Cephalopods are valuable in fisheries and are consumed as seafood in various cuisines around the world. A study was conducted to know the proximate compositions (protein, ash, fat, carbohydrate and moisture) and minerals (calcium, phosphorus and iron) of cephalopods (octopuses, squids, and cuttlefis...

Pufferfish is common in marine, brackish and freshwater habitats in Bangladesh. Pufferfish poisoning sporadically occurs due to the consumption of toxic pufferfish throughout the country. Identification of pufferfish is challenging and/or misleading, based on only morphometric characteristics. A stu...

An attempt has been made for molecular characterization of gastropods from three different ecological habitats (marine, freshwater and terrestrial) in Bangladesh. A total of eight species of gastropod (Lissachatina fulica, Pila globosa, Pila virens, Brotia costula, Nerita articulata, Nerita balteata...

This study confirmed the presence of triglid fish Lepidotrigla longimana Li, (1981) for the first time in Bangladesh waters. Four individuals of this species were collected from Cox's Bazar (21.77 N 91.62 E) on 5 October 2018 as bycatch. The species was taxonomically identified through the tradition...

Rays are an iconic group of chondrichthyan fishes, with many species currently threatened with extinction. Although conservation laws exist in Bangladesh to protect their population, lack of comprehensive law enforcement strategies together with commercial exploitation and habitat destruction result...

DNA barcoding has proven to be an effective alternative to traditional morphological methods for species identification. In this study, we employed a molecular approach to identify benthic fauna collected from the Andharmanik River estuary in Bangladesh. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I ...

This study describes some morphometric and molecular aspects of four species of hermit crabs (Clibanarius clibanarius, Clibanarius padavensis, Clibanarius infraspinatus, and Diogenes rectimanus) reported for the first time from Bangladesh. A total of 15 COI sequences were generated for these four sp...

Pufferfish is common in marine, brackish and freshwater habitats in Bangladesh. Pufferfish poisoning sporadically occurs due to the consumptions of toxic pufferfish throughout the country. A study was conducted for molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Bangladeshi pufferfish using ...
