“…However, after declaration as a sanctuary, 35 (native 30 and 5 exotic species) species were found newly available in the sanctuary area. Retrieval of fisheries species was also reported by Joadder et al (2016) in Kumari Beel sanctuary (16 species) and Hasan et al (2012) in Matshyarani fish sanctuary (32 species). Recovery rate in the present study was the highest for the order Siluriformes (11) followed by Cypriniformes (10), Periciformes (5), Osteoglossiformes (2), Cyprinidontiformes (1) and Channiformes (1) ( Figure 2).…”

Fish sanctuary is a common tool for retrieving fisheries diversity in a threatened aquatic ecosystem. The present study highlighted a case study on sustainable management of Halti Beel tank sanctuary, Bangladesh (a part of Chalan Beel) established for the betterment of fisheries and fishermen community. The study was conducted for a period of 6 months from July to December 2017. Both primary and secondary data was used for a comparison before and after effects of Halti Beel tank sanctuary considering three parameters viz., fisheries diversity, production trends and socio-economic condition of fishermen community. During the study period, diversity in both native and exotic fish species (71) were increased where 62 species were native and 9 were exotic under 26 families of 11 orders. This number (71) was observed 97.22% higher than the number of species before declaring Halti Beel tank as fish sanctuary. Recovery rate was observed highest for the order Siluriformes (11) and the lowest for Channiformes (1). Cypriniformes was the most diversified order with 24 species (18 native and 6 exotic species). The observed data showed a dramatic increase in fish production from 8.77 to 37.50 metric ton within four fiscal years whereas the gradual production trend was recorded 10.12, 29.47, 35.10 and 37.50 metric ton, respectively in the year 2013-2014, 2014-2015, 2014-2015 and 2016-2017. The study was also showed a satisfactory improvement in financial and housing assets as socio-economic status of fishermen community involved in the management of Halti Beel tank sanctuary.

“…Cyprinidae represented a major contribution with large number of species in different open water bodies of Bangladesh (De et al, 2011) and south west Sunderbans, India (Giri et al, 2004;Mohan and Singh, 2004). Imteazzaman and Galib (2013), Siddiq et al, (2013), Joadder et al, (2016), Akhtaruzzaman and Alam (2014) also recorded Cyprinidae as the dominant family. The observed species were categorized into four statuses based on their availability and obtained as available (44.64%), seasonal (19.64%), rare (16.08%) and very rare (19.64%) presented in (Fig.…”

Beel is one of the ancient types and obviously a fascinating one due to its biodiversity and ecological importance in local and national perspective of Bangladesh. The Bhawal beel is one of important beels and excellent habitat for small indigenous species (SIS). The present status and decline causes of Bhawal beel was studied from March 2016 to February 2017. Data collection was carried out from four villages of Achim union under Fulbaria upazila. Questionnaire Interview (QI), Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and cross-check Interview were done to obtain data related to status and decline causes of fishes from the fishermen and resource person. A total of 56 species of fish including prawn under 10 orders and 23 families were recorded from thebeel. Cypriniformes (33.93%) was the most dominant order followed by Siluriformes (21.43%), Perciformes (19.65%), Channiformes (7.14%), Synbranchiformes (7.14%), Decapoda (3.58%), Cyprinodontiformes (1.78%), Osteoglossiformes (1.78%), Beloniformes (1.78%) and Tetraodontiformes (1.78%). Among the recorded families Cyprinidae was the most dominant family contributing 17 species. The availability status of observed species were remarked in four categories and obtained as available (44.64%), seasonal (19.64%), rare (16.08%) and very rare (19.64%). Decline causes like overfishing, use of illegal fishing gear, siltation, katha fishing, and abstraction of water for irrigation, catching of fry and brood fishes, lack of connection of beel with Banar river and absence of proper beel management policy were observed as major threats for fish diversity. About 13species were found threatened (1 critically endangered, 5 endangered and 7 vulnerable) which may extinct in near future due to proper management of the beel fishery. The present study recommends minimizing of all these impediments. Besides Community Based Fisheries Management (CBFM) and beel nurseryis essential to save the valuable fish diversity of Bhawal Beel on which local livelihood depends.

“…Flura et al [16] recorded 74 species under 21 families from Balla beel, Moulavibazar Bangladesh. Joadder et al [17] reported a total of 52 species of fish at Kumari beel in Rajshahi district of Bangladesh. Halim [27] accounted 59 species belonging to seventeen families under ten different order from 3 beels located in Atghoria upazilla under Pabna district of Bangldesh.…”

“…Many of the fishermen surrounding this beel are completely dependent their livelihood on this beel. Some studies have been made to evaluate the fish diversity in various region of Bangladesh by [8] in Uthrail Beel, [9] in Saldu beel, [10] in Chalan beel, [11] in Shakla beel , [12] in Chalan beel, [13] in Halti Beel, [14] in Dogger Beel, [15] in Ichanoi Beel, [16] in Balla beel, [17] in Kumari beel, [18] in Baikka beel, and [19] in wetlands of Chhatak. But, unfortunately there are no published scientific works on the diversity of fish in Bahadurpur beel under Madaripur district.…”

A study was carried out to study the fish diversity of Bahadurpur beel located at Madaripur sadar upazila under Madaripur district in Bangladesh during July to December 2018. During the study period, a total of 34 species under 24 genera, 16 families and 7 orders were recorded. The dominant order and family were cypriniformes and cyprinidae which comprised of 32.35% and 29.41% of total recorded fish respectively. Regarding the relative abundance of fish, very common, common and rear fish were 29.41%, 52.94% and 17.64% respectivel1y. On the other hand, 8 (24.24%) species were recorded as threatened fish. Among them, 5 (62.5%) and 3 (37.5%) were endangered and vulnerable respectively. No critically endangered species was recorded during the study period. Maximum abundance of fish was observed in November. Various types of nets, traps, wounding gears, hook and line were used as most common fishing gears to harvest the fish in Bahadurpur beel.
