    Abstract Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has become the largest pandemic that has affected 210 countries. Rolling data indicate that 257,3605 people are infected by the disease, from which 701,838 have recovered and 178,562 have died. No specific medicine or vaccine is available yet to control the disease, hence, social distancing via lockdown is widely adopted as the only preventive measure. Social distancing is observed at different level of strictness in different counties but it almost made the world to stands still.

    Abstract In coastal and abiding zones, ground water continuously faces a very slight but alarmingly increasing trend in salinity due to several reasons such as the excess loss or use of it, with the constant dissolution of salts from the Earth’s surface and heat-trapping pollution from human activities, rising sea levels and finally, high flooding. Many recent studies have indicated that even a slight elevation in ground water salinity may affect freshwater inhabitants, highlighting the importance of research on the effects of low salinity stress on coastal zone freshwater inhabitants. Along with abiotic factors such as salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and alkalinity, anthropogenic factors also cause a lot of stress on the inhabitants in coastal zones. Climatic factors also play an important role in influencing the life of coastal water inhabitants. For example, statistics such as those obtained by correlation and discriminant function analysis indicate that sublethal salinity acts as a strong modulator in the physiology of inhabiting fish in fresh as well as coastal water. Parameters such as increase in body weight, feed intake and irregularities in morphometry increase under higher salinities, which are confirmed by a decline in the growth of fishes. Similarly, blood physiology aspects, such as a significant loss in hemoglobin content, the RBC count and eosinophils, are coupled with amelioration in neutrophil count at the higher salinities of 6 and 9 ppt in few freshwater organisms. Normal histoarchitecture is also lost in most fish under high salinity conditions and higher anthropogenic loads. The generation of tissue damage in terms of oxidative stress is prominent under high fluctuations in abiotic factors including higher salinity or under high anthropogenic loads. Hence, a loss in compromised normal physiology due to the toxic effects of low- or high-salinity saline water or in fresh inhabitants including hardy fishes under changing climatic conditions are evident. This raises concerns about maintaining water ...

    Abstract For biochemical assay of every enzyme including redox regulatory enzymes, any interfering small molecules (ISM) that may cross react with substrates or indirectly influence the reaction, must be removed. Such ISM(s) if present, need to be either neutralized or filtered out both from the sample or from the reaction mixture. This is a standard protocol adapted worldwide and fundamental rule in biochemistry. Without such approach, results obtained from a study that includes enzymatic assays seem to be inaccurate. Such inaccuracy raises question on the use of such data in future, especially as ecotoxic biomarkers. Tissue specific seasonal variation in natural titre of such ISM(s) in organisms leads to give rise counterfeit results. Such a case is highlighted in this correspondence article in relation to assay of redox regulatory enzymes including superoxide dismutase, catalase, especially the enzymes of glutathione system in presence of glutathione (GSH) in sample. This fact is discussed considering a recent publication doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoenv.2017.03.056 in which the authors have measured glutathione enzymes in tissues without removing GSH, that acts as ISM, from the sample. It is inferred that logical and sound scientific practices need to be followed for measuring biochemical activity of all enzymes in general and enzymes of glutathione system in particular. The main objective of this article was to make an alert in scientific society to avoid such mistakes in future.

    Abstract Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has become the largest pandemic that has affected 210 countries. Rolling data indicate that 257,3605 people are infected by the disease, from which 701,838 have recovered and 178,562 have died. No specific medicine or vaccine is available yet to control the disease, hence, social distancing via lockdown is widely adopted as the only preventive measure. Social distancing is observed at different level of strictness in different counties but it almost made the world to stands still. Although scientific articles on this largest social move are scanty, it resulted in benefiting the deteriorated environment to revive back. Many environmental indices such as lowering NO2 and CO2 emissions and reduction in particulate matters in air as a result of less human activities have led to clean air and pollution free water in many countries. Undoubtedly, the world was experiencing pollution in several countries due to mainly human activities including urbanization, industrialization, fossil fuel exhaustion etc. Under such situation a special (natural) a protective measure was awaited to fix environmental issues. Probably, the lockdown is one of the natural effects expected by nature via introduction of COVID-19. It is because, introduction of COVID-19 to nature was an outcome of mutation from two of its pre-existing forms, although, debate on it is still continuing. Viability of CoV-19 virus found to have a lot of correlation with aquatic and terrestrial environmental parameters such as pH, surface type, temperature etc. Air pollution is found to increase the risk of COVID-19 infection, therefore, use of mask and alcohols based standard sterilisers is strongly recommended. However, the self-revival rate of nature shall continue during post-lockdown period and a master plan must be adapted by national and international (mostly political) bodies to revive the Mother Nature completely.

    Abstract Abstract Background Fish act as an affordable source of animal protein as well as the source for many other substances of nutraceutical importance. Under rapid biomagnification of pollutants, low tolerance to climatic stressors increase susceptibility of various fish to large-scale mortality. Therefore, understanding the magnitude and type of their responses to individual or multiple climatic factors/stressors may help to conserve the genome of threatened organisms of pharmaceutical or nutraceutical importances such as fish. The study of the broad range of genetic material under varied climatic conditions, i.e., ecogenomics, such as nucleotide sequences of DNA and RNA that is present in the same fish species under particular environmental condition due to climatic changes seems to be important for their management. Aim The aim of this study was to gather information about nutraceutical values, ecogenomics data, and issues related to handling ecogenomics data and to identify limitations to study influences of climatic changes that may lead to design appropriate conservation strategies, despite existence of multiple constraints for conservation implications against climate change adaptations. Method Related literature in PubMed and other electronic database were analyzed for this study. As per the requirement, the numbers of articles found on a particular terminology such as “fish,” “ecogenomics,” and “ecogenomics in fish,” in PubMed were only included. Results It was observed that despite high nutritional and nutraceutical values of fish, study on their ecogenomics is very limited. Rate of climate change, restraints to climate change adaptation, several limitations to migration, constraints to in situ adaptation, connectedness of populations and level of gene flow, and capacity of plasticity for adaptation are many of the constraints that lead to changes in fish physiology, but the effects of such constraints on genomic instability in fish are scantily studied. On the other hand, a huge amount of generated ...

  8. Article ; Online: Spike in pollution to ignite the bursting of COVID-19 second wave is more dangerous than spike of SAR-CoV-2 under environmental ignorance in long term: a review

    Abstract Specific areas in many countries such as Italy, India, China, Brazil, Germany and the USA have witnessed that air pollution increases the risk of COVID-19 severity as particulate matters transmit the virus SARS-CoV-2 and causes high expression of ACE2, the receptor for spike protein of the virus, especially under exposure to NO₂, SO₂ and NOx emissions. Wastewater-based epidemiology of COVID-19 is also noticed in many countries such as the Netherlands, the USA, Paris, France, Australia, Spain, Italy, Switzerland China, India and Hungary. Soil is also found to be contaminated by the RNA of SARS-CoV-2. Activities including defecation and urination by infected people contribute to the source for soil contamination, while release of wastewater containing cough, urine and stool of infected people from hospitals and home isolation contributes to the source of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in both water and soil. Detection of the virus early before the outbreak of the disease supports this fact. Based on this information, spike in pollution is found to be more dangerous in long-term than the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. It is because the later one may be controlled in future within months or few years by vaccination and with specific drugs, but the former one provides base for many diseases including the current and any future pandemics. Although such predictions and the positive effects of SARS-CoV-2 on environment was already forecasted after the first wave of COVID-19, the learnt lesson as spotlight was not considered as one of the measures for which 2nd wave has quickly hit the world.
