Aquaculture has a highly promising role in producing fish biomass and fulfilling nutrient requirement for the growing population on the Earth. Worldwide, there exists several substrate-based fish production practices of which Acadja, Athkotu, Samarah, Phum, Aji gnuii assonii, Xeng fishery are popular. These substrate-based fisheries reported higher fish productivity than conventional supplemental feedbased aquaculture. Herbivorous fish, in general, have natural tendency to graze on periphyton ensuring maximum accessibility to resources or acquire enhanced growth in a periphyton fed environment. In waterlogged rice fields with rice stem as substrate, common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) fishery has been a great success among agro-farmers of Apatani Plateau in north-eastern India. The practice achieves 30% more economic return per annum rice only cultivation. The practice is a best example of sustainable utilization of natural resources for fish production and also a low-cost aquaculture to support poor farmers with shallow, waterlogged resources. The ecology of the rice fields in Apatani Plateau disclosed high richness and diversity of plankton and periphyton in aquatic column. The physico-chemical nature of rice fields directly or indirectly affects the growth and dynamics of periphyton during rice-growing periods. On availability of such aquatic resources, the fish, Common carp, shifts planktivorous or detritivorous feeding habits to periphytophagous habit and attains considerable growth over the stocked period. The present review highlights the immense potentiality of fish culture to explore periphytic resources and need of extending ricefish research towards a sustainable form of aquaculture in rice fields.

“…Priority habitat identification of SIFs in aquatic systems is of major concern for its conservation and management strategies. Chanda nama (Hamilton), a small indigenous fish species of ambassidae family mostly found in freshwater, brackish water, inhabiting running and standing waters (Talwar and Jhingran 1991;Nandi et al 2013).…”

Physicochemical traits of river influence the habitat of fish species in aquatic ecosystems. Fish showed a complex relationship with aquatic factors in river. Machine learning (ML) modeling is a useful tool to established relationship between complex systems. This study identified the preferred habitat indicators of Chanda nama (a small indigenous fish), in the Krishna River, of peninsular India, using machine learning modeling. Data were observed on Chanda nama fish distribution (presence/absence) and associated ten physical and chemical parameters of water at 22 sampling sites on the river during year 2001-02. Machine learning models such as random forest (RF), artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), k-nearest neighbors (KNN) used for the classification of Chanda nama distribution in the river. The ML model efficiency was evaluated using classification accuracy (CCI), Cohen’s kappa coefficient (k), sensitivity, specificity and receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC). Results showed that random forest is the best model with 82% accuracy, CCI (0.82), k (0.55), sensitivity (0.57), specificity (0.76) and ROC (0.72) for Chanda nama distribution (presence/absence) in the Krishna River. Random Forest model identified three preferred physicochemical habitat traits like altitude, temperature and depth for Chanda nama distribution in the Krishna River, India. This study will be helpful for researcher and policy maker to understand the important habitat physicochemical traits for sustainable management of small indigenous fish (Chanda nama ) in the river system.

“…Morphological variations lead to differences in feeding success on the food resources (Ross, ; Wainwright & Richard, ) and vice versa , thereby influencing the growth and survivability. As an effective strategy of conservation through ‘social fishery’, a proposal by Nandi et al () for polyculture of small vulnerable fishes with other cultivable fish species without any additional feed supplement, feeding success of small fishes may play a major role in food partitioning to ensure their growth and survival.…”

“…Recently, apart from the conservation approach, research attention has been focused on small freshwater fishes (SFF) for their ability to retain the bio‐available micronutrients in their body (Thilsted et al , ; Nandi et al , ). Some of the micronutrient‐rich SFFs are Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton 1822), Puntius sophore (Hamilton 1822), Puntius ticto (Hamilton 1822), Esomus danricus (Hamilton 1822) and Osteobrama cotio (Hamilton 1822).…”

Size‐selective feeding on phytoplankton by two morpho‐groups of the small freshwater fishAmblypharyngodon mola

Two morpho-groups (i.e., small, MGS and big, MGL) of the small freshwater fish Amblypharyngodon mola were studied for their feeding behaviour in the natural environment. Both the morpho-groups fed on a variety of phytoplankton including Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Euglenophyceae. The fish had more Chlorophyceae and Bacillariophyceae in their gut than other phytoplankton. Costello's selectivity plots revealed that the MGS fed on the smaller phytoplankters (2-6 µm in size), whereas the MGL fed on both the small and large (up to 12 µm in size) phytoplankters. The differences in mouth areas between the two morpho-groups were explained as a possible reason of size-selective feeding and contribute to overcome gape limitation in A. mola. This is further accompanied by the uniform pore size of the gills (2 µm) in all the morpho-groups. This study concluded that A. mola exhibits a size-dependent feeding strategy regulated by gape limitation at the ingestion level. With ontogenetic shifts, flexibility appears to overcome such a limitation in the MGL, having a wider mouth area supported by jaw opening ability.
