Article Synopsis
- - A new species of eel, Ophichthus naevius sp. nov., has been identified from specimens collected off the Cuddalore coast in India, characterized by a distinct color pattern and specific anatomical features.
- - The study includes molecular analyses showing that the new species is genetically distinct, displaying 10.2% divergence from Ophichthus sangjuensis and clustering closely with other related species in phylogenetic tests.
- - Additionally, the research extends the known range of Ophichthus chilkensis in South India and identifies its closest genetic relatives, suggesting a diverse lineage among haplopheine eels.
Prevalence, Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Resistance Gene Detection in Bacteria Isolated from Goldfish and Tiger Barb from Ornamental Fish Farms of Tamil Nadu.

Unlabelled: This study aims to determine the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pattern in freshwater ornamental cyprinids, such as Goldfish and Tiger barb. Molecular characterization of bacterial isolates confirmed the presence of 7 bacterial isolates in Goldfish and 6 in Tiger barb. Antimicrobial susceptibility test using 36 antibiotics revealed a higher resistance pattern for bacitracin, rifampicin, trimethoprim, cefalexin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, nalidixic acid and nitrofurantoin.

Aqueous seaweed extracts with the addition of iron solution were mixed using a magnetic stirrer which resulted in a color change indicating the formation of iron nanoparticles. The iron nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using Sargassum wightii extract.
