“…All of these numbers were counted based on photographic records. In the last few years, several reef fish species have been added to the country's marine fish inventory (Akash et al., 2021 ; Fuad et al., 2021 ; Habib & Islam, 2020 ; Habib, Islam, Nahar, Neiogi, & Fraser, 2021 ; Habib, Islam, Nahar, & Neogi, 2020 ; Habib, Islam, Nahar, Rashed, et al., 2021 ; Habib, Islam, Neogi, et al., 2020 ; Habib, Neogi, Islam, & Nahar, 2019 ; Islam et al., 2020 , 2021 ; Islam & Habib, 2020 ; Saha et al., 2018 , 2021 ; Sharifuzzaman, Fuad, et al., 2021 ; Sharifuzzaman, Rubby, et al., 2021 ; Siddiqueki et al., 2021 ). All of these species were identified based on morphological analysis.…”

This study employs the DNA barcoding approach to make a molecular taxonomic catalog of reef fishes of Saint Martin's Island (SMI), an ecologically critical area (ECA), and Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Bangladesh. DNA barcoding, along with morphological analysis, confirmed 84 reef‐associated fish species in SMI belonging to 16 orders, 39 families, and 67 genera. A total of 184 sequences were obtained in this study where 151 sequences (534–604 bp) of 81 species were identified from the COI barcode gene and 33 sequences (609 bp) of 19 species from the 16S rRNA gene region which were submitted to the GenBank and Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD). Among these sequences, 70 sequences of the COI gene and 16 sequences of 16S rRNA gene region from 41 species were submitted for the first time into the GenBank from Bangladesh. For molecular characterization analysis, another 37 sequences of 15 reef fish species of SMI were added from previous studies, making a total of 221 DNA sequences which comprised 179 sequences of 96 species for the COI gene and 42 sequences of 26 species for the 16S rRNA gene region. The COI sequences contain 145 haplotypes with 337 polymorphic sites, and the mean genetic distances within species, genera, and families were calculated as 0.34%, 12.26%, and 19.03%, respectively. On the contrary, 16S rRNA sequences comprised 31 haplotypes with 241 polymorphic sites, and the mean genetic divergences within species, genera, and families were 0.94%, 4.72%, and 12.43%, respectively. This study is a significant contribution to the marine biodiversity of Bangladesh which would facilitate the assessment of species diversity for strategizing management action. It is also an important input to the DNA barcode library of reef fishes of the northern Bay of Bengal.

“…Further, an album of coastal and marine fishes of Bangladesh has been published by Singha et al (2019) from DoF where 232 species of marine fishes were illustrated. Beside these major publications, a number of reports and scientific papers have been published on fish diversity with new distributional records, and also with new species to science from the marine waters of Bangladesh in different years, particularly in the decade 2010 to 2020 (Khan et al 2013, BOBLME 2014, Hossain et al 2015, Roy et al 2015, Baki et al 2017, Shamsunnahar et al 2017, Alam et al 2018, Haque and Hossain 2018, Habib et al 2018a,b, Kabir et al 2018, Saha et al 2018, Habib et al 2019, Hanif 2019, Akash et al 2020, Fuad et al 2020Islam andHabib 2020, Islam et al 2020a,b;Saha et al 2020, Siddik and Hanif 2020, Sarkar et al 2021). Thus, descriptions of various marine fishes of Bangladesh have remained scattered throughout a wide range of scientific publications.…”

A checklist of the marine fishes of Bangladesh is presented with their scientific, common andBangla or local names. The global IUCN Red List catagories of these species are also provided. Thisinventory of the marine fish species is compiled from different major and valid published scientific papers,reports and books published within last 50 years from 1970 to 2020. The directory covers a total of 740species belonging to 389 Genera of 145 Families and 30 Orders. Among the fish species, 53.38% areexclusively marine and 46.62% are found in both brackish and marine water. Besides, 296 species of fishesare reef associated and 204 of these are recorded from the Saint Martin’s Island. Further, 271 species ofbrakishwater and/or marine fishes are commonly observed in the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem and itsadjacent sea area. About 7% of the total marine fishes of Bangladesh are identified as threatened as per globalIUCN Red List. However, the conservation status of the marine fish species of Bangladesh has not yet beenassessed locally by IUCN which is essential. The updated checklist will constitute the reference inventory ofmarine fishes of the coastal and maritime area of the country.
