LOCKDOWN PHASE OF COVID 19 AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE.pdf

The mangrove dominated Indian Sundarbans possesses several types of habitats like estuaries, mudflats, swamps, tidal creeks, inlets etc. [1]. The temperature is not extreme in summer and winter seasons due to its proximity to the Bay of Bengal in the southern part of the deltaic complex. Average annual maximum temperature is around 27 0 C. The prem...

The researchers has been investigated as a possible alternative for building up biological molecules in exobiology. The world's most famous molecule-the DNA double helix-sometimes doubles up again. Researchers have now found this quadruple-stranded form in healthy human cells for the first time. Speculate that the quadruplex structure forms to hold...

We analysed concentrations of zinc, copper and lead in the muscle of two commercially important finfish species namely, Liza parsia and Liza tade in the western and central sectors of Gangetic delta region during 14 th to 19 th March, 2016 using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Metal accumulation followed the order Zn > Cu > Pb. Between the two...

Zn, Cu and Pb were analyzed in the leaf, stem and root of Ipomoea pes-caprae in three seasons in and around Indian Sundarbans during 2015. It is observed that concentrations of all the three metals were high during monsoon followed by postmonsoon and premonsoon. Among the metals, concentration of Zn was highest followed by Cu and Pb irrespective of...

We estimated stored carbon in three dominant seaweed species Enteromorpha intestinalis, Ulva lactuca and Catenella repens in three different seasons (premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon) from four sampling stations in the deltaic ecosystem of Indian Sundarbans (21°40' N to 22°40'N and 88°03'E to 89°07'E) during 2015. The average stored carbon conte...

References consulted for writing this book CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO COVID-19 Today the whole world is under the appalling shadow of COVID pandemics. The disease has posed severe adverse impacts on almost all sectors of the society encompassing health, education, recreation, food, transportation and economic profile. However, the environmental sec...

The biochemical composition of red seaweeds, Catenella repens was investigated in this present study along with subsequent analysis of relevant physico-chemical variables. In this study, the relationship between the nutritive components of this species and the ambient environmental parameters was established. Protein content varied from 2.78 ± 0.30...

The stored carbon in the above and below ground biomass of Porteresia coarctata was monitored for 12 consecutive years (March 2011-March 2022) along the Hooghly estuary in the maritime State of West Bengal, India. The stored carbon in the Above Ground Biomass (AGB) ranged between 60.42 gm m-2 to 118.46 gm m-2 and in the Below Ground Biomass (BGB) t...

We carried out a pilot scale study on the application of Salicornia-based feed on Macrobrachium rosenbergiiin 2021 for a period of 240 days in Bali Island of central Indian Sundarban. The formulated feed was provided to the cultured species in the experimental pond and compared with those in the control pond where the commercial variety of prawn fe...

A study was undertaken at Lothian Wild Life Sanctuary of Indian Sundarbans to estimate the stored carbon in the mangrove vegetation of the island. 34 true mangrove species were documented from the island, but on the basis of criterion DBH > 5 cm, only 26 species were selected for the estimation. We focused on the stem biomass and the carbon locked...

This study was undertaken in February, 2021 to determine the role played by the forest cover in lowering the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere within the premises of an educational institute in Barasat, North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal (India). Twenty-two dominant tree species from the eight sampling sites were surveyed, out of which...

Planet earth is experiencing the increase of carbon dioxide at an alarming level. Producer communities naturally remove carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store/sequester carbon in stems, leaves, branches, barks, roots, and soil. Estimates of carbon stock in forest plantations are generally based on allometric equations relating...

We monitored the Condition Index (CI) of Labeo rohita, which is an important indicator to evaluate the health and well-being of the cultured fish. In this pilot project, we initiated the culture with Labeo rohita as a candidate species in 12 rain water stocked ponds at Diamond Harbour (22°11'4.2''N; 88°11'22.2''E) during March, 2022 to October, 202...
