Reservoirs are man-made lakes created by impounding river water for the purpose of irrigation, hydel power generation, flood control and industrial water needs. In India a large number of river valley projects have been commissioned since independence as a part of our development activities, resulting in a chain of such artificial impoundments. These water sheets, by virtue of their sheer magnitude and due to their high biogenic production potential, constitute one of the most important resources for inland fisheries development in the country. In present book the existing literature on limnology and fisheries of Indian reservoirs has been reviewed by covering more than 165 reservoirs located in different parts of the country. An attempt has been made to gather authentic information on reservoir morphometry, seed stocking, fish yield, crafts and gears, socio-economic conditions of fishermen and fisheries management followed in different reservoirs scattered in different states of the country. The reservoir fisheries resources and their utilization are dealt with separately in respect of each state. With its application oriented and interdisciplinary approach, It is hoped that the students, teachers, researchers, scientists and policy makers in India and abroad will find this book much more useful.

Plants and animals inhabited in different forest ecosystems of Similipal are changing continually in their composition and population due to deforestation, fragmentation, forest fire and other human activities. These activities have posed serious threat to the survival and future sustainability of the unique biodiversity of Similipal. Thus conservation of plants and animals of the reserve in their own habitats needs to know how they exploit the resources. In this context ecologists are playing a major role providing scientific inputs in conservation efforts. Therefore, there has been a need to compile and collate the research findings of ecological research and other allied disciplines and link ecological research with biodiversity conservation. The scope of this book has been able to gather ecological information on phytosociology and phenology of various plant groups, litter decomposition and nutrient turn over on the forest floor, distribution of animals and their status, and the threats imposed on them. The said ecological information compiled about the plants and animals of Similipal in this volume will help the researchers, practitioners and forest managers to formulate management action plans for future sustainability of its biodiversity.

Agriculture created enormous job opportunities in various fields, which are based on all those examinations conducted by ICAR, SAUs, state board and banking institutions.

Spiders are least explored non-chemical alternative in insect-pest control. Spiders are often confused with other long-legged insects and mistakenly feared as poisonous. This book provides an introduction to the spiders covering its physical characteristics, behaviour and physiology, neurobiology, reproductive characteristics, habits, habitats, prey, relationships to human beings and various challenges faced in rice cropping with special emphasis on its insect pests and role of spiders as an effective biocontrol agent. Along with as a biocontrol agent, spiders also act as an important detrivores agent and play an important role in food web and overall ecology of the rice field. Spiders are described with simple text and full-colour illustrations. With indiscriminate use of pesticides, spiders are facing threat and populations are decreasing reducing its pest control ability. Hence, there is urgent need to conserve this generalist predator by providing artificial shelters, promoting bio-rational control methods and restricting use of chemicals in the rice fields. This book is an asset for students, teacher and researchers of plant pathology, agronomy, entomology, zoology, crop protection as well as person engaged in spiders in rice

In today's technology-world, the role of librarians or information professionals is deviating from traditional libraries to virtual or digital libraries. Similarly software industry Librarian, Cyberarian, Knowledge Manager, Information Scientist and Data Manager. With this names LIS professionals are becoming Webmaster and Intranet coordinators, combining their technical expertise with information management ability. The said centres are gathering world knowledge and disseminates its services to the clients very effectively throughout the organization. Knowledge sharing throughout the organization enhances existing organizational business processes, introduces more efficient and effective business processes and removes redundant processes. It is a discipline that promotes a collaborative and integrated approach to the creation, capture, organization access and use of an enterprise's knowledge assets. The center has now become a mainstream priority for companies of all sizes. Capturing a company's most valuable Knowledge and distributing it effectively across the enterprise is a business critical issue for many help desk, customer support and IT departments.
