CHARACTERISTICS OF VILLORITA CYPRINOID POPULATION IN VEMBANAUD LAKE
By, Sneha Elsa Paulose Prof (Dr) GadangiIndira
Abstract:
A class of research on the population features of Villorita cyprinoides in Vembanaud Lake is based on the age distribution and several hydrographic parameters that caused the black clams to be distributed throughout the lake. The purpose of this research is to examine the age structure and growth patterns of Villorita cyprinoides in Vembanaud Lake, as well as the effects of different parameters.
The most important factor in the spawning process is a change in salinity; 10 to 12 ppt is the optimal salinity range for spawning. The closure of the Thaneermukkom Barrage at Vambanaud Lake, routine dredging, pollution from factories and plants that process shrimp, ecotourism, and water hyacinth weed are some of the other dangers mentioned.
