    Nucleic acid based identification of viruses of Penaeus vannamei in India
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) RAJEISH MOGER, b, f. Sc
    Aquaculture has been around for centuries in small, rural settings, but it has exploded worldwide in the past few decades into a commercial activity for the global market. Presently, farmed aquatic animals make up more than one-fourth of the meat, which is consumed and the aquaculture industry is an attractive means of earning foreign exchange revenue.

    NUCLEIC ACID BASED IDENTIFICATION OF NODAVIRUS AND IRIDOVIRUS ASSOCIATED WITH WILD CAUGHT AND CULTURED MARINE FINFISH
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) SANTHOSH, K. S., B.F.Sc
    A virus is a small obligate intracellular parasite that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. It is ubiquitous in nature and infects all types of organisms, from animals and plants including both terrestrial and aquatic to bacteria and archaea (Sano et al., 2004). It has been recognized that viruses are an important component of marine aquatic ecosystem and to determine its role in such systems, it is essential to imderstand virus-host interactions (Jiang et al., 1998). Only a small percentage of the viruses from the ocean have been characterized because it was only 15-20 years ago, scientists realized the key role played by viruses in functioning of the ocean. Due to lack of their host and host cell availability, they carmot be cultivated in the controlled environment of the laboratory

    DNA BARCODING OF SOME ENDEMIC CYPRINIDS OF ORNAMENTAL POTENTIAL
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) DILIP KUMAR., B. i. Sc.
    The global biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate and most part of the biodiversity remained unknown because the conventional morphological methods of cataloguing species are long, laborious and needs high level of expertise. However, cataloguing of all life forms becomes an important requirement in biodiversity studies where in taxonomy plays an important role. Conventional taxonomic classification of fishes is generally based on the morphometric characteristics, but often these characters fail to distinguish closely related species as well as eggs, larvae and young ones of a species. Hence, there is a need to use additional techniques which helps to distinguish the cryptic species. DNA barcoding is one such technique which helps to differentiate the fish species based on the DNA sequence
