“…agricultural cultivations. Therefore, many rice farmers are converting their fields into fish culture ponds (Islam et al, 2002;Islam et al, 2017). A large number of people have improved their socioeconomic conditions through fish farming activities in Bangladesh (Ara, 2005).…”

The present study was conducted to reveal the present scenario, problems and the prospect of fish farming of Gazipur Sadar upazila Bangladesh. The primary data were collected through field survey, questionnaire interview and focus group discussion from the fish farmers of several villages and urban areas of the upazila. Secondary data were collected from the Department of Fisheries and aquaculture extension section. Gazipur Sadar upazila has 14462.42 ha potential fisheries resources of which floodplains, seasonal water bodies, and ponds comprise 71.01%, 13.04%, and 8.57%, respectively. The total fish production of the upazila in 2016-17 was 14492.7 MT, 27% of the Gazipur district. The highest fish production of 5436 MT and 4.39 MT/ha/year came from the pond sector. Among different pond culture systems, the semi-intensive system had the highest fish production output (2826 MT). Exotic carps were the highest produced fish in the ponds. However, in spite of comprising a huge proportion of seasonal floodplains the fish production from this sector was only 0.42 MT/ha/year in 2016-2017. This indicates the poor utilization of inland open water resources for fish production in the study area. The major areas were identified to improve the existing pond fish farming situation were access to low-interest loan, quality seed, supply of advanced technologies, need-based training, and marketing facilities. Along with improving the pond fish farming, community-based fisheries management and some aquaculture initiatives on private own seasonal floodplains should be taken on a priority basis to improve open water management and to flourish inland fish production in the study area.Progressive Agriculture 29 (1): 53-63, 2018

“…In addition to domestic health issues, international demand, especially for seafood, e.g., Bangladeshi prawns, is also threatened due to the high rate of food contamination. EU buyers are rejecting many prawn consignments from Bangladesh because of the presence of banned nitrofuran and other hazardous chemicals [ 68 ], while asking for improved seafood safety procedures and trade traceability systems to ensure food safety [ 68 ].…”

“…As part of seafood safety measures, with the government’s help, the Bangladesh Frozen Food Exporters Association introduced paper-based traceability for prawns in 2009. However, in terms of documentation and data analysis, the initiative was unsuccessful [ 68 ]. In January 2016, they introduced an e-traceability system.…”

Consumers’ Preferences for the Traceability Information of Seafood Safety

Due to importing food and the perpetual changes from conventional wet markets to supermarkets in emerging markets, consumers have the opportunity to base their buying decisions on traceability systems. Seafood traceability systems involve information on production mode, inspection notes, sustainable sources, and sources of origin to provide consumer protection and help ensure that all seafood is safe to consume. This study aims to explore seafood markets by assessing the demand for traceability information attributes by utilising data from an experimental survey in an emerging market such as Bangladesh. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and a conditional logit model. The results demonstrate that consumers are concerned regarding vitamins, cholesterol, and preservatives, while they are little concerned about microbiological contamination, pesticide residues, genetic modification, and additives or artificial colours. The difference between the mean willingness to pay (WTP) for traditional and sustainable farmed fish is higher than that between the mean WTP for conventional and sustainable wild fish. In a ranked-choice voting system, the ‘production mode’ and ‘claim of safety control (e.g., being formalin-free)’ were the first and second most influential attributes in fish choices. The outcomes of the econometric model revealed that consumers are more likely to prefer traceability information about fish control (e.g., formalin-free), and they want to pay a price premium for this information. Alternatively, consumers are less likely to prefer farmed and imported fish, and their WTP for these fishes are highly inflated. This finding may be because consumers use wild and local origin as a cue for food safety or quality. This study hopes that the effects of such traceability information will optimise the production process and supply chain and help make seafood recall management more effective.

“…Among the different sources of fish collection, the highest amount of lipid was found from the fishes that were collected from processing plants than the super shops and local markets. This is because fish processing plants has to follow safety and quality standards to satisfy the international market like Hazards Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) (Naureen et al 2006), traceability (Islam et al 2017) for the quality of aquaculture raw materials. The lipid content in fish is not affected much if it is stored at -80 0 C, but lipid level could reduce 30-50% in one day if the sample is stored at room temperature (Meenakshi et al 2010).…”

The study was conducted to investigate the sensory quality and proximate composition of export oriented and locally consumed fishes collected from four fish processing plants, four super shops and four local fish markets of Bangladesh. Sample of Clarias batrachus, Amblypharyngodon mola, Ompok pabda, Labeo rohita and Anabas testudineus were subjected to sensory evaluation for color, odor, taste, flavor and texture characteristics by organoleptic method and proximate composition for nutritional quality assessment using standard AOAC methods. Sensory quality evaluation revealed that average defect points of fish samples collected from processing plants, super shops and local markets were between 1.40 to 1.57, 1.67 to 2.31 and 1.36 to 2.64 respectively, indicating excellent quality of samples collected from processing plants compared to good/acceptable quality for those collected from super shops and local markets. The study of proximate composition revealed that moisture ranged from 79.71±0.07% to 66.77±0.7%, crude protein 19.05±0.31% to 16.01±0.13%, crude lipid 10.41±0.02% to1.25±0.19% and ash 3.73±0.07% to 1.43±0.04% in different fish species collected from different sources. In conclusion, the organoleptic assessment and proximate composition of collected samples indicated that the fish samples of fish processing plants were of good condition for export and consumption. The fish samples from local fish markets and super shops were within the acceptable level but not as good as the fish samples of fish processing plants.
