The present study describes the length–weight (LWR) and length–length (LLR) relationships for eight important small indigenous fish species (SIS) from the Mathabhanga River, southwestern Bangladesh, namely Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton, 1822), Channa punctata (Bloch, 1793), Hyporamphus quoi (Valen...

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are one of the principal threats to freshwater biodiversity. Exclusion barriers are increasingly being used as a management strategy to control the spread of AIS. However, exclusion barriers can also impact native organisms and their effectiveness is likely to be conte...

Production of three Indian major carps, catla Catla catla, rohu Labeo rohita and kalbaush L. calbasu, in a periphyton-based polyculture system was compared. Bamboo poles, approximating a submerged surface area equal to the total pond surface area, were used as substrates for periphyton and were plan...

Size spectrum models have emerged from 40 years of basic research on how body size determines individual physiology and structures marine communities. They are based on commonly accepted assumptions and have a low parameter set, making them easy to deploy for strategic ecosystem-oriented impact asse...

We examined the influence of addition of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and artificial feed in rohu (Labeo rohita) ponds. We analyzed the relationships among four datasets on different components of the pond food web (water quality, food availability, natural food intake, and fish growth and producti...

A polyculture trial was conducted in earthen ponds in Bangladesh to compare traditional aquaculture techniques (fertilization only or fertilization plus feeding) with a combination of the same techniques and periphyton substrates. Three substrates (bamboo, jutestick and bamboo side shoot) were teste...

Summary 1. Identifying the existence of short or narrow range endemic species is an important issue when planning for conservation of groundwater fauna in the face of threats to groundwater quantity and quality. 2. Fourteen bores were sampled six times over 3 or 4 years to assess the reliability of ...

Fish plays an important role in the Bangladeshi diet, constituting the main animal food in rural households. Fish consumption is dominated by wild small (length<25 cm) indigenous fish species (SIS). A study was conducted to evaluate the dietary contribution of vitamin A and calcium from fish in rura...

Abstract. The fry of four species of planktivorous carp, silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Valenciennes), bighead carp, Aristichthys nobilis (Richardson), rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton), and catla, Catla catla (Hamilton), were grown in monoculture in ponds in Mymensingh, Bangladesh in order t...

Understanding a wider range of genotype-phenotype associations can be achieved through ecological and evolutionary studies of traditional laboratory models. Here, we conducted the first large-scale geographic analysis of genetic variation within and among wild zebrafish (Danio rerio) populations occ...

The diet of zebrafish Danio rerio in Bangladesh consisted primarily of zooplankton and insects. Zebrafish was an annual species, with the main period of reproduction commencing just before the onset of the monsoon season. Growth rates varied with age and season, with the period of most rapid growth ...

River Choto Jamuna is an important and well-known river in north-west Bangladesh in terms of fish production and source of income for many fishermen living beside where this study has been conducted from January to December, 2012. This study revealed the existing fish species and their composition a...

Freshwater mussels (Unionida) are globally endangered but perform crucial ecosystem services in temperate ecosystems. Their status and role in tropical regions are poorly understood, resulting in a nearly complete lack of effort toward their conservation. Understanding mussel functions in developing...

The effects of introduction of common carp, Cyprinus carpio (L.). in polyculture with major Indian carps and silver carp were studied in fertilized and fed earthen ponds in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Bottom-dwelling common carp were found to exert an influence on the quality and quantity of planktonic ...
