“…Prawns, on the other hand, were exported to other countries through processing plants. Similar complex marketing channels for fish and tiger shrimp have been observed in other studies (Ahamad et al, 2019;Al Mehedi et al, 2020;Haldar et al, 2020;Nadia et al, 2022).…”

This study investigated the production performance, household fish consumption, and commercial feasibility of prawn–carp–mola mixed gher farming system. Three treatments with different species compositions were compared: prawn + rohu, prawn + mola, and prawn + rohu + mola, each having different stocking densities. The results indicated that the integration of mola improved the utilization of feed protein by prawns. However, mola inclusion did not significantly affect the growth of prawn and rohu or the production system's cost. Mola inclusion led to a significant increase in the gross production, household consumption, and sale of mola, prawn, and rohu. It also increased gross returns, income above variable cost, and net returns to land, family labor, and management. In addition, the inclusion of mola significantly increased household consumption by increasing the intake of nutrient‐rich mola and overall fish consumption. This improvement in food consumption contributed to ensuring the nutritional requirements and food security of impoverished rural farmers, especially women and children. Consequently, the integration of small fish mola in prawn–carp gher farming systems is recommended as a beneficial practice for wider adoption, effectively addressing household nutrition security at the rural level and improving the livelihoods of farmers.

“…Entrepreneurship in fish marketing was of the least interest due to problems in transportation in the absence of insulated vehicles for fish transportation, the lack of separate fish markets, and the lack of a quality assurance plan (Joshi & Tiwari, 1999). The primary barriers to an efficient fish marketing system were insufficient drainage, a washing facility, live cages, an earthen floor, a lack of restrooms, the absence of an auction place, and the lack of mechanical weighing equipment (Nadia et. al., 2022).…”

The fish market is an active and complex industry that involves the purchasing and marketing of fish and related products. It is a crucial part of the comprehensive food system, providing a valuable source of protein and other essential nutrients to humans. The present study was carried out in the Nepalgunj sub-metropolitan city in Banke district, well known for fish varieties and traditional recipes. A total of 72 respondents including shopkeepers and workers from 25 shops were interviewed based on a semi-structured questionnaire, which included marketing structure, literacy of fish traders, knowledge of fish preservation and sanitation, resource preference, transportation system, demand & trade, and constraints of fish marketing. The study reported 14 fish species and one Penaeus species belonging to arthropods, also considered locally as a fish variety and imported to the Nepalgunj fish market as ‘Jhinggemachha’. The fish marketing system in Nepalgunj was reported poor and unsystematic in the lack of proper market infrastructure and facilities. The local government should develop a proper plan to monitor and improve the market hygiene and quality of products in the current fish marketing system.

Aims: This study aimed to assess the population dynamics of Gudusia chapra in Lake Kaptai, Bangladesh, utilizing FiSAT II software for comprehensive analysis. The key objective was to determine growth parameters, mortality rates, exploitation status, and length-weight relationships to inform policy. Study Design: The study employed a quantitative approach, utilizing length frequency data collected from Lake Kaptai. FiSAT II software facilitated the estimation of population dynamics parameters, employing the Von Bertalanffy growth equation and other relevant analyses. Place and Duration of Study: The research was conducted in Lake Kaptai, Bangladesh, focusing on the intricate aquatic ecosystem from November 2003 to October 2004. Data collection and analysis spanned an extensive duration, providing a robust understanding of the population dynamics of G. chapra. Methodology: FiSAT II software was utilized for population dynamics estimation, with a particular focus on growth parameters, mortality rates, and exploitation status using Von Bertalanffy growth equation. Length-weight relationships were also determined. Recruitment patterns were observed, and key indices, including the growth performance index calculated. Results: The estimated asymptotic length (L∞) and growth coefficient (K) of G. chapra were found to be 19.95 cm and 0.89 year-1 respectively. Natural mortality (M), fishing mortality (F) and total mortality (Z) rates were 1.85, 2.21 and 4.06 year-1 respectively. The exploitation rate (E) indicated overfishing, with a value of 0.54, which exceeded the optimum E (E=0.5). The growth performance index (φ´) of 2.54 was recorded, and the recruitment pattern occurred between April and July. Conclusion: The study concludes that G. chapra in Lake Kaptai is experiencing overfishing, as indicated by the elevated exploitation rate. Understanding the growth parameters and mortality rates is vital for sustainable fisheries management in the region. Implication: The findings have significant implications for fisheries management, highlighting the urgent need for measures to mitigate overfishing of G. chapra in Lake Kaptai. Implementing conservation strategies and monitoring recruitment patterns are crucial for ensuring the long-term sustainability of this important fish species.
