A study was conducted in November 2015 to assess the limnological and fisheries conditions of the Kushiyara river, Bangladesh. This study used laboratory techniques, face-to-face interviews and focus group discussions. This study collected water, phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthos from different sites of the river. It found that the water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids and sodium chloride of the Kushiyara river are within the standard level for sustaining aquatic life. In the current study, six phytoplankton groups of 19 genera and three groups of zooplankton (4 genera of Rotifers, 3 genera of Copepods and 5 genera of Cladoceras) are recorded. This indicates good ecological conditions of the river water. The current study also recorded 9 groups of benthos, indicating a stable environmental condition in the river for benthos. Diverse kinds of fishing gear were found to operate in this study. They were used to catch almost similar species of fishes using almost similar catching mechanism. The peak and lean seasons for fishing as well as the number, types, length and weight of species of fishes are observed. Overall this study found good water quality and rich biodiversity in the Kushiyara river.

“…Moreover, waste disposal and management system of the country is not adequate enough. Due to lack of proper monitoring, wastewater discharged from municipal and industrial sources is drained into nearby water bodies (Islam and Azam 2015 ; Islam and Huda 2016 ; Rahman and Islam 2016 ).…”

“…Water pollution is a common phenomenon of a developing country like India, and Bangladesh, where domestic and industrial wastes are dumped into rivers without treatment (Islam and Azam, 2015;Islam and Huda, 2016;Bodrud-Doza et al, 2020;Yunus et al, 2020). During the lockdown period, the major industrial sources of pollution have shrunk or completely stopped, which helped to reduce the pollution load (Yunus et al, 2020).…”

The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is affecting every part of human lives, including the physical world. The measures taken to control the spread of the virus and the slowdown of economic activities have significant effects on the environment. Therefore, this study intends to explore the positive and negative environmental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, by reviewing the available scientific literatures. This study indicates that, the pandemic situation significantly improves air quality in different cities across the world, reduces GHGs emission, lessens water pollution and noise, and reduces the pressure on the tourist destinations, which may assist with the restoration of the ecological system. In addition, there are also some negative consequences of COVID-19, such as increase of medical waste, haphazard use and disposal of disinfectants, mask, and gloves; and burden of untreated wastes continuously endangering the environment. It seems that, economic activities will return soon after the pandemic, and the situation might change. Hence, this study also outlines possible ways to achieve long-term environmental benefits. It is expected that the proper implementation of the proposed strategies might be helpful for the global environmental sustainability.
