Channa andrao, new species, from Lefraguri swamp, West Bengal, India, differs from all its congeners except, C. asiatica, C. bleheri and C. burmanica and the recently described C. hoaluensis and C. ninhbinhensis by the absence of pelvic fins. It can be distinguished from all other pelvic fin-less species of snakeheads by its colour pattern, and differs further in its number of vertebrae, dorsal...

The identity of snakehead fishes (Perciformes: Channidae) in India, particularly species belonging to Channa gachua complex remains to be confusing due to clubbing of a number of species under the synonymy of Channa orientalis Bloch and Schneider by several authors including Talwar and Jhingran (1991), Jayaram (1999) and Menon (1999) as well. Courtenay and Williams (2004) considered most of the...

Abstract The paper describes the physical realisation of a 3D-concrete-printed, mortar-free, unreinforced masonry arched footbridge, designed for disassembly and reuse. also details novel integrated design, engineering fabrication framework manufacturing assembly processes used project. research, motivated by rapid growth in large-scale 3D concrete printing (3DCP), addresses current lack both d...

Extracts and preparations made from the animal origin were used extensively in folk and modern medicine for treating many human diseases. In the present study efforts have been made to find the antimicrobial effect of the mucus of two bottom dwelling fresh water fishes namely, Channa punctatus and Cirrhinus mrigala. Fish mucus were tested against ten pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli...

Annual von Bertalanffy growth parameters of the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) in Cuban waters were estimated from a long term study (40 years) by length-based methods ELEFAN and the new version of SLCA. Data of around 800 000 lobsters (with carapace length ranging 14 to 199mm) were randomly sampled in artificial shelters (a non selective fishing gear very common in the lobster fishe...
