In this competitive world, objective scoring is essential to test our ability in different topics within a subject. This book “MCQ on Aquatic Environment” provides basic and advanced one word pertained to aquatic ecology, pollution management and regulations. This book aids students by serving as a practice tool to pre-test and identify areas needing further study. In this book, key questions about biodiversity in freshwater and marine ecosystems were highlighted. The various roles of soil and water in maintaining the aquatic productivity and how it influences the chemistry of aquatic environment were emphasized in the form of MCQ in this book. The study of inland water bodies is an important subject in the undergraduate programme of fisheries students. This area was elaborately covered with vital questions in this book. Water pollution is a major crisis that deteriorates the overall quality of aquatic ecosystem and its associated organisms. Significant questions related to pollution of water bodies, its types, mode of transfer, conservational measures and regulations were provided as a chapter in this book. In addition, this book covers questions about marine life, theory of wave, current formations in the chapter of meteorology and geography. Model questions were selectively taken from previous year competitive exams and compiled as a chapter at the end of this book. The authors hope that this MCQ book can encourage the students to actively engage with the material by considering different answer options and reasoning through the correct choice. We believe that this objective book will be useful for students to enlighten their existing knowledge in the field of aquatic environment.
