On-board Breeding Trial of Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha, Ham. 1822) and Testing of Larval Rearing in Bangladesh

Impact Assessment of Twenty-Two Days Fishing Ban in the Major Spawning Grounds of Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822) on its Spawning Success in Bangladesh

“…Hilsa being the national fish of Bangladesh have great socioeconomic and nutritional value [10]. The 22 days fishing ban has been found very effective and fruitful in the context of successful spawning of Hilsa and production of Jatka in the major spawning ground.…”

Estimating peak breeding season, size at first maturity and variation in fecundity and egg-size at different sizes of Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha)

“…Therefore, this is important to determine if considering eggs from different parts of each ovarian lobe is necessary or samples from any a part of any lobes in each gonad would result in the same outcome. Although there are several published reports about Hilsa's artificial breeding [ [15] , [16] , [17] ], larval rearing and weaning of fry for the development of fingerlings [ 18 , 19 ], no work focused on inter- and intra-lobe variation in fecundity and egg size of Hilsa. Thus, it is essential to have insights into variation in fecundity and egg-size at different sizes of Hilsa.…”

Interplay between reproduction and age selective harvesting delays of a single population non-autonomous system

“…During the first year, the growth is roughly at the rate of an inch per month [25]. The spawning of Hilsa is seasonal [5] and is observed during July-August to October-November [37]. It takes 8-9 months for hilsa to grow to 163-225 mm in size.…”
