The theme of this edited volume persists on the enumeration and assessment of species diversity of invertebrates and vertebrates in variety of aquatic ecosystems across the length and width of the country. Behavioural, structural and organizational diversity in fish has been included which are equally important issues in the larger frame of biodiversity. The influence of dangerous chemicals on various components of biodiversity and their remediation to protect organisms and environments has also been represented. This book addresses holistic and issue based approach towards the aquatic environment and hence is unique.
