In aquatic ecosystems, bacterial colonies constitute an important aspect of biological diversity and biogeochemical cycling. Phytoplankton is the primary producer of the food web and zooplanktons are an important part of freshwater food webs and biogeochemical cycles, as they serve as the main trophic connection between primary producers (phytoplankton) and fish. This chapter conducts abiotic stress effects on phytoplankton and zooplankton along with the impact of abiotic stress on their energy succession. Abiotic stress shows the decreasing supply of essential vitamins due to abiotic stress can have huge consequences for the aquatic food web. Abiotic factors had a significant impact on the biomass of phytoplankton and zooplankton communities exposed including increased temperature, acidification, nutrient enrichment and increasing ultraviolet (UV) environment of the aquatic ecosystem that significantly affect their survival, behaviour, nutritional procurement, reproduction and their overall population dynamic. Oxygen stress also is a widespread occurrence in freshwater environments, with the depletion of DO in the water layers under the epilimnion becoming increasingly common. At moderately high salinities, a decreased top-down control by zooplankton on phytoplankton may be an indirect result, leading to a worsening of eutrophication symptoms.
Heat stress induces the richness and reproductive domesticated animal’s performance by settling the physiology conceptive steps, through hormonal irregularity, diminished oocyte quality and feeble semen quality, and diminished undeveloped organism advancement and endurance. It depends on principally milk production, nutrition, disease management, sexual activities, and heat stress tolerance capacity in livestock farming. The decreases infertility caused by elevated blood heat influences sex gland regulation, oestrus regulation, and gametocyte disturbance and also affects embryonic development. Heat stress reduces the degree of dominance of the seminal vesicles and this may be observed as reduced steroidogenic capability of its theca and granulose cells as fall in blood oestrogen concentrations. Plasma progestin levels are also diminished counting on whether or not the heat stress is acute and on the metabolic state of the animal. The endocrine changes the cyst activities and alters the ovulatory mechanism leading to a decrease in gametocyte and embryo quality. Summer infertility may be countered through oestrus behaviour can be mitigated by with the help of implementation of ovulation phase treatments to limited period of embryonic transfer and also advanced reproductive technologies involving hormonal treatments, systematic artificial insemination and which may enhance the possibility of establishing pregnancy in domestic animals.
The nutritional, physiological, and reproductive function has detrimental effects on heat stress, which is found in many species of mammals. High ambient temperature in mammals cause a decrease in the length and intensity of estrus by disturbing ovarian function as well as decreasing pregnancy rate after artificial insemination. The effects of nutritional stress on developing oocytes in the ovarian follicle and in the reproductive tract on early embryos are because of the environment where a breeding female lives before conception and at the early stages of pregnancy. Maturity of oocyte, blastocyst yield, prenatal survival, and the number of offspring born alive are affected by change in consumption and quantity of the food taken during the pre-mating period. To improve reproductive efficiency and offspring quality, it is necessary to detect and evaluate the deteriorating effects of heat stress on reproductive organs and cells and to plan nutrition related strategies.
The aim of this work was to find the seasonal variations of physico-chemical properties of the Dejla Dewda reservoir. The physico-chemical characteristics have been studied and analysed in the present investigation during Nov 2016 to Dec 2017.Water samples were collected from three sampling stations, changes in the physico-chemical parameters of water, such as Water temperature, transparency, alkalinity, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, Total dissolved solids (TDS), Biological oxygen demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and pH were analysed. The result was compared with the water quality standard of WHO. Between various physico-chemical parameters systematic calculation of average and standard deviation was done to compare the water quality level at different stations. During the investigation period of one year, 24 species of fishes belonging to 03 orders and 06 families were recorded. Therefore, monitoring of the water quality of sampling sites of Dejla Dewda reservoir should be done at regular intervals to facilitate the growth of fish species. It was observed during the study that this reservoir water is not much polluted and supports high diversity of aquatic animals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
