A STUDY ON THE PRODUCTIVE CONSERVATION OF SMALL INDIGENOUS FISH SPECIES (SIS) OF BANGLADESH ADAPTED FOR DEGRADED NATURAL WATER BODIES (Pages : 23 - 28)

A research program was conducted on the Productive Conservation of Small Indigenous Fish Species (SIS) of Bangladesh Adapted for Degraded Natural Water Bodies. The work was done following a technical procedure of direct field investigation in the project districts, Upazila and local floodplain pond and rivers systems with the objective to know the status of SIS and biotic problems to be solved for successful implementation of the project. The results showed that SIS fishes are now under serious threatened situation. More specifically several sp of pabda namely Modhu pabda and Baus nandina was going to be extinct rapidly followed by calibaus nandina and chanda-chapila varieties/strains. It was found that seasonal water body SIS fishes were going to be extinct rapidly (80%) than that of open water fishes (20%). Exploiratory harvesting at extreme exhaustion played the important role followed by use of micro-fiber single thread net and lack of appropriate shelter/place. The problems were quantitatively assessed and conclusions were made accordingly to improve the situation. However, more field oriented works need to be done to contribute in future development plans.Download
