The aim of this study was to evaluate the structure and liver function in rats exposed to lead. Our experimentation is carried out on Ten female Wistar rats were divided into two groups (n=5). The first group of rats received normal diet and water (controls) and the second group of rats received normal diet and acetate lead-contaminated water (100 mg/kg b.w) for 70 days. On which we measured some biochemical parameters. Results of our study showed that, in comparison with the control rats, lead exposure caused, a significant reduction (p<0.001) in the body weight and a significant augmentation (p<0.001) in relative liver weight. In addition, Result showed that in Pb-intoxicated rats, an increase in serum transaminases and Alkaline phosphatase activities and a decrease of GOT and GPT activities in liver when compared with normal animal group. Results revealed also that acetate lead treatment in rats affected antioxidant defense system by decreasing GSH level and GST activity and increasing MDA concentration. Also, the results clearly showed that lead causes alterations of hepatic tissue in comparison with controls. In Conclusion, Results demonstrated the toxic effect of high-dose of lead by causing oxidative stress and damage in hepatic tissue.<#LINE#>Derouiche, S. and Djouadi, A. (2017).

There is a direct correlation of phytoplanktons to the physicochemical properties of water. Kota district situated in the southeastern parts of Rajasthan has a total area of 5198.15 sq. km. Chambal is the principal perennial river of the district. The Algal flora of Kota still remains unexplored; hence the main focus of this study is to document the Algae belonging to various groups. Since without first knowing the status of our aquatic resources especially algae of this area, we cannot have projections for their utilization. An integrated study of physico-chemical characteristics and algal flora of some randomly selected inland aquatic bodies of Kota namely Abhera pond, Kishore Sagar, Kota barrage, DCM factory and Rice fields was undertaken in the present survey. Though the selected water bodies exhibit narrow fluctuations in pH, alkalinity, total hardness, and fluoride contents but considerable variation were observed in the TDS values. The aquatic bodies harbor 63 algal species belonging to 41 genera. Chlorophyceae dominated while Bacillariophyceae was subdominant. The quantitatively determined growth of algal density was found to be maximum during winter and monsoon seasons while minimum growth was observed in summers.<#LINE#>Adoni A., Joshi D.G., Gosh K., Chourasia S.K., Vaishya A.K., Yadav M. and Verma H.G.

Water pollution is usually the result of untreated discharges of sewage, industrial effluent, oil spills and agricultural pesticides. Human activity involved in toxic metals processing and manufacturing of organic pollutants has dramatically increased contaminant levels in aquatic systems and soils. Algae normally occur in fresh water, and some species thrive in saltwater. Algae are valuable monitors of conditions in an ecosystem because they are exceptionally responsive to changes in water chemistry and tolerant of the variety of conditions; both the assortment of species and their density reflect the prevailing water conditions. Algae also play a role in the purification of wastewater because they can absorb a variety of harmful substances in their cells. Chief among these are heavy metals, organic and inorganic toxic substances, pesticides, excess nitrogen and radioactive materials.<#LINE#>Hammitt W.E., Cole D.N. and Monz C.A.

The samples were analysed after applying the finishing material on daily basis. The observations revealed no significant increase in coat thickness up to first three coats, after wards the thickness increases gradually. However, in polyurethane application, this phenomenon is not observed. In polyurethane, the thickness increase is observed to be gradual from the first coat.<#LINE#>Evans P.D.

Detail knowledge of fishing gear, crafts and fishing methods in use is very essential for scientific and judicious exploitation and management of fishery resources. The present inventory was aimed to generate information and document indigenous fishing techniques practiced along the stretches of river Narmada in Madhya Pradesh. During the survey, an indigenous fishing technique ‘Dovali’ was observed, practiced by the tribes residing around river Narmada at Mandleshwar region, Khargone district, Madhya Pradesh. It is a kind of community fishing which mainly being operated during monsoon and post-monsoon season mainly for catching air-breathing murrels. This fishing supports food supply and livelihood to a large segment of the tribes in Madhya Pradesh. In the present paper, a detail about the ‘Dovali’ is discussed as it is hitherto unreported from different water bodies of India.<#LINE#>Burton P.J., Balisky A.E., Coward L.P., Cumming S.G. and Kneeshaw D.D.
