Preface

 The Department of Zoology organized a National Seminar on Environmental Biology and Fish Biology during February 01-03, 2002 under their UGC-DSA programmer. This Department has already earned recognition for their notable achievements in various fields of Zoology, and identified for Special Assistance Programme, and COSIST by UGC and FIST programme by the DST. Therefore, it is obvious that a large number of scientists across the country would show interest in participating in the National Seminar organized by this Department of excellence. The Seminar turned out a unique academic platform for viable and thought provoking interactions between the leading and budding scientists and has culminated in publication of the Proceedings of the Seminar. I do believe that the treatise giving sound, critical, and provocative ideas of selective presentations in the seminar will be of particular value to those who are actively engaged in teaching and research in the areas of environmental and fish  biology
