“…Only the traditional culture of seabass (Lates calcarifer) and mullet (Chelon subviridis) is being reported on a small-scale basis in shrimp and prawn ghers (modified rice field) that are connected with coastal rivers. Seabass and mullet fry are stocked into the ghers collected from the wild or they enter into the ghers during water filling from river (Hoq et al, 2014;Chakraborty, 2021;Mondal et al, 2021). Domestication and export oriented commercial culture of high-valued marine finfish species in coastal ponds/enclosures and marine cages have high potential to boost up fish production of Bangladesh (AftabUddin et al, 2021).…”

“…Marine fisheries products are the important export item in Bangladesh. Producing marine dry and dehydrated fish is a very common practice in the coastal regions and isolated coastal islands (Hoq et al, 2014). About 20% of the total marine catch is dried round the year and marketed in the UK, the US, the Middle East, and domestic markets (Hoq et al, 2014) (Roy et al, 2015).…”

Marine resources of Bangladesh are abundant, both in terms of huge sea area and its biological richness. The marine water area supports a large number of commercially important fin fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and seaweeds, offering significant economic potential due to their diversified use and high demand in the international market. Therefore, the current review comprehensively examines both the contribution and potentials of marine fisheries resources to the economy, as well as the challenges involved in marine fisheries sectors in attaining a sustainable blue economy in Bangladesh. The study revealed that, the marine fisheries plays an important role in national economy and has huge prospect in employment generation and ensuring food security of Bangladesh. The expansion of mariculture and effective utilization of marine resources will open a new window for the economic development of Bangladesh. Marine fisheries production of Bangladesh has increased over the last two decades, but its relative share in total fisheries production has declined. Despite being rich in marine living resources, commercial mariculture has been developed only for shrimp, prawn, and mud crab. Challenges hindering mariculture expansion includes limited research, technological deficiencies, inadequate skilled workforce, underdeveloped domestic seafood markets, and financial constraints. Concerted efforts including exploring new fishing grounds, conducting stock assessments, implementing scientific management strategies, enacting a national marine fisheries policy, enforcing legislation, and establishing robust surveillance and monitoring mechanisms are required to foster a sustainable blue economy in Bangladesh.
