High diversity and widespread occurrence of mitotic spore mats in ectomycorrhizal Pezizales - R. A. Healy; M. E. Smith; G. M. Bonito; D. H. Pfister; Z. ‐W. Ge; G. G. Guevara; G. Williams; K. Stafford; L. Kumar; T. Lee; C. Hobart; J. Trappe; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2013)
Fungal mitospores may function as dispersal units and/ or spermatia and thus play a role in distribution and/or mating of species that produce them. Mitospore production in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) Pezizales is rarely reported, but here we document mitospore production by a high diversity of EcM Pezizales on three continents, in both hemispheres. We sequenced the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and partial large subunit (LSU) nuclear rDNA from 292 spore mats (visible mitospore clumps) collected in Argentina, Chile, China, Mexico and the USA between 2009 and 2012. We collated spore mat ITS sequences with 105 fruit body and 47 EcM root sequences to generate operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Phylogenetic inferences were made through analyses of both molecular data sets. A total of 48 OTUs from spore mats represented six independent EcM Pezizales lineages and included truffles and cup fungi. Three clades of seven OTUs have no known meiospore stage. Mitospores failed to germinate on sterile media, or form ectomycorrhizas on Quercus, Pinus and Populus seedlings, consistent with a hypothesized role of spermatia. The broad geographic range, high frequency and phylogenetic diversity of spore mats produced by EcM Pezizales suggests that a mitospore stage is important for many species in this group in terms of mating, reproduction and/or dispersal.

Establishment of medium for laboratory cultivation and maintenance of F redericella sultana for in vivo experiments with T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae ( M yxozoa) - G Kumar; A Abd‐Elfattah; H Soliman; M El‐Matbouli (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2013)
The freshwater bryozoan F redericella sultana ( B lumenbach) is the most common invertebrate host of the myxozoan parasite T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae , the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease in salmonid fish. Culture media play an important role in hatching of statoblasts and maintaining clean bryozoan colonies for M alacosporea research. We developed a novel culture medium, B ryozoan M edium C ( BMC ), for the cultivation and maintenance of F . sultana under laboratory conditions. Statoblasts of F . sultana were successfully hatched to produce transparent‐walled, specific pathogen‐free ( SPF ) colonies that were maintained >12 months in BMC at pH 6.65. T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae was successfully transmitted from infected brown trout, S almo trutta L ., to newly hatched F . sultana colonies in BMC , then from the infected bryozoan to SPF brown trout. This study demonstrated the utility of BMC ( pH 6.65) for hatching statoblasts, long‐term cultivation of clean and transparent bryozoan colonies and maintenance of the T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae life cycle in the laboratory for molecular genetic research and other studies such as host–parasiteinteraction.

Population genetic structure of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis from the Indian coast using sequence analysis of the mitochondrial DNA D‐loop region - M. R. Menezes; G. Kumar; S. P. Kunal (Journal of Fish Biology, 2012)
Genetic structure of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis from the Indian region was investigated using sequence data of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D‐loop region. A total of 315 individuals were sampled from six major fishing grounds around the east and west coasts of India including the Andaman (Port Blair) and Lakshadweep (Minicoy) Islands. Nucleotide and gene diversities were high in all the sample collections. Significant genetic heterogeneity was observed for the mtDNA sequence data among sites ( φ ST = 0·0273, P φ CT = 0·0261, P K. pelamis along the Indian coast can thus be rejected. Phylogenetic analysis of the mtDNA sequence data showed the presence of four clades of K. pelamis in the Indian waters. There was no clear pattern, however, of haplotypes and geographic location among samples. The results of this study suggest the occurrence of four genetically differentiated groups of K. pelamis across the coastal waters of India.

EVALUATION OF GROUNDWATER RESOURCES AND ESTIMATION OF STAGE OF GROUNDWATER DEVELOPMENT IN A BASIN – A CASE STUDY - G. N. Pradeep Kumar; P. Srinivas (Irrigation and Drainage, 2012)
Rapid industrial development, urbanization and increase in agricultural production have led to freshwater shortage in many parts of the world. For sustainable development of water resources, it is imperative to make quantitative estimations of the available water resources. The study area, the Kurmapalli Vagu Basin, is located in the semi‐arid tropics of the Deccan Plateau and is a chronic drought‐prone, backward and endemic fluoride area. Hence evaluation of groundwater resources and stage of groundwater development of the Kurmapalli Vagu Basin was carried out utilizing remote sensing and geographical information system techniques in conjunction with conventional methods. The arithmetic average method was used to compute the total quantity of water from precipitation received by the basin. The groundwater resources were evaluated based on Groundwater Resource Estimation Committee norms. Groundwater recharge from rainfall, canals, return flow of irrigation, minor irrigation tanks and water conservation structures were also estimated. The total groundwater recharge and annual utilizable groundwater resources from various sources were computed. The net annual groundwater draft was estimated based on the number and type of wells and unit draft. The groundwater balance of the basin works out to be 1.95 MCM. The stage of groundwater development for the Kurmapalli Vagu Basin as on date works out to be 80.6% which falls in the semi‐critical category. Suggestions have been made for proper augmentation of groundwater resources. Further, to ensure sustainable development of the basin water‐harvesting structures have been proposed.

Optimal design of water‐conveying canal considering seismic stability of side slopes - Rajib Kumar Bhattacharjya; Mysore G. Satish (Irrigation and Drainage, 2010)
A new methodology is proposed in this study for determination of a cost‐effective canal section considering the seismic stability of homogeneous canal side slopes. In order to consider the seismic stability of canal side slopes, an external seismic slope stability model is required to incorporate with the canal optimization model. During the iterations for optimal solution, the canal optimization model uses the seismic stability model at every iteration. As a result, the efficiency of the combined model is mostly dependent on the efficiency of the seismic slope stability model. The computational efficiency of the combined model can be enhanced using an approximate model to check the stability of the side slope of the canal. Therefore, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is used in this study to approximate the seismic slope stability model. The developed ANN model is linked externally with the canal optimization model to obtain the dimensions of the cost‐effective canal section with seismic‐resistant side slopes. Pseudo‐static analysis is carried out for evaluation of the seismic stability of the slope. An example problem is solved to demonstrate the field applicability of the developed model.

Pueruli and post‐pueruli, early juveniles and sub‐adults of the spiny lobster, Panulirus homarus and juveniles of P. ornatus were grown in different floating sea cages along the southeast coast of India from May 2003 to May 2007. The first type of cage had a galvanised iron pipe frame (2.0 m × 2.0 m × 1.2 m) with steel woven mesh and four inner detachable compartments (0.75 m × 0.75 m × 1.10 m). Fibre‐reinforced plastic was used subsequently to fabricate cages (1 m × 1 m × 1 m). Pueruli and post‐pueruli of P. homarus (1.58 ± 0.62 g SD), stocked at 60 individuals/m 2 , grew to an average weight of 123.10 ± 26.22 g in 266 days with a survival rate of 70%. Sub‐adults of P. homarus with an average weight (± SD) of 123.61 ± 29.26 g reached 341.25 ± 46.22 g in 225 days at a stocking density of 21 individuals/m 2 with a survival of 73 ± 6%. The post‐pueruli grew by 0.46 ± 0.10 g per day with a specific growth rate (SGR) of 1.64, whereas sub‐adults had a growth rate of 0.97 ± 0.20 g per day with a SGR of 0.43. At a higher stocking density of 80 individuals/m 2 , juveniles (51.83 ± 10.32 g and 58.20 ± 28.22 g) of P. homarus recorded growth rates of 0.86 ± 0.25 (SGR 0.82) and 0.97 ± 0.34 g (SGR 0.96) per day. This study indicates that post‐pueruli of P. homarus can be grown to over 200 g in 12 months and up to 350 g in 16 to 17 months in sea cages. Juveniles (average weight 76.35 ± 34.50 g) of P. ornatus , reared with P. homarus at a stocking density of 80 individuals/m 2 , recorded a weight gain of 139 g in 155 days at arate of 0.89 ± 0.32 g per day with an SGR of 0.67. Marine live clam, Donax spp., was the main feed supplemented with the gastropod, Xancus pyrum , the green mussel, Perna viridis , marine crab (Charibdis sp.), squid (Loligo sp.), and fish such as clupeids and Leognathus sp. Pueruli and post‐pueruli settled in large numbers (up to 35 individuals/month in one cage) both inside and outside the cages.

The scyllarinid lobster, Petrarctus rugosus was reared to the postlarval nisto in 51 days at 24.9–26.5°C between November 2003 and April 2004 in Chennai, India. The lobster had eight phyllosomal instars. The eighth instars died while moulting to nisto. Instar VI was attained in 34 days with an average intermoult period of 5.4 days, whereas the last two moults took 17 days to complete. The captive breeders mated and bred several times between November and April with peak spawning in February. Repetitive breeding was observed with the brooding period varying from 11 to 17 days.
