Preserving Freshwater Fishes and Habitats is need of hour due to Global Climate Change.We have to join hand to Saving Habitats .
I agree with Mohan and Abboud and believe joint effort is essential in this regards as it is for other issues related to the environment. Despite commonalities, freshwater habitat varies by regions; therefore it is also possible that specific questions are different for different areas.
Dear Dr. Mohan,
Yours is a very worthy idea and I endorse it with pleasure.

My dear friend @Ramachandra, it is a fine idea. Do you have any plan for action? I do follow your activity in this regard! Saving Freshwater Fishes and Habitats is transboundary problem where all of us must act! "Warmer lakes, rivers and streams threaten aquatic species, by disrupting reproductive cycles, displacing cold-water species and creating dead zones in deep lakes."

Dear Ljubomir Jacić
Thanks for your suggestion. I will Collect the opinion and we all collectively work towards Saving Freshwater Fishes and Habitats is transboundary problem .
In Indian context many fresh water bodies vanished,waiting opinion from my Indian colleagues also .
We all to gather should find solution for this problems
Regards for all
I agree with you friends. It is a trans boundary problem. Indeed, all the problems that relates to environment now a days are trans boundary problems. I am with you.
Dear Ramachandra Mohan,
Thank you for your effort, yes, it's very important problems, I think it needs to collective effort with regional working teams to eliminate the freshwater deterioration. I am with you to work together on this issue
Regards
This is a worthy course. I do hope people that are knowledgeable in fisheries will join and be active in propagating this message. Indeed fisheries provide a means of living for millions of coastal/ riverine dwellers around the globe. I can only help in terms of climate change/ hydrology/ GIS/ modelling. Hope I can be useful.
Dear Prof Ram.
It is a great effort (project) that every scientists belonging to various discipline can contribute. However, in India the following institutes under ICAR, conduct studies on the fisheries development in detail.
1. Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute, Barrackpore, West Bengal
2. Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture, Chennai, Tamilnadu
3. Central Institute of Fisheries Education,Mumbai, Maharashtra
4. Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, Kochi, Kerala
5. Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, Bhubaneshwar, Orissa
6. Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi, Kerala
7. National Bureaue of Fish Genetic Resources, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
8. National Research Centre on Coldwater Fisheries, Bhimtal, Uttaranchal
As you have mentioned it is trans boundary problem, every country shall have a separate body.
May be if you accept my opinion, lets start with identifying the problems faced by fishes in freshwater habitat due to global warming in our locality. Then we can try expanding our research findings to other regions at large.
Good luck
promoted community fish farming in existing and many new excavated ponds (in community ponds, private farm ponds) for easy access to fish as a contributor of animal protein, nutrition diversity
We have taken up studies on multiple advantages of ponds filled with harvested rain water, that includes aquaculture, in coastal South Gujarat. The constraints are people in coastal areas prefer saline water fish and due to continuous pumping of ground water for irrigation and domestic purpose, fish ponds needs to be refilled. Hypothesis is if small farmers having less than 2.5 ha land constructs a dug out pond in the depression of his filled and grows fish for 3-4 months in stagnated water than he can get better returns from the wasted portion of land.
Freshwater ecologist say that they are already seeing changes in waterways from intensive farming and these will be exacerbated by climate change in the drying regions, water temperatures rise, sedimentation increase and less available oxygen in the water.
