“…However the study of Ali et al (2015) suggested that, fishermen were used gill net, cast net, fixed purse net, seine net, dip net, lift net and drag/ push net for fishing activity in Lohalia River in Patuakhali. Some other studies were also found similar types of fishing gears, for instance, Bay of Bengal (Haque et al, 2021), Surma River, Sylhet district (Mia et al, 2018), Ashura beel, Dinajpur (Ferdoushi et al, 2018), and Hatiya Island (Azam et al, 2014). During monsoon when water level increased the use of all types of gears was also increased simultaneously.…”

The present study was conducted to know the biodiversity status and assess the existing livelihood conditions of the fishers of Habullah Baor at Bagherpara upazila, Jashore district from November 2017 to April 2018. Sixty fishermen were randomly selected for collecting data through a semi structured questionnaire. The current study discovered that there were 11 different fish species from six orders and seven families in the Habullah baor. All of the sampled fishermen were Hindu. About 25% of the fishermen was young aged, majority was middle aged and 25% was old aged group. A total of 75% of the fishermen had nuclear family and 25% families lived in joint family. Among the fishermen 85% had a few decimal of cultivable land and 15% were truly landless. Annual income of the respondents varied from 30,000 to 70,000 BDT with an average of 42,833 BDT. All fishers had access to drinking water from tube wells. Most of the fishers lived in katcha houses. About 15% of the fishers enjoyed electricity facilities in their home. Among the fishermen investigated, majority had earthen latrine, 20% used tin shed latrine, 8% used concrete latrine and a few of them 10% had no latrine. There were no modern medical facilities in the villages. The respondents had no alternate income sources during the dry season and at the time of ban period. The fishers as a whole are leading measurable life due to great financial hardship. Proper conservation and management measures can be taken to enhance the availability of fish fauna in Habullah baor, so that, the fishermen can harvest ample fish on sustainable basis. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. 2022, 8 (3), 165-180

“…The latest iteration of seabass aquaculture in Bangladesh In Bangladesh's coastal region, seabass cultivation in freshwater ponds and cage culture in rivers and estuaries has started. Larvae fry, and fingerlings of seabass are collected with different kinds of nets, such as set bag nets and small mosquito nets (Haque et al, 2021;Azam et al, 2014;Siddik et al, 2016c) in the river estuaries, rivers, and pastures along the coasts of Khulna, Patuakhali, Barisal, Satkhira, and Cox's Bazar districts of Bangladesh.…”

Since the high market value of seabass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1970), mainly found in Bangladesh's coastal waters and tidal rivers of Bangladesh, farmers in those areas cultivate it alongside carp fish in ponds and shrimp farms. Even though farming began many years ago, progress in overcoming obstacles of only natural sources for hatchlings, supplemental feeding, and knowledge on advanced farming management in seabass farming at the field level has been prolonged. This study discusses the current farming and trading of seabass in Bangladesh's coastal districts. Seabass fry is collected from rivers and estuarine areas, grown in hatcheries or ponds, and sold to farmers in large sizes. Some farmers cultivate this fry in mixed fish culture ponds in the extensive method; some farmers cultivate them with carp fish in a semi-intensive method. Seabass feeds only live feed (Tilapia and carp fishes fry); continuous supply is difficult and expensive. In these ponds, seabass is cultivated in the traditional method in 18–20 months, weighing 7-8 kg, and in the advanced traditional method in 1 year, weighing 2-3 kg. The profit percentage of seabass farming with the semi-intensive method is 77.42%. To expand this profitable fish farming, it is crucial to acclimate the fish to induced breeding and supplemental food. The institutions involved should not work in isolation but rather collaborate on developing induced breeding techniques and expanding seabass farming. In this case, prosperous seabass farming countries' experience can be applied. Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. Tech. 12(2): 117-125, December 2022

“…The study of Mia et al (2018) discovered 16 types of fishing gears from Surma River Sylhet, some other studies such as, 30 fishing gears from Chalan Beel (Sultana and Islam, 2016), 28 fishing gears from Ashura beel, Dinajpur (Ferdoushi et al, 2018) were identified for catching fishes. Whereas 10 fishing gears were used to catch Asian seabass at the coastal area of Bangladesh (Haque et al, 2021).…”

Oxbow lake is one of the significant freshwater fisheries assets in Bangladesh, which supports livelihood of fishermen community. This study was conducted to assess the fish biodiversity and socio-economic conditions of fishermen in Jhapa baor (oxbow lake) at Manirampur upazilla in Jashore district from July to September 2019. This investigation used primary data, collected through household interviews, key informant or cross-checked interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGDs) as well as secondary data. Fish fauna were identified based on their morphometric and meristic characters. After identification, fish species were systematically classified. A total of 43 species belonged to 11 orders and 17 families were identified from the baor. A total of five types of nets, three types of fish traps and four types of wounding gears were found during the survey. Furthermore, results of this study didn't show improved socio-economic conditions of the baor fisheries dependent families. Their income was less than the national average. Almost 50% of the households had up to 4 family members. Most family had single earning member. Most didn't have land aside from residence and their houses were earthen made. Although most of them had access to safe drinking water, few had access to quality health services and sanitary latrine. Their education levels were low about 70% fishers had no or beneath primary level education. Although currently the majority of their children were school going (72%) and the percentage is increasing gradually. Almost 65% of fishing community was involved with credit organization. This study will provide the baseline information about biodiversity and livelihood status of fishermen in Jhapa baor. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. 2022, 8 (4), 194-215
