Potential Nutritional Evaluation of 20 seaweeds, experimental extraction of phycocolloids from 6 seaweeds available around St. Martin’s island and continuation of taxonomic base line study.
|
- Samples were collected from January to March.
- Continuation of taxonomic base line study, a total of 28 samples collected but no new samples were collected by Navy team.
- Physicochemical parameters analysis done
- As Experimental extraction of Phycocolloids from 6 seaweeds, 2 target samples were collected but very sufficient in quantity by the Navy divers but Covid-19 situation hindered the analytical process
- As Potential Nutritional Evaluation of 20 seaweeds, Only 3 target samples were collected but very sufficient in quantity by the Navy divers but Covid-19 situation hindered the analytical process
- Navy diving team was engaged for sampling, the team was very unfamiliar with seaweeds and again a new set of divers were engaged every month. So it was very difficult for them to find target samples specimens.
- Some essential analytical and related equipment are still required in deed for the study.

- The ranges for the physico-chemical parameters of recreational beach water (RBW) in January, February, March and May 2020 were 22.01 to 25.7°C, 25.15 to 26.98°C, 25.91 to 29.94°C and 30.2 to 35.32°C for temperature, 30. 57 to 32.72, 32.16 to 33.58, 33.25 to 33.62 and 32.76 to 33.71 ppt for salinity, 8.11 to 8.38, 8.17 to 8.42, 8.10 to 8.43 and 8.05 to 8.20 for pH, 45615 to 48810, 38025 to 52015, 40345 to 49214 and 39260 to 49110 mg/L for TDS and 6.22 to 7.85, 5.83 to 6.95, 5.26 to 6.34 and 3.95 to 5.43 mg/L for DO respectively.
- The ranges of BOD5 in January, February, March and May 2020 were 18.23 to 24 mg/L, 18.9 to 26.45 mg/L, 17.45 to 25.43 mg/L and 13 to 23.5 mg/L respectively.
- The maximum DO were observed in January and February 2020 due to exist in the strong north-east wind and well-mixing in beach water and minimum DO was observed in May 2020.
- The values of BOD5 and TDS in St.11 (Kolatoli Beach), St. 13 (Sugondha Beach), St. 14 (Labony Beach), St. 16 (Naziratek Beach) and St. 02 (Inani Beach) were crossed the limit of tolerance level of the norms [20 mg/L for BOD5 and 30000 to 40000 mg/L for TDS].
- The RBW quality of Kolatoli, Sugondha, Laboni and Inani are slightly polluted.
- The ranges for the physico-chemical parameters of the Moheshkhali Channel water (MCW) in January, February and March 2020 were 21.01 to 21.7°C, 21.37 to 22.77°C and 24.91 to 28.94°C for temperature, 30. 2 to 32.82, 30.26 to 33.12 and 32.25 to 33.42 ppt for salinity, 7.69 to 8.05, 7.78 to 8.10 and 7.56 to 8.09 for pH, 41150 to 43815, 41027 to 4601 and 40345 to 42215 mg/L for TDS, 0.05 to 0.24, 0.02 to 0.55 and 0.043 to 0.52 mg/L for TSS and 4.22 to 6.81, 3.27 to 6.26 and 4.21 to 5.44 mg/L for DO respectively.
- The Channel water reveals polyhaline estuary in winter season.
- The lowest DO and highest BOD5 was also found in 06 No Ghat (Jetty Ghat) due to presence of contaminated water
- The values of BOD5 and TDS in Badarkhali Jetty Ghat and 06 No Ghat (Jetty Ghat) were crossed the limit of tolerance level of the norms
- The water quality of 06 No Ghat (Jetty Ghat) is highly polluted, Badarkhali Jetty Ghat is polluted and mid-Channel water is slightly polluted.
