“…Bamboo traps (standard 2 ft x 2.5 ft x 2 ft) with bait (small shrimps) are set up 8-10 feet intervals at peripheral dikes. In case of less catch by Gai, trap method, cast net or seine net is used (Alam and Phillips, 2004;Mamun et al, 2020).…”

Rapid global population growth depleting finite terrestrial resources which directed towards sustainable utilization of the oceans. Blue economy is a macro-economy concept where eco-friendly innovations are applied for sustainable production of marine goods and services for social solvency. In this paper, global blue economy definition, blue economy potentials, resources, blue economy in fisheries and aquaculture sector, present shrimp cultivation status and blue economy of shrimp cultivation from Bangladesh perspectives have been reviewed. Potential blue economy sectors in Bangladesh are mariculture, deep sea fishing, biotechnology, marine energy, submarine cable connections etc. Blue economy resources are biological resources, government agencies, human resources, ports-harbors, vessels and submarines, in addition to remote sensing facilities. To embrace blue economy, fisheries and aquaculture should include technologies, such as big data analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence and precision aquaculture. Shrimp cultivation occurs in Khulna, Chittagong, Cox"s Bazar, Bhola regions mostly by traditional method. Shrimp pond management, culture practices, harvesting, grading, production, supply and future potential has been addressed. Shrimp production is increasing steadily. Blue economy of shrimp culture involves innovative solutions to settle down unsustainability issues. A conceptual framework addressing major challengaes and sustainable interventions has also been reported. Recommendations are directed to consider government policy declaration, public awareness, coordination among state agencies, establishing national marine data hub, supporting research and development, and employing more manpower, as well as regional and international collaborations.

“…Farms containing 1-5 ha, 6-10 ha and >10 ha area are considered as small, medium and big farms, respectively (Islam et al, 2005). Most farmers own small farms (Mamun et al, 2020). Height and width of dike vary from 0.4-1.2 m and 0.2-0.7, respectively.…”

A study was conducted at Dhopakhali union under Kachua upazila of Bagerhat district in Khulna division from December 2021 to February 2022, with a view to know the current practices of integrated rice–shrimp–prawn–white fish in gher farming system. It was found from this study that 80% farmers acquired experience on gher farming system, and 20% farmers had taken training from GOs, NGOs and other organizations. Among these 80% farmers, 33% farmers acquired their experience by self–study, and the remaining 67% gained experience from friends and neighbors. The average land size in the study area was 0.90 acre or 0.39 ha. The information was collected from 15 farmers with questionnaire interviews, which include the physical condition of the ghers, pre–stocking management, stocking management, post–stocking management, integrated gher farming, social condition of gher farmers, production and cost–benefits. No standard stocking densities were followed by the respondents in the study area and as a result, stocking density was varied from farmer to farmer. During the survey, the average stocking densities of shrimp and prawn were found to be 31,191 PL/ha and 12,686 PL/ha, respectively. The average annual cost of production was 3,47,965.60 BDT/ha in the integrated paddy + shrimp + prawn + white fish + vegetable farming systems. The average annual income was obtained to be 6,60,043.55 BDT/ha from the paddy + shrimp + prawn + white fish + vegetable farming system with a net profit of 3,12,977.94 BDT/ha and the cost–benefit ratio was obtained to be 1.0:1.9. The average annual cost was calculated to be 2,65,436.96 BDT/ha from the only integrated shrimp + prawn + white fish + vegetable without paddy in the gher management systems with an average annual income of 5,29,805.77 BDT/ha. Net profit was estimated to be 2,64,368.81 BDT/ha and the cost–benefit ratio was obtained to be 1.0:2.0 from the only shrimp + prawn + white fish + vegetable without paddy in the integrated gher farming systems. The yield of paddy per year was reported to be 8,034 kg/ha. In the study area, it was found that fish farmers did not have enough credit facilities and sufficient scientific knowledge on the integrated gher farming system. Therefore, they need appropriate training on aquaculture management as well as adequate funding opportunities to improve the gher farming system in a significant manner in commensurate with the national demands.
