Fish diversity indices and their correlation with seasonal fluctuation of physicochemical parameters of Hasadanga beel was aimed to be studied. A three-year study on the relationship between the seasonal fluctuation of water quality parameters and fish biodiversity indices was conducted in Hasadanga Beel, a floodplain lake of Nadia district, West Bengal to measure the ecological health of the lake. Samples of water and fish species were collected at pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon period from 2015-2017 to estimate physicochemical parameters of water and fish biodiversity indices i.e. Shannon-Weaver species diversity index, Margalef’s Species richness index, Pielou’s Species evenness index and Simpson’s index of dominance. Total of 34 different fish species belonging to 8 Orders were found during the study period which varies seasonally. Water temperature (20.0-31.4 °C), pH (7.70-8.75), dissolved oxygen (3.9-5.0 mg/l), Free CO2 (0.0-15.0 mg/l), total alkalinity (156-193 mg/l), hardness (113-145 mg/l), and BOD (1.03-1.94 mg/l) values varied significantly (p<0.05) between three seasons. Shannon-Weaver species diversity index (Hꞌ) is ranged between 1.2911-1.3502, Margalef’s species richness index (D) is measured between 12.72-14.15, Pielou’s species evenness index (Jꞌ) is recorded between 0.8829-0.9140 and Simpson’s index of dominance (ID) is ranged between 0.05346-0.07139. Hꞌ has positive correlation with pH, alkalinity and hardness whereas negative correlation with temperature, free CO2, DO and BOD. D has positive correlation with pH, free CO2, DO and hardness whereas negative correlation with temperature, alkalinity and BOD. Jꞌ has positive correlation with temperature, pH, alkalinity and hardness and whereas negative correlation with free CO2, DO and BOD. ID has positive correlation with temperature, free CO2, DO and BOD whereas negative correlation with pH, alkalinity and hardness. The obtained result suggests that various water quality parameters specially temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH are the key factors to regulate the fish biodiversity indices and should be taken into consideration for making policies for sustainable use of floodplain lakes.

Water quality parameters were analyzed seasonally to examine relationships with bird numbers and species richness in Jagdishpur reservoir. This wetland is a Ramsar site and an important bird area (IBA) of Nepal. The trophic status of the reservoir was categorized as eutrophic as assessed by Secchi disk transparency (1.45 ± 0.53 m), total alkalinity (220.94 ± 85.52 mg/l) and total nitrogen (884.19 ± 291.61 ?g/l) concentrations. Direct count method detected a total of 77 bird species belonging to 8 orders and 31 families of which 40 species were resident and 37 migrants. Species richness ranged from 21(summer) to 74 species (winter). Secchi disk transparency showed a significant positive correlation with bird numbers ((r = 1.00, p < 0.01) whereas significant negative correlation was found between water temperature and species richness (r = - 0.97, p < 0.05). Absolute positive correlation between species richness and seasons was established (r = 0.74). The seasonal distribution pattern showed two peaks of species richness, Shannon diversity, equitability and evenness index, one in winter and the other in autumn. Fulica atra (30.53%), Dendrocygna javanica (15.88%) and Anas strepera (9.58%) were the three most dominant bird species. Fourteen CITES species, 8 globally and 14 nationally threatened species were recorded. Conservation action plan for threatened species that focuses on population monitoring, protecting key habitats and habitat enhancement is urgently needed.

This study was carried out in a monotonousswamp in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The purpose was to find out the plankton fertility in supporting fish productivity in the monotonous swamp to build a dynamic waterbody with all of its supporting aspects. The analyses were performed on plankton diversity, water quality parameters and fish production levels from 2009 to 2013. The results of ShannonWiener diversity index analysis for plankton in the swamp approximately exceeded the value (>2), indicating that the water condition was still good and fertile. The water quality parameters in the swamp were specific; blackish brown in color, acid, and having low level of oxygen with high ammonia concentration. The decreasing trends of fish productivity in the swamp were resulted from unselective fish catching, environmental pollutions and land-use changes converting the swamp areas into plantations and housing. Therefore, it is necessary to develop conservation areas to keep the primary productivity of the waterbody in high level, which would affect the increase in the productivity of swamp fish.

Abstract A parametric investigation was carried out to estimate the Uranium concentration and other associated water quality parameters for the groundwater in Deoghar district, Jharkhand. Total 150 groundwater samples have been collected from dig wells, hand pumps, tube wells, etc. for the pre and post-monsoon seasons. A Quantalase Uranium analyzer was used to measure the uranium concentration. The distribution of pH, TDS, DO, nitrate, sulfate, uranium along with the radiation has been determined. It was found that the uranium concentration in groundwater varies from 0.10 to 11.30ppb in pre-monsoon and 0.15–6.50ppb in the post-monsoon which is well below the normal tolerance limit (i.e.30 μg/l WHO). This low availability of Uranium has been attributed due to the existence of a lesser number of rocks containing uranium as a source in that area. An attempt has been made to correlate the uranium concentration with the water quality parameters for both seasons. The correlation data reveals that ORP, nitrate, phosphate, calcium, and magnesium show a positive correlation with uranium concentration for both seasons on the other hand TDS, EC, temperature, DO, fluoride, and chloride show negative correlation. The positive correlation implies that uranium may be present in groundwater as a dissolved salt of these parameters. Comparative studies for the parameters have been done for both the seasons and various factors have been discussed for the occurrence of the same. The annual effective dose associated with the ingestion of uranium by the population of the region has been estimated using USPEA equations.

A s tudy was conducted to investigate the aquatic insect communities in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Sabah, Malaysia. Two sampling sites were selected: lakes at School of Science and Technology (SST), and another near College E (CE) (student accommodation). Each lake consisted of four sampling stations. Aquatic insects were sampled using dip net from November 2013 to January 2014. Four water quality parameters were measured at each station. Shannon-Weiner’s diversity index and biotic indices (BMWP) were used in this study. Student’s t-test was used for testing the significant difference of water quality parameters, Shannon-Weiner’s diversity index and BMWP between these lakes. Pearson’s correlation was used to investigate relationships between aquatic insect assemblage and water quality parameters. A total of 1987 individuals composed of five orders that representing eleven families were recorded in this study. Baetidae (56.67%) was the dominant family in UMS, where Diptera order had least abundant with only 0.4% of overall sample. Aquatic insect abundance were significantly higher (P<0.05) in CE Lake. Bray-Curtis Similarity index showed 53.75% similarity between these two lakes. Pearson’s correlation showed that aquatic insect abundance and richness had significant relationships with water temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity and pH (P<0.05 or 0.01), except for salinity with taxa richness. Based on Malaysia’s INWQS, water quality parameters of these two lakes were categorized as Class I, but with dissolved oxygen the CE and SST lakes were classified as Class IIA and III respectively. The BMWP index showed similar results as dissolved oxygen, where SST Lake (score=40) had poor water quality.
