Article Synopsis
- - Tropical inland capture fisheries face multiple vulnerabilities, including habitat destruction, pollution, overfishing, and climate change.
- - The paper highlights the lack of comprehensive studies on the effects of climate change on Indian inland fisheries and calls attention to the need for ecosystem-based management approaches.
- - It provides a bibliometric review of the climatic challenges to Indian fisheries and discusses adaptive strategies that have been proposed for the sustainability of these resources.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the effects of inland heat waves (IHW) on the ecological health of the Bhomra wetland and the Ganga River stretch in India, finding significant temperature and humidity impacts during summer months (March-June).
- - The research utilized principal component analysis (PCA) to understand how IHW influenced various water quality parameters like dissolved oxygen, nutrients, and plankton abundance, revealing a strong correlation between IHW and changes in these factors.
- - Results indicated that IHW negatively affects water quality and primary producers, which can disrupt food availability for local fish populations, emphasizing the need for effective mitigation strategies to protect these ecosystems.
