This study investigates the reproductive seasonality variation in Indian Major Carps (IMC), specifically Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Catla (Labeo catla). Utilizing field observations and analysis of gonadosomatic index (GSI), distinct reproductive patterns were observed among these species. The findings highlight that, in the absence of scientific interventions such as photoperiod manipulation and feeding management, a significant portion of Rohu and Catla fish reach maturity and breed after and before monsoon period (December and March). Understanding these reproductive variations is crucial for the identification of genetically distinct stocks suitable for line development that can reproduce during the winter seasons. This knowledge contributes to the strategic management of year-round seed availability. By elucidating the natural reproductive cycles of these economically important species, researchers can optimize breeding programs to align with environmental conditions, potentially identifying genetically different stock for line development, which can breed during winter seasons.

There is a body of knowledge which has evolved over the years that is designed to increase the productivity of the organization and of the individuals who make up the organization. The objective of present study is to minimize the time consumption and to increase the productivity by maintaining the inventory levels at each machine of the manufacturing line of a radial ball bearing unit using standard time calculations of time study. After deciding the required inventory to be maintained at each machine, the company would meet the demand and foresee profits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
