Compositional Alteration of Fin Fish due to Climate Change Induced Oscillation of Hydrological Parameters
Journal Title: International Journal of Aquaculture and Fishery Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Climate change in the lower Gangetic delta has caused an increase in water temperature and altered the salinity and pH of the aquatic phase. Such changes have caused a significant alteration in the diversity spectrum of fin fishes prevailing in the system. The Shannon Weiner species diversity indices computed from the catch of commercially important fin fishes and trash fin fishes (sample size = mean of 20 catches of 100 kg each from each landing station; duration 1984 – 2014) indicate a pronounced temporal variation both in the western and central sector of Indian Sundarbans that have contrasting geo-physico-chemical features.
