Abstract Most of the international trade in fins (and likely meat too) is derived from requiem sharks (family Carcharhinidae), yet trade in only two of the 56 species is currently regulated. Here, we quantify catch, trade, and the shortfall in national and regional fisheries management (M‐Risk) for ...

This study describes the molecular characterization of marine and coastal fishes of Bangladesh based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene as a marker. A total of 376 mitochondrial COI barcode sequences were obtained from 185 species belonging to 146 genera, 74 families, 21 ...

Abstract Devil rays ( Mobula spp.) are globally threatened cartilaginous fishes that have attracted global conservation concern owing to their high extinction risk and lack of protection in many countries. Limited resources and data on threatened marine species, including devil rays, impede conserva...

Abstract Increasing fishing pressure has negatively impacted elasmobranch populations globally. Despite high levels of historical and current fishing pressure, the Bay of Bengal region remains data‐poor. Focusing on Bangladesh, we conducted a socio‐ecological study to characterize elasmobranch fishe...

Using mtDNA sequences of historical museum specimens, including the herein designated lectotype of Tetraonyx affinis Cantor 1847 and topotypic specimens of Trionyx (Tetraonyx) cuvieri Gray 1831 and Tetronyx longicollis Lesson 1834, we demonstrate that the name Batagur affinis (Cantor 1847) has to be...

(R-HAp). Acid-alkali treatment followed by high-temperature calcination was employed for HAp synthesis. XRD analysis indicated a monoclinic crystal structure for I-HAp and a hexagonal structure for R-HAp, with both containing β-TCP as a secondary phase. Rietveld refinement quantified β-TCP at 8% for...

The Assam Roofed Turtle, Pangshura sylhetensis is an endangered and least studied species endemic to India and Bangladesh. The present study decodes the first complete mitochondrial genome of P. sylhetensis (16,568 bp) by using next-generation sequencing. The assembly encodes 13 protein-coding genes...

Abstract Sawfishes are highly threatened globally, and current data on their conservation status in the Indian Ocean are limited. A baseline study conducted in 2011–2012 revealed that at least two species of sawfish were still present in Bangladeshi waters and highlighted several important steps tha...

Trade involving elasmobranch products in Bangladesh is a four-decade-long practice in large scale and there is little understanding of its impact on species composition, population, and subsequent conservation. Capacity for monitoring and identification is lacking in landing and shark processing cen...

Sardine Amblygaster clupeoides is a reef-associated oceanic species having long-standing socioeconomic and ecological importance along the coast of Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, but less is known about the morphometric variability of the species. To uncover this, morphometric variability of A. clupeoid...
