Comparative performance, combustion and emission evaluated di-diesel engine using methyl ester Jatropha oil and animal fat oil (Pork fat oil)

Abstract :

Gastropods with 6 spires namely Pila globosa, Pila virens, and Pila scutata; Ballamia sp., Ballamia dissimilis and Lymnaea sp with 7 spires; Indoplanorbis sp with 5 spires; and Thiara sp with 11 spires were the mostly preferred prey species by the Asian Openbill Stork. The preference of the Asian Open bill Storks to gastropods with more number of spires indicates that they select medium or larger sized ones. The mean shell length of the gastrodpods eaten was 2.22 ± 0.74cm and that of the bivalves 6.07 ± 1.60cm. Asian Openbill Stork showed a preference to pale brown coloured snails (53%) and brown coloured bivalves for feeding.
