Floral resources are abundant across the globe as it forms a key role in an ecological pyramid and enriched with a bunch of medicinal properties. Historical statue reveals various plants and its materials were used for treatments of different ailments and injuries and also used as nutraceuticals in humans and animals and also used for pest control in agriculture. The practice of using plants in aquaculture started in early 1990’s for various purposes by traditional farmers. Of late, due to overuse of fertilizers, antibiotics and other chemicals in aquaculture that created the environmental issues. As an alternative to chemicals and drugs, herbal based products can be used for eco and green aquaculture for safe and healthy fish productions. There are many potential herbal plants that have been identified and used in aquaculture and we focused on a few highly important herbal plants used in aquaculture. The potential herbal plants such as Aloe vera, Phyllanthus niruri, Azardirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Allium sativum, Ocimum sanctum, Zingiber officinale, Eclipta alba, Cissus quadrangularis, Acalypha indica could be used in fish farming. These herbal plants have versatile medicinal and therapeutic properties in fish, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant and immuno-stimulant. This review article gives information about the application of herbal plants in Aquaculture as a sustainable solution for safe and healthy fish productions.

Introdução: Parnaíba encontra-se no extremo norte piauiense, na Faixa Litorânea e na Zona da Mata, uma área de transição entre Cerrado e Caatinga, sob influência Amazônica e do Oceano Atlântico. O município tem 436.907 km2 e população estimada em 153.863 habitantes. Estão presentes várias fitofisionomias: praias, dunas, restingas, tabuleiros litorâneos, brejos e manguezais, associados a uma rica biodiversidade. Apesar disso, é comum encontrar árvores e palmeiras exóticas na composição urbana, muitas das quais apresentam boas adaptabilidade e alta capacidade de multiplicação, o que as torna potencialmente invasoras. Objetivos: Identificar arbustos, árvores e palmeiras exóticas em Parnaíba-PI. Material e métodos: Visitas de campo em amostras das fitofisionomias presentes, e nas principais avenidas da zona urbana, de março a setembro de 2021, associadas a estudo bibliográfico. Resultados: As espécies identificadas foram Nim (Azadirachta indica), Algaroba (Prosopis juliflora), Tamarindeiro (Tamarindus indica), Mangueira (Magnifera indica), Jamelão (Syzygium cumini), Moringa (Moringa oleifera), Casuarina (Casuarina equisetifolia), Casatanhola (Terminalia catappa), Tamareira (Phoenix dactylifera), Palmeira Imperial (Roystonea oleracea), Leucena (Leucaena leucocephala), Eucalipto (Eucalyptus sp.), Jambo-vermelho (Syzygium malaccensis), Coqueiro (Cocos nucifera), Chichá-fedorento (Sterculia foetida), Baobá (Adansonia digitata), Flamboyant (Delonix regia), Mamona (Ricinus communis), Algodão-de-seda (Calotropis procera) e Jaqueira (Artocapus heterophyllus). Conclusão: A substituição de plantas nativas por exóticas, além de uniformizar as paisagens e provocar alterações ecológicas e culturais, é uma das causas da perda de biodiversidade no mundo. O Nim possui azadiractina em seu pólen, tóxico para as abelhas, o que pode provocar alterações populacionais desses polinizadores e prejudicar a manutenção do ecossistema e produção agrícola. Assim como outras plantas exóticas, o Nim possui frutos atrativos para a fauna, o que faz com que seja disperso rapidamente, tornando-se invasor. Deve-se evitar o uso de plantas exóticas e focar no uso de plantas nativas, prezando pela variedade biológica e genética, para maximizar os serviços ecossistêmicos e a sucessão ecológica, além de criar memória afetiva com a população e um banco urbano de sementes nativas.

Air Pollution Tolerance Index

Objective: Air pollution is one of the major global tribulations in many developing cities around the world. Addressing this sort of pollution is more intricate than other ecological challenges. As pollution is an upcoming issue, we aimed at assessing the air pollution tolerant plants from roadside exposed to vehicular air pollution from two different locations in Thane city.Methods: In the present study, commonly available ten roadside tree species selected from polluted and control area, and their air pollution tolerance index (APTI) determined in Thane city. The biochemical parameters viz. pH, ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll, relative water content (RWC) were considered to calculate APTI by using standard method.Results: The study shows that the control site has more APTI than the polluted site. The APTI observed minimum in Tectona grandis 5.2±0.3247 and maximum in Azadirachta indica 13.5±0.4404. Reduction in APTI at polluted site shows that Alstonia scholaris (6.6%), Tamarindus indica (8.8%) and Azadirachta indica (10.3%) were the most tolerant tree species, while Tectona grandis (47.5%), Acacia nilotica (27.4%) and Cassia fistula (20.7%) were more sensitive tree species. The results showed the order of tolerance (% difference in APTI) as Alstonia scholaris (6.6%)>Tamarindus indica (8.8%)>Azadirachta indica (10.3%)>Moringa pterygosperma (11.9%)>Mangifera indica (13.9%)>Bahunia variegate (14.3%)>Annona squamosa (18.7%)>Cassia fistula (20.7%)>Acacia nilotica (27.4%)>Tectona grandis (47.5%).Conclusion: Tolerant trees species can serve as a sink, and sensitive tree species can act as an indicator for air pollution mitigation. Thus, this study provides useful insights for selecting tolerant species for future planning and Greenbelt development in urban areas.

Abstract Growth and reproductive traits were assessed in seed stands of two native Indian tree species Tamarindus indica and Azadirachta indica. Positive correlation between growth (height and GBH) and reproductive traits (male and female contribution) were found in both species. Fertility was estimated from the flower and fruit production of individuals. Based on the fertility variation among individuals, parental balance, femaleness index and status number (Ns) were determined. The option of equal seed collection among individuals was also considered for estimating Ns. The percentage of fertile trees was higher in the high flowering year in both species. The best male contributing individuals also showed high female contribution (fruit production). The parental contribution in seed stands showed high deviation from expectation; 20% individuals contributed about 70% of male and female gametes in both species. Femaleness index showed that female and male contribution of individual tree was more balanced in the good flowering year, compared to the poor year. Coefficient of variation in male and female fertility was higher in the low flowering year resulting in high fertility variation among individuals and low status number. In T. indica, the female contribution was less variable compared to that of male fertility whereas in A. indica the female fertility variation was higher than that of male fertility. The relative status number (Nr = Ns/N) of the stands was lower for male and female fertility compared to the combined (male and female) fertility of individual trees.
