Diversity of Zooplankton in River Siang of Arunachal Pradesh, India

Zooplankton is a group of micro-organisms which do not have strong power of locomotion and usually move by being drifted by water current. In up-stream region of River Siang, they were less in numbers in most of the sampling sites. During the study period, 24 different genera of zooplankton were recorded from the River Siang. The recorded zooplanktons were classified into 5 different groups, among which, Protozoans were represented by 6 genera (22%); Rotifera by 7 genera (30%); Cladocera by 5 genera (22%); Ostracoda by 1 genus (4%) and Copepoda were represented by 5 genera (22%).For more open access journals in Juniper publishers please click on: https://juniperpublishers.com

Benefits of publishing with Juniper Publishers

Publishing with Juniper publishers offers several important benefits for authors, researchers, and the broader community. Here are some key advantages: 1. Increased Visibility and Reach Open Access articles are freely available online, making them accessible to anyone with an internet connection. This typically results in higher readership and greater exposure, especially in developing countries or institutions without subscription access. 2. Higher Citation Rates Studies have shown that Juniper articles often receive more citations than paywalled articles, due to their wider availability. 3. Faster and Broader Impact Juniper publishers speed up the dissemination of research findings, leading to quicker uptake by practitioners, policymakers, and fellow researchers. This can be particularly important in fields like medicine, public health, and environmental science. 4. Compliance with Funders' Requirements Many funding bodies and institutions strongly encourage Juniper Publishers to...

First Record of the Ocean Sunfish, Mola alexandrini (Ranzani 1839), (Tetraodontiformes: Molidae) from the Coastal Waters of Andhra Pradesh, India

Image
  Oceanography & Fisheries Open Access Journal Juniper Publishers Authored by:  P Padmavathi Abstract Mola alexandrine , commonly known as bump-head sunfish has been reported for the first time from Andhra Pradesh coastal waters. A detailed morphological description of the specimen is provided, and the morphometric and meristic data are compared with those of the same species reported by earlier workers. Historical records of the family Molidae from Indian waters are summarized and discussed. Keywords: First record; Mola alexandrine ; Morphometrics and meristics; Ocean sunfish Introduction The ocean sunfishes belonging to the family Molidae are composed of three genera ( Ranzania, Masturus and Mola ) with five valid species viz., Ranzania laevis (Pennant 1776), Masturus lanceolatus (Lienard 1840), Mola mola (Linnaeus 1758), Mola tecta (Nyegaard et al. 2017) and Mola alexandrini (Ranzani 1839) [1-4]. Family Molidae...

Zooplankton Diversity and Composition of Malampaya Inner Sound, Taytay, Palawan, Philippines

Image
  Oceanography & Fisheries Open Access Journal Juniper Publishers Authored by: Arlene L Avillanosa Abstract Zooplankton samples were taken in six sampling stations at Malampaya Inner Sound, Taytay, Palawan, to determine its abundance, distribution, and diversity, and composition related to the complete lunar cycle during the month of April 2007. Horizontal towing and vertical hauling of 333 μm plankton net was conducted from the afternoon to midnight, two hours before the onset of the moon phase. 27 zooplankton taxa belonged to eight (8) different phyla identified. During the entire lunar phase, arthropods, chordates, cnidarians, and chaetognaths were present. Zooplankton appears in great abundance during nighttime, full moon, and high tide based on 1-month sampling. Higher zooplankton diversity was observed during the new and full moon, largely represented by arthropods, particularly copepods and decapods. Generally, the area has a high number of individuals but...
