The study focused on the cultural technique of fish farming in the study area. Data for the study was obtained from both primary and secondary sources through a public participation and stakeholders’ interview with the application of focus group discussion. The data collection for the research work was carried out within the period of 1^st to 31^st March 2023. Primarily, conservative qualitative method with snow-ball technique was applied and information was elicited from the respondents on technique of fish farming culture. The study revealed that technique of fish farming culture involves the use culturally believed norms of unsustainable age long intrinsic practice. Recommendation were made for the formulation of policy framework in connection to the cultural technique of fish farming and other related issues for the transformation and sustainability of the culture of fish farming in the study area.</p> Babagana Zanna Copyright (c) 2023 Babagana Zanna http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-02-01 2024-02-01 1 5 10.22159/ijls.2024.v12i1.48586 https://journals.innovareacademics.in/index.php/ijls/article/view/49713 <p><strong>Objective:</strong> Averrhoa carambola is known as a tree. Averrhoa carambola leaves are commonly used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine is used for inflammatory skin disorders and fungal skin infections. The leaves of star fruit are rich in Vitamin C and bioactive compounds such as phenols and flavonoids abundant sources of antioxidants.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> The qualitative phytochemical study of these plant extracts indicates the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, proteins, and phenol. The herb has been used traditionally from antiquity, in the treatment of neurological health, memory issues, and breast cancer. It chiefly possesses the pharmacological study.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Plant explains about antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, anticatalytic, and antiviral activities. The work is an endeavor to explore and assemble the various pharmacological action and pharmacognostic aspects of the leaves A. carambola reported to date.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The current research has shown that natural sources have therapeutic properties without much toxicity. This potential of plants is due to the presence of secondary metabolites. The results prove that A. carambola leaf extract has antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activity. In addition to this, the present investigation revealed that A. carambola leaf extract can act as a potential drug for treating breast cancer.</p> SRILEGA I KAVITHA M Copyright (c) 2023 SRILEGA I http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-02-01 2024-02-01 6 8 10.22159/ijls.2024.v12i1.49713
