The life-history traits of a fish species from a specific waterbody reflect the condition of the fish, the ecosystem and suitability of the waterbody for their survival (Khatun et al., 2019). The traits include the number, size and sex ratio of offspring, the timing of reproduction, age and dimension at maturity, as well as growth pattern and longevity since all the traits are interconnected. For the conservation and management of wild fishes, studies on life-history traits are basically carried out (Hossain, Hossen, Ahmed, et al., 2017;Sabbir et al., 2020). A necessary precursor to the advancement of trait-based studies in fish ecology is to development and exploration of large databases containing ecological and biological characteristics of species representing a diverse
