A special lecture on "Biodiversity Conservation Strategies" at Kongu College of Arts and Science, Karur-Dt. (21.08.2017).

“Conservation strategies” are four main groups for Biodiversity Wealth. First is maintain landscapes and remove threats from the particular areas in any ecosystem or biomes. Second is reinstating the critical eco-system or particular community. Best example is pollination processes. Third is recover of threatened species from the particular eco-system or from the wildlife eco-system. Fourth is controlling threatened species like adapting the new climate changes. These four strategies are recommended by foreign people. Whereas, in India, so different. Here, there are two types of strategies are followed. One is in-situ conservation. Here, Protected Areas (PA) is superior one. It have many sub-units like National Parks, Sanctuaries and Biosphere Reserves. In another part, ex-situ conservation. Here, Sacred Groves, Seen Bank, Cryopreservation, Zoo and Botanical gardens. From this special lecture, I have stressed the importance of conservation techniques and an individual’s responsibility is also a vital role for conservation process.

“Beneficial of Microbial Diversity” has explained by me at Govt. Boys Higher Secondary School, Velliyanai, Karur-Dt. Here, I have pointed out the importance of microbial communities such as protozoan groups, flagellates, radiolarians, hypotrichs and other larval forms. In this function, students are highly motivated to ask the questions related to the microbial communities. Protozoans are single celled organism. In our ocean they are number of variety of organisms are available. Few of protozoans were identified by National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa, India. I have said that around 107 species of protozoan groups were identified by me in the Gulf of Mannar, India. This is the first report from Rameshewaram areas, Tamilnadu, India, after the B.L Bhatia (1936) manual. From this speech, I have concluded that the importance and beneficial of microbes are available from our Gulf of Mannar areas, India. Such kinds may be very useful to medicinal values and essential for microbial loop system of ocean.

“Microzooplankton” such as protozoans, crustaceans, rotatorians, and larval forms have been studied in the Gulf of Mannar islands, India. Abundance, distribution and species composition were carried out in these areas. Parameters of different seasonal variation being analysed. In species composition, species have been adapted a wide range of changes. They have been recorded. This is due to may be temperature change or salinity or may be DO or BOD variations. From this analysis, the investigator has found tremendous species diversity of protozoan groups were recorded. Such kind of varieties not observed from foreign countries. This measurement proved by statistical procedures with spss package analysis. From this research, very peculiar species of protozoan ciliates have been identified in between of endangered corals and poriferas.

Few of Protozoan Ciliate groups were isolated from Gut of Marine Pila. (2011).

A Novel Compound isolated from Moneuplotes crassus (26.08.2011).

“Moneuplotes crassus” is a benthic group of sedimented marine ciliates. These hypotrichous groups always in intertidal zone of marine coastal area, particularly in abundant in Gulf of Mannar coast areas, India. They are more potential to produce secondary metabolites. The body length is 80 to 100 micron in size. Dorso-ventally flatted structure. Its motility by cirri like cilia. They were cultured and extracted by advanced centrifugation process. The isolated compound is liquid alkaloid nature. The compound isolated by HPLC techniques. This extract treated with inflammatory activity carrageenan induced paw edema in albino rats. From this experimental study, the researcher has confirmed that the Euplotes of certain hypotrichs have the properties of antiflammatory activities.

Molecular Characterization of Hypotrichous Ciliates from Gulf of Mannar, India. (01.03.2011).

“Protozoan ciliates” are single celled organism. Some marine ciliates have unique features. It is living in the shallow and benthic waters always. It feeds only very minute tiny live organism like cyanobacteria and some algae. It is sometime, infectious nature like diarrhoea occurred. Hence, aseptic nature is very essential one for it culture. It belongs to the order of Hypotrichous. It have many variety of Euplotes species. It have two types of populations. It called as Auto-gamous and Non-autogamos nature. E. crassus is one among the autogamous species. After processing, the researcher took the pure culture under high laboratory condition. We have used molecular procedures to isolate the nuclear materials and sequenced. Further, we have submitted in the NCBI for 18SrRNA.

Gulf of Mannar, is one of the beautiful paradise for marine organism. Govt. of Tamilnadu gave more fund for recovery of Gulf of Mannar, islands from pollution. In the present context, few of islands, completely sank in the water. For example Puvarasanpatti , Velangu and Vann islands are submerged in the water. Erosion is major threat to biodiversity loss. Gulf of Mannar is first marine biosphere reserve in the South Asia. It is rich diversity about 4200 flora and fauna recorded. This ecosystem comprises mangroves, wet land, Sea grass, Estuary and Coral reefs. Govt. officials encouraged the sea weed culture and eco-tourism for conservation process.

Key issues in Gulf of Mannar

• Unsustainable fishing practices
• Submergence of islands
• Excess collection of sea weed and shell
• Pollution from factories, power plants and harbours
• Climate change and temperature rise
