“…Fish drying activities on the south-east coast vary considerably according to the weather conditions. Nevertheless, the negative impact of climate change is a severe concern at regional, national, and global levels, affecting most reclaims’ sustainability perspectives, including the aquatic environments, ecosystems, and the dependent societies [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. The economies and livelihoods of communities dealing with dried fish’s processing and trade are affected by climate variability.…”

The south-east coast, specifically the Cox’s Bazar region, of Bangladesh has achieved a tremendous impetus for producing a large volume of dried fish by involving thousands of marginalized coastal people. This study aimed to assess the socio-economic profile, livelihood strategies, and resilience of the communities engaged in fish drying on the south-east coast using a mixed-methods approach and an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The study’s findings revealed that communities involved in drying were socio-economically undeveloped due to their lower literacy, unstable incomes, and labor-intensive occupations. Apart from notable child labor employed in fish drying in Nazirertek, female workers had relatively higher participation than males. Nevertheless, the female workers had less control over their daily wages and reported working at USD 3.54–5.89 per day, which was relatively lower than male workers who received USD 4.15–8.31 per day. Through fish drying activities, very few workers, producers, and traders were found to be self-reliant. In contrast, the livelihoods of the workers were not as secure as the processors and traders. In addition to suffering from various shocks and constraints, dried fish processors and workers, dried fish traders, off-season income, an abundance of fish species, fish drying facilities, trader’s association, and social interrelationship played a significant role in maintaining community resilience. The study recommends appropriate interventions to alternative income diversification options, strong collaboration between communities, local authorities, and government for sustainable livelihoods and better community resilience.

“…Por lo anterior, cada país debe prepararse para responder a los impactos del cambio climático a través de reducir su vulnerabilidad (De Younge et al, 2012), puesto que ésta varía de región a región dependiendo de las zonas climáticas, áreas geográficas (tierra adentro o costeras), los tipos de sistemas acuícolas y las especies que se cultivan (Islam et al, 2019). Por lo tanto, es un pre-requisito entender los efectos del cambio climático sobre las respuestas biológicas, recursos y economía en la acuicultura.…”

La biotecnología acuícola se basa en el conocimiento generado por investigaciones científicas multidisciplinarias aplicadas a la producción de organismos acuáticos. Las enfermedades infecciosas, el cambio climático y la sostenibilidad, son los principales retos actuales de la acuicultura. En este trabajo se hace una revisión de las posibles soluciones biotecnológicas a estos retos, a través del mejoramiento de las dietas, del uso de nuevas tecnologías de análisis, como son las ciencias ómicas y finalmente se discute la integración de especies nativas a la acuicultura. Todas estas actividades, con políticas públicas adecuadas, promoverán el desarrollo de una acuicultura más rentable, sostenible y acorde con las condiciones regionales, garantizando la seguridad alimentaria.

“…Aqua medicine, drugs and chemicals (AMDC) are increasingly being used in aquatic animal health management in Bangladesh as aquaculture expands (Al-Asif et al, 2021;Alam and Haque, 2021;Diana et al, 2013;Shamsuzzaman and Biswas, 2012). Much of this development has been focused on districts like Cumilla, Feni, Chandpur, Noakhali, where commercial Tilapia and carp polyculture culture is gaining momentum (Adhikary et al, 2018a;Bayazid, 2016;Hossain et al, 2013;Islam et al, 2019;Pravakar et al, 2013;Ullah et al, 2020a). Muhuri is the largest fish farming project in Feni district, encompassing the districts of Feni Sadar, Sonagazi, Chhagalnaiya, and Parshuram in Feni and Mirersarai in Chittagong.…”

A broad variety of aquaculture-related medications, drugs, and chemicals (AMDC) are extensively used in the aquaculture industry in South-Eastern Bangladesh. Fish farmers are worried about the quality of their final product, and disease outbreaks must be stopped at all costs. Farmers are sometimes one ahead of the curve when it comes to producing healthy final products by including probiotics, vitamins, and minerals into their aquaculture setups to promote early and disease-free output. However, the current study was carried out in south eastern Bangladesh, specifically in the highly dense aquaculture regions of Chandpur, Cumilla, and Feni district (17 upazilas), from November 2016 to January 2018. Questions were asked through interviews and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held to gather primary data. The major target groups were aquaculture farmers, AMDC shops, pharmaceutical company employees, and hatchery owners. In this three-county area, according to the findings from the thorough research, there are a total of 33 companies that advertise 330 generics brand products via their own distributional channels. Among the available AMDC products in the study area, growth promoters were mostly abundant products among all categories while other products such as predator removal products, insecticides and ectoparasiticides, water quality and pond management, plankton producer, plankton bloom cleaner, disinfectant and disease treatment, toxic gas reducer, pH controller, oxygen supply, stress reducer, growth promoter, probiotics and antibiotics were most selling products to the farmers. The present study revealed 19 generic of antibiotics were available and prescribed by the AMDC vendors or aquaculture disease consultants (ADC) around the regions. Additionally, the research also included the dosages of AMDC and the method of administration in the aquaculture pond, which will assist both the farmers and the ADC in selecting and suggesting the appropriate medications or treatments that may be beneficial to the farmers in the long run.
