morphology, reproduction). This explains many features of pathobiosis in leucosis, especially the malignant transformation of the host cell and the reproduction of the viral genome in the context of unlimited proliferation of lymphocytes, absolute immune evasion in relation to the antiviral protective effectors of both innate and acquired immunity, and intracellular transmission of the infection by the epizootic chain. The principal feature of EBL is clinical dimorphism, i.e. the status of latent infection an absolute quantitative and chronological predominance of the incubation period of the course, essentially a cryptic form of infection throughout a productive life of the animal, and the illness per se in a pathological sense, extremely rare sporadic cases of a manifest form of lymphosarcomatosis that arise and really recorded only in old animals, outside of productive age. In this article the transmission of infection and the pathogenesis of EBL are interpreted from modern parasitic systemic positions as aspects of this problem that are little being considered in the home publications.

The milk productivity increasing in combined with animal longevity ensures the achievement of optimal economic indicators (profitability, payback period of investment projects), reduction of the negative impact of inflation and other macroeconomic factors on the financial results of organizations specializing in milk production. At the example of one of the breeding farms of the Republic of Karelia, a analysis of productivity indicators of dairy cows was conducted (441 species). Processing of the experimental materials was conducted by using methods of cluster, factor and discriminating analysis, which allowed not only for not grouping the numerous population according to homogeneity of manifestations of zootechnical indicators, but also to establish the structure of connections between the researched variables (life longevity, milk production, contents of fat, live weight, and age of the first calving, alleles, and the reasons for disposal). The step-by-step discriminative analysis confirmed by 97,73 % the reliability of dividing the animals into three groups (clusters). Among the principal discriminators dividing the cows reliably were: life expectancy, productivity, live weight and age of the first calving. The use of factor analysis established the direct unidirectional connection between the allele of EAB-system and the reason for the animal withdrawal.

In this article the results of many years researches of 236900 dry cows in dairy farms of the South of the Far East are presented. From 1965 to 2018 were studied Simmental, Holstein-Friesian, Red Holstein cow breeds of different ages with productivity from 1,500 to 10,000 kg of milk per lactation at dairy farms in the Primorsky, Khabarovsk Territories, the Jewish Autonomous and Amur Regions. A rectal examination was carried out on a monthly basis for 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 23, 39 years at the Sadovoye farm of the All-Russian Research Institute of Soybean, the Chernorechensky state farm, the Garovsky farm, the Primorsky instructional farm of agricultural artel, the Central experimental production farm of the Primorskiy research institute, and the Daurskoe experimental production farm of Jewish Autonomous Province and "Vostochnoe" experimental production farm, respectively. In 17 households it was once every three to four months, and in 38 households – from one to 13 times for all observation years. A total of 236 900 dry cows were examined. Once a month on dairy farms of the Khabarovsk Territory milk was examined for latent mastitis on cows by the electrophoresis using established method. The sodium selenite injections to down- calver cows and heifers were performed 20 days before the expected calving. 96808 cows from this quantity turned out to be pregnant, 75724 were with pathology of reproductive organs. Clinically marked ovarian adhesions were detected in 1098 individuals (1.45 % of all cows in this group), or 0.46 % of all researched cows. The occurrence of mastitis (36000 cows were counted) and pathologies of reproductive organs were researched in dairy farms of Khabarovsk region. Clinic forms of mastitis were detected in 8.6 %, subclinic - in 24.5 % of individuals. The presence of pathologies of reproductive organs was detected in 12629 individuals (35.1 %), including in 74.8 % - with subclinic mastitis and 42.0 % - in cows with healthy udder. According to many times over- walking cows ovarian adhesions with adjoining tissues were detected accordingly in 1.95 %, 1.03 % and 0.87 %of individuals of all quantity of animals with udder diseases.
