Sasthamkotta lake in the southwestern coast of India is the largest freshwater lake in the region. The lake has a water spread area of about 3.75 km 2 and serves as a drinking water source for about seven lakh people in southern Kerala. Unfortunately, the lake is at the verge of severe...
Katla or Catla also known as major Indian carp is commonly found in rivers and lakes of India and one of the most popular species of freshwater fish. The catla along with roho labeo and mrigal carp are the most important aquacultured freshwater fish in India. –Mrigal Carp– मृगल...
Globally, biodiversity is in decline6with freshwater ecosystems being particularly affected20. On the basis of monitored natural inland wetlands (including peatlands, marshes, swamps, lakes, rivers and pools, among others), 35% of wetland area was lost between 1970 and 2015, at a rate three tim...

Abstract The vast amount of plastic waste emitted into the environment is of increasing concern because there is mounting evidence for various toxic effects of microplastics on living organisms. In particular, despite freshwater ecosystems are essential sources of water supply, they have been less inves...
Abstract The magnitude of copepods’ responses to pesticides, individually and in mixture, is little understood. The aims of this study were to evaluate: (i) the effects of the pesticides fipronil and 2,4-D, individually and in mixture, on the freshwater copepodNotodiaptomus iheringi; and ...
However, lakes do provide interesting information, such as the fact that fMPs do not accumulate in the middle of lakes in gyres (like the oceans do) but rather on the coast, closer to urban centres [57]. However, most of the scientific literature determines fMPs by sampling in the ...
