- W2890871968 abstract "The structure and function of food web of Hooghly-Matla estuarine system (HMES) including Sundarban mangroves is studied to assess the health of the system. HMES, provides shelter and make a home to many economically important shell and fin fishes. This estuary is exposed to various threats such as increasing salinity, deterioration of soil fertility and productivity, pollution and loss of biodiversity. Ecological network analysis (ENA) is applied for the HMES to model the trophic flows in 22 ecological compartments using Ecopath (a software for network analysis), integrating ecological data for the 2013–2015. ENA is performed, including a set of indices, keystoneness and trophic spectrum analysis to describe the contribution of the 22 groups to the HMES functioning. Results show that 22 compartments of the HMES including primary producers (trophic level TL 1) to the top consumers (elasmobranch, TL 3.5), the ecotrophic efficiency ranges from 0.016 to 0.989. Small demersal fishes, prawns, shrimps and crabs are the most exploited groups of this ecosystem. Herbivory and detritivory ratio is 1:1 indicating relative absence of top predators and low maturation level. Maturity of the system, organization, relative order and disorder within the system, diversity of flow of material among compartments and overhead of the system has been assessed. Biomass over Total system throughput ratio (TB/TST), Total primary production over total respiration ratio (TPP/TR), Total primary production over biomass (TPP/TB) and system omnivory index (SOI) indicate the moderate maturity level of the system. The HMES trophic network has a moderate recycling level (FCI = 12.99%), a high total system throughput (TST = 22976.03 tonnes km−2 yr−1) and a low ascendency (A = 25799 tonnes km−2 yr−1), but a relatively low connectance (CI = 0.27), high internal relative ascendency (A = 29.6%) and a high omnivory index (OI = 0.203), indicating that this estuary is immature but relatively organized and complex, with strong production. HMES has some unique features in comparison to similar functioning geographically close estuaries or estuaries with similar environmental characteristics. System robustness and exergy are also estimated to assess ecosystem health and compared with other tropical systems. From a holistic point of view, present study conveys fundamental information and categorizes the status of the system." @default.
