A new bariline fish, Barilius kamjongensis is decribed from Kamjong district, the Chindwin basin of Manipur, India. It can be distinguished its congeners in having a body with 2 pairs barbels, 16–19 predorsal scales, 12–15 bars, 40–43 perforated lateral line 7.5/2.5 transverse origin dorsal-fin closed to base caudal-fin, pectoral-fin shorter than head length, depth at 22.8–26.6 % SL, caudal ped...

Here we describe a new species of Biancolina from Pernambuco, Brazil, found in association with the brown algae Sargassum spp., between 0.5 and 1.0 m depth. The differs its congeners mainly by following combination characters: antenna 1 twice length 2, lacinia mobilis present both mandibles, article 4 maxilliped bulbose; coxa 6 anteroventral lobe well developed as posteroventral lobe, peduncle ...

Chemical and morphological characterization of different parts of banana plant(Musa paradisica) (peduncle, leaf stalk and pseudo stem) were carried out in orderto assess their potentiality for chemical pulp. Each portion was tested forextractives, sodium hydroxide solubility, ash, lignin, cellulose and pentosancontents as well as their fiber length and width. These segmented parts werecharacter...

In order to determine best selection criteria for moisture stress tolerance, thirty-one diverse genotypes including 27 bread wheat lines along with two triticale and one each of durum barley were evaluated assess different components variability, correlation path analysis using various morpho-physiological, grain yield contributing traits in moisture-stress conditions under both field controlle...

The rice flower carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) is an important fish in integrated rice-fishery farming. Here, we performed the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) for seven growth traits (including body mass, total length, height, width, caudal-peduncle depth, and eye spacing) 200 samples using 369,688 high-quality SNPs 42,225 indels obtained by double-digest genotyping-by-sequencing (ddGBS). ...

Two new species of the gobiid genus Cabillus, C. nigromarginatus sp. nov. and Cabillus nigrostigmus sp. nov. are described. Cabillus nigromarginatus (from Rodrigues, Western Indian Ocean) is distinguished from congeners by having 18-20 pectoral-fin rays; predorsal area naked; two scales with enlarged ctenii ventrally and dorsally at the caudal-fin base; head with anterior and posterior oculosca...
