There is no subject in the world more vital to the future and sustainability of the planet earth for future generations than that of Waste Management and all it encompasses. Animals produce organic waste only. Human beings, in their ignorance and lack of foresight, have now created so much inorganic waste that the whole planet is suffering from pollution in the air, in the rivers and oceans of the world, as well as on the land masses. This book deals intensively with every aspect of organic and inorganic waste management and explains how each type of waste must be correctly dealt with if mankind is to decrease the outbreak of disease, thereby ensuring that all inhabitants of the planet Earth have a healthy future. The book also emphasizes the responsibility and steps that each individual must take in every country of the world if we are to return Mother Earth to her former glory in the 21st century.

Hence, human societies rely on a vast array on biological resources and their diversity to provide for essential goods and services, direct uses include the pro...

Vertebrate pests cause considerable damage to environment, agriculture and biodiversity apart from transmitting diseases. The problem is more pronounced in tropical Asia and Africa with non-human primates, elephants, several species of ungulates, rodents, frugivorous and grainivorous birds causing agricultural losses. In Europe and America the damage is due to carnivore predation on livestock, bird damage in cereal crops and rodent problem in urban and agricultural situations. Although there are several excellent books on rodent pest management both in India and at global level, there is a conspicuous lacuna of published books on vertebrate pest management. Even the few publications on the s...
The present review study deals with few biological aspects of few fresh water fishes including catfishes based on published literature as worked out by various researchers of India. Many small fresh water fishes and catfishes have become threatened and endangered due to contamination, over exploitation, habitat destruction, water abstraction, siltation, habitat fragmentation, fish diseases and introduction of alien species. For sustainable utilization, proper planning related to conservation and management strategies are of utmost importance. The earlier studies on the various aspects of fish bionomics have been reviewed under the following headings Viz., length-weight relationship, relative condition factor, food and feeding habits, GSI,HIS, sex ratio and fecundity.
