This sector has been intensified with the advent of new husbandry practices and the development of new technology. However, the increasing intensification and indiscriminate commercialized farming has enhanced the vulnerability of cultivated aquatic species to damage from pathogens. In efforts to confront these various diseases, frequent use of drugs, antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, and agents for sterilization have unintentionally added to the risk of transmission of pathogens and harmful chemical compounds to consumers. Some natural dietary supplements are believed to have the potential to offset this setback in aquaculture. Application of bio-friendly feed additives such as probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are becoming popular dietary supplements with the potential to not only improve growth performance, but in some cases can also enhance immune competence and the overall well-being of fish and crustaceans. The present review discusses and summarizes the effects of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics application on growth, stress mitigation, microbial composition of intestine, immune system and health condition of aquatic animals in association with existing constraints and future perspectives in aquaculture.

Plants were grown for 6 days in an acid soil with the pH adjusted to 3.9–5.8. The number and length of roots were measured. To validate the method, 12 wheat cultivars of known acidity tolerance and one acid-sensitive barley cultivar were grown on an acid soil in the field with or without amelioration of subsoil acidity. The relative yields of these wheat genotypes on the soil with subsoil acidity ranged from 50 to 89% of yields on soil without subsoil acidity, and were correlated with root growth parameters obtained in the glasshouse. The best correlation was obtained between relative yields in the field (y) and root length per plant (x) at pH 3.9 in the glasshouse (y = –43 + 52*log x, r = 0.95) or root length per plant at pH 3.9 as a percentage of root length at pH 4.8 (y = 1.2 + 46*log x, r = 0.94). Following validation of the glasshouse screening method in the field, 115 wheat genotypes, inclu...

foreign-exchange earnings through
export of processed shrimp and
seafood. In recent times, however, fair wages
and labour rights in the industry have been
key areas of concern for buyers, consumers and
civil society organizations in the United States
(US) and the European Union (EU). Both the
major export-oriented shrimp and seafood
processing sector and readymade garments
sector have been under constant threat from
foreign buyers for violation of work safety,
gross labour non-compliance and other
deprivations. The issue of labour compliance
has long been overlooked both by the industry
and the government departments supposed to
regulate the industry. This paper highlighted the recent progress made under a UNIDO supported project named Better Work and Standards Program - Better Fisheries Quality in Bangladesh.

been a key areas of concern and has attracted attention from various national and international
labour rights organisations and also from buyers and consumers globally. After the tragic incident
of a building collapse, killing more than a thousand garment workers at Dhaka in April 2013, the
Generalised System of Preference (GSP) facility was suspended for Bangladesh by US markets;
which also had ramifications on the labour non-compliance in the shrimp processing sector. The
shrimp and seafood industry has been a very promising economic sector from which the country
receives the second largest foreign exchange earnings. The inability to respond to the evolving
needs of social compliance and implementation of labour rights made the United Nations Industrial
Development Organisation (UNIDO) to collaborate with the Bangladesh government and the
export industry in developing manuals, training of trainers on the labour laws and also aid in their
implementation. In this study an attempt has been made to assess compliance with labour rights
legislation, and the benefits accruing from them by interviewing workers across selected shrimp
processing factories. Though the assessment revealed perceptible progress, it still leaves much to
be desired. Awareness has generally been raised, but many top executives are still not convinced
and carry strong patriarchal views. The government has amended the labour laws, which require
adequate vigilance and inspection to achieve better compliance, to benefit millions of poor workers
engaged in this sector.

The structure of the manual is designed with session plans arranged chronologically and supported by resource materials for the trainees. This short manual written in Bangla will provide the basic technical know-how to the readers and extension providers working at the grassroots level.
