“…Individuals of L. guntea <4.7 cm TL were not sampled during the current study because of one or more of several issues, including a one-sided selection of fishing gear (Khatun et al, 2019;Rahman et al, 2019;Saha, Rakib, et al, 2021), the fishers not going to the locations of the smaller fish (<4.7 cm) (Azad et al, 2018;Khatun et al, 2018Khatun et al, , 2019Saha, Rakib, et al, 2021), the lack of small individuals in the fishing grounds (Hossain, Hossen, Ali, et al, 2017; Hossain et al, 2015;Khatun et al, 2019), or perhaps because smaller fish were discarded by the fishers (Rahman et al, 2018;Saha, Rakib, et al, 2021). Further, the longest length of L. guntea within the Payra River was 10.5 cm, which is lower than the highest recorded estimation of 15.0 cm (Froese & Pauly, 2021).…”
