Development of a monoclonal antibody‐based flow‐through immunoassay ( FTA ) for detection of white spot syndrome virus ( WSSV ) in black tiger shrimp P enaeus monodon - R Patil; K M Shankar; B T N Kumar; A Kulkarni; P Patil; N Moger (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2013)
A flow‐through immunoassay ( FTA ), an improved version of immunodot, was developed using a nitrocellulose membrane baked onto adsorbent pads enclosed in a plastic cassette to detect white spot syndrome virus ( WSSV ) in shrimp. Sharp purple dots developed with WSSV against the white background of the nitrocellulose membrane. The detection limits of WSSV by the FTA and immunodot were 0.312 and 1.2 μg mL −1 crude WSSV protein, respectively. The FTA could be completed in 8–10 min compared with 90 min for immunodot. The FTA was 100 times more sensitive than 1‐step polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) and in between that of the 1‐ and 2‐step PCR protocol recommended by the Office of International Epizootics ( OIE ). In experimental, orally infected shrimp post‐larvae, WSSV was first detected 14, 16 and 18 h post‐infection (hpi) by FTA , immunodot and one‐step PCR , respectively. The FTA detected WSSV 2 and 4 h earlier than immunodot and one‐step PCR , respectively. The FTA was more sensitive (25/27) than one‐step PCR (23/27) and immunodot (23/27) for the detection of WSSV from white spot disease outbreak ponds. The reagent components of the FTA were stable giving expected results for 6 m at 4–8 °C. The FTA is available as a rapid test kit called ‘RapiDot’ for the early detection of WSSV under field conditions.

OPTIMAL DEVELOPMENT OF GROUNDWATER IN A WELL COMMAND OF EASTERN INDIA USING INTEGRATED SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION MODELLING - S. Mohanty; Madan K. Jha; Ashwani Kumar; P. S. Brahmanand (Irrigation and Drainage, 2013)
Quantitative techniques such as simulation modelling and optimization play a vital role in the management of complex groundwater systems. This study demonstrates the combined use of groundwater‐flow and resource optimization models to scientifically address the water scarcity problem in well‐based command areas through a case study in eastern India. A transient simulation‐optimization model was developed for the study area using Visual MODFLOW (groundwater‐flow simulation tool) and the response‐matrix technique to maximize pumping from the existing tubewells. The optimized maximum pumping rates obtained from the integrated simulation‐optimization model were further used in linear programming‐based optimization models to determine optimal cropping patterns for the wet, normal and dry scenarios. The net annual income from the optimal cropping patterns for the wet, normal and dry scenarios were estimated at Rs. 81.8 million, Rs. 76.4 million and Rs. 71.6 million, respectively. The results of simulation‐optimization modelling indicated that if the suggested optimal cropping patterns are adopted in the study area, the net annual irrigation water requirements will be reduced by 28, 35 and 40%, and net annual income will be increased by 28, 23 and 17% during wet, normal and dry scenarios, respectively.

OPTIMAL WATER SCHEDULING IN IRRIGATION CANAL NETWORK USING PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION - Anil W. Pawde; Yogesh P. Mathur; Rajesh Kumar (Irrigation and Drainage, 2013)
Rotational water scheduling in the irrigation canal network is a problem of preparing the operation schedule of lateral canals to deliver the required quantity of water to the irrigation fields under it within the rotational period as per the crop water requirement. The important objectives of a rotational canal schedule are to minimize capacity of canal and operational stages of the head gate of supply canal; subject to canal capacity constraint. In the present paper, to achieve these objectives, the decision variables considered are rate of water delivery and start time of delivery points, which are determined by the model within the specified range. Particle swarm optimization has been used to solve the problem and applied on the two water scheduling problems for generating the optimal water schedule. The schedules generated by the model shows that the inflow hydrographs of supply canals are approximately constant throughout the rotation period with least operation of canal head gate which could results in minimum conveyance losses. This model could be used for the preparation of a rotational schedule for the existing irrigation canal system and a more economic design of the supply canals for a new irrigation canal system.

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.

Downscaling of surface temperature for lake catchment in an arid region in India using linear multiple regression and neural networks - Manish Kumar Goyal; C. S. P. Ojha (International Journal of Climatology, 2012)
In this paper, downscaling models are developed using a Linear Multiple Regression (LMR) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for obtaining projections of mean monthly maximum and minimum temperatures ( T max and T min) to lake‐basin scale in an arid region in India. The effectiveness of these techniques is demonstrated through application to downscale the predictands for the Pichola lake region in Rajasthan State in India, which is considered to be a climatically sensitive region. The predictor variables are extracted from: (i) the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis dataset for the period 1948–2000; and (ii) the simulations from the third‐generation Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3) for emission scenarios A1B, A2, B1, and COMMIT for the period 2001–2100. The scatter‐plots and cross‐correlations are used for verifying the reliability of the simulation of the predictor variables by the CGCM3 and to study the predictor–predictand relationships. The performance of the linear multiple regression and ANN models was evaluated based on several statistical performance indicators. The ANN‐based models are found to be superior to LMR‐based models and subsequently, the ANN‐based model is applied to obtain future climate projections of the predictands. An increasing trend is observed for T max and T min for A1B, A2, and B1 scenarios, whereas no trend is discerned with the COMMIT scenario by using predictors.
