Common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) is an important fish species for aquaculture in the North-east hill region (NEH) of India. However, in recent years, the growth performance of the existing stock of common carp has been a major concern. In an effort to improve fish production from farmers’ ponds and to evaluate the performance of the breed in mid hill condition, a genetically improved breed of common carp, Amur (Hungarian strain) was introduced in Meghalaya in 2010. Fingerlings of Amur common carp (weight ~14.5 g and length ~10.5 cm), reared under mid-altitude conditions in the fish farm of the ICAR Research Complex for North-eastern hill (NEH) Region, Barapani, Meghalaya, attained maturity in about 14 months period. The first breeding trial with this newly introduced variety was conducted successfully in March 2011 when the atmospheric temperature ranged between 16.0-18.30C. The fertilised eggs hatched in 78-83 h (water temperature 19.0-22.80C and pH 6.5-6.8). Three year studies revealed that the performance of Amur common carp is superior over the local existing breed in farmers ponds under the mid hill conditions.

A field experiment was conducted during the summer season of 2013 at Central Potato Research Station, Shillong, Meghalayato study the effect of sea weed saps on growth and productivity of potato in the North Eastern hill region of India.The trial was laid out in randomized block design, replicated thrice, with 10 treatments. The number of shoot per plant was found to be non-significant and vary from 2.8 to 3.0. The maximum plant at harvest was recorded under application 7.5 Kappaphycus Spray + 100% RDF while lowest under 6.25% + 50% RDF.Maximum small size tuber was found with an application of 10 % Gracilaria spray + RDF which was at par with 2.5 % Kappaphycus spray + RDF and 7.5 % Gracilariaspray + RDF but significantly superior to other treatment. However, the highest medium size tube of potato was noticed under 6.25% Kappaphycus spray along with 50% recommended dose of fertilizer. Highest large size tuber was recorded with an application of 5% Kappaphycusspray + RDF followed by 2.5% Kappaphycus spray along with RDF as well as 7.5 % Gracilaria spray + RDF which was at par, but significantly superior to rest of treatment. Application of 2.5% Kappaphycus spray + 100% RDF recorded the highest productivity of potato (27.1 t/ha) followedby 100% RDF + Kappaphycus spray @ 5.0% (26.6 t/ha) which were at par with each other but significantly superior to the rest of treatments.Based on the economic yield of potato, it may be concluded that the application of 2.5 % Kappaphycus spray + 100% RDF was found to be more profitable under rainfed condition of Meghalaya

Being an amazing picturesque of land, the North Eastern Hill Region of India, consisting of more than 200 ethnic groups, has only about 2.27% of the total rice area and shares only 1.96% of the total rice production in the country. Whether profitable or not, the rice cultivation is a way of life for the people of North Eastern Hill Region of India. Till today, the production and productivity of rice in this region is below the national average because of its fragile ecosystem and the varied physio-graphic conditions pertaining to this region. Neither the wider recommendation of agricultural technology such as variety nor the use of a single technology or variety can solve this problem of low yield. However, the development of location specific high yielding rice variety using the existing land races prevalent in the area can be one of the promising technique for improving the production and productivity of rice cultivation in this region.

SUMMARYFifty-two genotypes of rice bean (Vigna umbellata Thunb. (Ohwi and Ohashi)), an under-cultivated crop, were evaluated in the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2001, 2002 and 2003 in the North Eastern Hill Region, India to select suitable genotypes for cultivation in the North Eastern Hill region and to identify promising parents for hybridization programmes. The germplasm studied comprised 44 Indian and eight foreign genotypes. A wide range of variability was observed for eight characters studied (plant height, number of branches/plant, stem thickness, pod length, number of seeds/pod, 100-seed weight, pod weight/plant and seed yield/plant). Number of days to mid-flowering and number of days to maturity showed little variation. High heritability (0·58) and high genetic advance (0·53) were observed for 100-seed weight, high heritability (0·93) and moderate genetic advance (0·37) for seed yield/plant, and high heritability (0·60) and low genetic advance (0·13) for number of days to mid-flowering. Since the main aim in rice bean breeding is to develop high yielding, early maturing genotypes with low plants, selection was based mainly on the mean performance of these three traits over the 3 years, as well as their stability. One of the genotypes, RBL 1, was very high yielding, although the yield was not stable across years. Another genotype, RBS 24, was very early maturing and had very short plants compared with the other genotypes studied. These two, along with several other genotypes selected, may be promising for a hybridization programme aiming to develop dwarf, early maturing genotypes with high yield. The best yielding genotypes, namely RBL 1, RCRB1-3 and IC 187911, may be recommended for cultivation in the shifting cultivation areas (Jhum) regions of North Eastern India.

The moustache danio Danio dangila (Hamilton, 1822) is one of the most popular native ornamental fishes of theNorth-eastern hill region of India. The species needs immediate attention owing to its reduced abundance in the wild. The length-weight relationship of D. dangila indicated an isometric growth in general and was found to follow the cube law. The L-W relationships derived for the species were: log W = -5.009 + 3.00 log L (male and female combined); log W = -5.542 + 3.31 log L (male) and log W = -5.462 + 3.26 log L (female). The 41-50 mm size group was found to be predominant (44.25%) in the wild. The fish predominantly feeds on phytoplankton (97.12%), with Myxophycea forming 68%, followed by Zygnemophyceae 25%, Ulvophyceae 3%, Zygnematophyceae 2%, Cryptophyceae 1% and Bacillariophyceae 1%. The major zooplankton group in the diet was Rotifera. Nematodes and other similar worms also formed a part of their diet. The sex ratio (female: male) estimated was 1:1.77. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) for gravid females ranged from 2.55 to 24.12 with an average value of 7.65. The minimum and maximum fecundity were 400 and 2000 in females having a length of 52 and 64 mm and weight of 2.52 and 3.15 g respectively.
