Geographical information system (GIS) is an invaluable decision support tool, designed to address spatially related problems for management of natural resources. The power of GIS lies in its ability to visualise and relate various types of geo-referenced spatial and non-spatial data allowing users to analyse them. In India, use of GIS in fisheries...

A study was conducted for 60 days to delineate the individual and combined effect of dietary Mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) and Bacillus subtilis (BS) supplementation on growth and immune status of Labeo fimbriatus fingerlings. Results illustrated that the inclusion of MOS alone did not significantly (P>0.05) improve the overall growth compared to TC....
