Abstract:
The present research programme envisages a comparative study of the effects of
two piscicides of plant origin, viz., mahua oil cake, a derivative from the plant fig
Iatifolia and croton seed, a product from the plant Croton tiglium. Although some reports
on the effects of mahua oil cake and croton seed on fresh water pond culture systems are
available, information on their effect on brackishwater culture systems are rather scanty
This was the guiding principle for launching the present study It is hoped that the findings
will enable aquaculturists to make use of the piscicides in a more rational and efficient
way, and will go a long way towards realising the maximum return liom culture systems
without hampering the environment.
The thesis is presented in seven chapters such as Introduction, Review of
literature, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Summary and Bibliography

Abstract:
The main objectives of the study are: To study the seasonal distribution of copepods with special reference to their qualitative and quantitative distribution, with notes on biodiversity in the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
To study the spatial and temporal distribution of copepods in the Andaman Sea
and the Bay of Bengal.To understand the hydrography and the environmental characteristics of the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal and their role in the distribution and biomass of copepods.To study the vertical migration/diurnal migration of the copepods.
To study the difference between the coastal and oceanic composition of copepods
in the study area and the factors responsible for it.
