“…The coastal rivers and estuaries are regarded the most productive ecosystems for fisheries resources across the globe (Chaklader, Siddik, Hanif, & Nahar, Mahmud, et al., ; Mandal, Mukherjee, & Banerjee, ; Siddik, Chaklader, Hanif, Islam, & Fotedar, ). The southern coastal waters of Bangladesh are rich in fisheries (Chaklader, Siddik, & Nahar, ; Hanif, Siddik, Chaklader, Nahar, & Mahmud, ; Hanif, Siddik, Nahar, Chaklader, & Fotedar, ; Siddik et al., ) and the Payra River is one of the fisheries biodiversity hotspots in the southern coastal region of Bangladesh (Chaklader, Siddik, Hanif, & Nahar, ).…”

Summary The present study estimated the length–weight relationship (LWR) and length‐length relationships (LLR) of four fish species, Ompok pabo (Hamilton, 1822), Acentrogobius cyanomos (Bleeker, 1849), Acentrogobius caninus (Valenciennes, 1837) and Gagata cenia (Hamilton, 1822) collected from the Payra river over a period of 1 year between July 2015–June 2016 using set bag nets and cast nets with a mesh size of 0.5 cm and <0.5 cm, respectively. Altogether 593 individuals of O. pabo (59), A. cyanomos (221), A. caninus (240) and G. cenia (73) were sampled and studied. LWRs of O. pabo, A. cyanomos, and A. caninus are presented for the first time in Fishbase.

“…In Bangladesh, the southern coastal waters are rich in fisheries, with predominantly brackish water. These waters provide turbid habitats, which provide juvenile fish with abundant food (Hanif, Siddik, Chaklader, Nahar, & Mahmud, ; Siddik, Hanif, Chaklader, Nahar, & Mahmud, ), as well as some refuge from predation (Mandal et al., ). However, in this vast area the LWR data for many species are not recorded in FishBase (Froese & Pauly, ) due to lack of economic importance and commercial value in large‐scale fisheries.…”

Length-weight relationships of four fish species from a coastal artisanal fishery, southern Bangladesh

Summary This study presents the first report of length–weight relationships (LWRs) for Apocryptes bato (Hamilton, 1822), Salmophasia phulo (Hamilton, 1822), and Silonia silondia (Hamilton, 1822), excluding Anodontostoma chacunda (Hamilton, 1822), from fishermen's catches landed in a coastal artisanal fishery at Patuakhali, Southern Bangladesh. Specimens were sampled occasionally over a period of 1 year between August 2014 and September 2015. Fishes were collected from coastal fishermen using cast nets (mesh size <0.5 cm) for A. bato, set bag nets (mesh size 0.5 cm) for A. chacunda and S. silondia, and lift nets (mesh size <0.5 cm) for S. phulo. The LWRs obtained were W = 0.006L2.99, (r2) = 0.976, W = 0.011L3.04, (r2) = 0.971, W = 0.006L3.00, (r2) = 0.945 and W = 0.007L2.99, (r2) = 0.988 for A. bato, A. chacunda, S. phulo, and S. silondia, respectively.

“…We noted that water temperature was the prime important factor in shaping the temporal and spatial distribution of the ichthyofauna. Mandal et al (2013) studied ichthyofaunal diversity in a mangrove-based estuary of the Sundarbans mangrove forest, India. They noted the occurrence of about 267 species of fishes.…”

Finfish diversity and seasonal abundance in the largest arid mangrove forest of the Indus Delta, Northern Arabian Sea

2016

Finfish composition and seasonal abundance was studied in the world largest arid mangrove ecosystem of the Indus Delta, Pakistan. Sampling was done from February 2010 to July 2011 in a narrow creek with thick mangrove forest and in a wide creek with sporadic patches of mangrove forest along its banks. The sampling revealed 84 fish species, corresponding to 2,274 individuals in 60 genera and 29 families, weighing a total of 217 kg. A minimum of 8 species were recorded in December 2010 while a maximum of 32 species were recorded in April 2010 (average 21 ± 5.8). The most speciose families were the Mugilidae (9) followed bythe Sciaenidae (8) and the Ariidae (7), the remaining 26 families being represented by 1-5 species. The average sizes of 28 dominant species in the collection ranged from 76.9 to 284.6 mm (SL), consisting mostly of juveniles. Relative abundance (%) and relative biomass (%) of species was between 0.04 and 9.1 and 0.01-12.14, respectively. The Pearson correlation of 0.52 (r 2 0.27) was observed among the environmental parameters and found significant between temperature and dissolved oxygen (p < 0.03). The canonical correspondence analysis showed strong relationships of different salinity and temperature ranges with the diversity and biomass composition. The species occurrence frequency was 69% in the wide creek and 31% in the narrow creek. We conclude that the Indus Delta is a highly productive zone in terms of fish diversity, providing ideal habitat for a nursery rather than a fishing ground and propose it to be a marine protected area (MPA).
