“…weight relationships (LWRs) represent pivotal metrics, enabling an exploration of how a fish's weight varies in relation to its length. This relationship serves as a valuable lens through which to assess the overall health and growth patterns of fish population, contributing to our understanding of their ecological dynamics (Yamamoto et al, 2006;Ullah and Mredul, 2022;Manon et al, 2023). LWRs are particularly instrumental for evaluating diverse factors, including nutrition, habitat quality, and the potential impact of environmental stressors on a fish's condition (Froese, 2006).…”

Hilsa shad, Tenualosa ilisha, a cherished and economically vital species, thrives in the waters of Bangladesh. It holds a prominent role in bolstering the nation's food security and influencing the ecological dynamics of aquatic ecosystems along the Bangladeshi coast and estuaries. This comprehensive study encompasses data collection efforts on the Hilsa fish species, conducted at 12 commercial landing centers throughout Bangladesh over the course of 2020. The study describes some fundamental components, including length frequency distribution, length-weight relationships, and condition factors, offers invaluable insights into the growth, health, and overall well-being of Hilsa population. Notably, the length-weight relationship analysis revealed size ranges of 11.5-59.2 cm and 11.0-49.0 cm total length for females and males, respectively. The observed b values indicated positive allometric growth (b > 3.00) for female population and negative allometric growth (b < 3.00) for male population in the length-weight relationship. Among the condition factors scrutinized, Fulton's condition factor emerged as the most reliable indicator for assessing the health and condition of the Hilsa population. This study offers valuable insights for biologists, aiding in the assessment of the species' status and providing essential information for fishery biologists and conservation biologists. Such insights are instrumental in the management and ultimate conservation of this iconic species in Bangladesh.

Due to having high market demand and consumer preference, four varieties of Anabas testudineus (indigenous, Thai, Thai‐Vietnam, and Vietnamese) have been extensively cultured in Bangladesh over the last few decades. But high similarities in their morphometric traits make population differentiation difficult. The present study used phenotypic markers for their discrimination based on traditional morphometry and truss network measurement. We conducted a study of morphometric variability through the traditional morphometry and truss network systems based on 120 specimens of four varieties of A. testudineus cultured in a coastal region of Bangladesh. Significant (p < 0.05) variation was observed in the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for all the measured traits. In each of the truss network and morphometric measurements, three discriminant functions (DF) were found with 100% variability, which accounted for 89.7% and 65.7% for DF1; 9.7% and 25.7% for DF2 and 0.6% and 8.7% for DF3, respectively. In principal component analysis (PCA), four PCs were observed for traditional morphometry with a total variance of 97.44%, while in the truss network system, the total variance was 98.53% in five PCs. Overall, the investigation found four distinct stocks for indigenous, Thai, Thai × Vietnamese and Vietnamese varieties. The outcomes of this study might be useful for differentiating these four varieties of climbing perch population, genetic study, management and conservation of this fishery at home and abroad.
