Aim: The objective of the study was to assess the effect of supplementation with dietary shatavari, Asparagous racemosus root extract on growth, feed conversion and nutrient utilization in Labeo rajasthanicus. Methodology: Two-hundred-seventy fingerlings of equal size (8.19±0.03g) were stocked in 18 fibre reinforced plastic tanks following complete randomized design. Six iso-nitrogenous (30% crude protein) and iso-caloric (390 kcal digestible energy per 100 g) diets were prepared with graded level of ethanolic shatavari root extract, i.e., 0.00, 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.60, 0.75 g kg-1 and designated as control, T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 were fed to L. rajasthanicus twice a day for 45 days. The growth performance, feed conversion and nutrient utilisation were considered as response parameters. Results: Significantly (P<0.05) higher growth performance (weight gain %, specific growth rate, net yield and mean daily weight gain percentage) and better feed conversion and nutrient utilization (protein efficiency ratio and lipid efficiency ratio) were observed in T1 group than in other experimental groups. Interpretation: Based on these findings, it can be concluded that ethanolic extract of shatavari root can be used as a growth promoter and can be included at the supplementation level of 0.15 g kg-1 diet for Labeo rajasthanicus.

Khejri, Prosopis cineraria (the king of the desert or wonder tree, or golden tree) belongs to the Fabaceae family, is native to the north-west (Haryana, Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat), central (Madhya Pradesh) and southern regions (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana) of India (Liu et al., 2012). Prosopis species are native to arid and semi-arid zones of the Americas, Africa and Asia, with several American species (Pasciecznik et al., 2004). Different workers have reported that the average production of pods from per tree is around 20-100 kg.It has variable biomass production for Prosopis pod from 113.25 to 250.0 tons/ha (Gurumurti et al., 1984;Patel, 1986). Forty-four different Prosopis species are cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions in different countries of Asian, African and American continents (Garg et al., 2020).

Plants are good source of antimicrobial agents and may be used for alternative drug formation in future. In the present study, comparative antimicrobial analysis of four species of family Asteraceae in southern Rajasthan has been investigated. Acanthospermum hispidum, Pentanema indicum, Sphaeranthus indicus, and Tridax procumbens of family Asteraceae were collected from southern Rajasthan. Antimicrobial activity was carried out of dried leaves extract in methanol and ethyl acetate against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptomyces griseus bacteria and Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Fusarium oxysporium and Trichoderma reesei fungi. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of all four species were measured in the form of zone of inhibition.The highest zone of inhibi-tion was observed on E. coli in S. indicus i.e. 26.00±0.59 mm in ethyl acetate extract and lowest zone of inhibition was observed on B. subtilis in T. pro-cumbens i.e. 5.00±0.21 mm in methanol extract. While the highest zone of inhibition was observed on S. griseus in A. hispidium i.e. 30.00±0.50 mm in ethyl acetate extract and lowest zone of inhibition was observed on C. albicans in A. hispidum i.e. 10.00±0.49 mm in methanol extract. The results of the present study suggest the use of natural antimicrobial agent against studied microorganism.

The present study was undertaken to examine the role of community-based fishers in blue economy taking ecosystem and livelihood development and sustainability of Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu, India. A questionnaire was designed to capture context-specific community-based blue economy practices. The virtual factors and environmental determinants which affect the sustainability of ecosystem between resource benefitters were evaluated. A significant difference is noticed between male and female beneficiaries for preference to all the variables except enhanced waste management practices variable (insignificant difference- 0.183; Mann-Whitney U test). All the variables significantly advance the livelihood sustainability of ecosystem-dependent population and the ecosystem service evaluation process. The present survey also resulted that the better sustainability of blue economy involved the significant implementation of growth agendas by minimizing the effluent and sewage disposal, developmental activities in industrial areas, disaster outbreak and eliminating harmful fishing practices, overfishing and instead incentivizing approaches that promote growth, improve conservation, build sustainable fisheries, and terminate the IUU (illegal, unreported and unregulated) fishing. An ecosystem-based management framework, improved governance is required to grow and improve the sustainability of livelihood and ecosystem towards a blue economy. Innovative financing to direct investments into economic activities is also needed to enhance ocean health. A further step would be to assess how such human inputs or improved management practices could be included in the set of ecosystem service indicators.
