No results found.Coastal fisheries of Bangladesh have been described with reference to location, area and physicochemical characteristics of coastal water, potential fishing grounds, extent of standing stock, yield, species composition, method of exploitation, fishing efforts, methodology of stock assessment and catch statistics with reference to vessels, gear and time. Coastal area of Bangladesh is 37,000 km2 lying between Lat. 20.4ºN and 22.0ºN,and Long. 89ºE, which is no deeper than 50 m. Potential fishing grounds as have been charted by a resource survey are (i) South Patches (20.8ºN - 21.4ºN and 90ºE - 91 ºE), (ii) Middle Ground (20.82ºN - 21.65ºN and 91ºE - 91.8ºE), (iii) Swatch of no ground (21.0ºN - 21.6ºN and 89.0ºE - 91ºE). The standing stock of the Bangladesh continental shelf has been estimated to be 552,500 tons (318,500 tons demersal fish, 200,000 tons pelagic fish, 9000 tons crustaceans and 25,000 tons others). Annual yield from the coastal waters has been estimated at 100,000 tons c omprising 475 species of finfish and 25 species of shrimps. Of the total yield, 95% comes from small scale fishing and the rest from trawl catch. Dominant species of the catch by groups are catfish, Indian salmon, Bombay duck, shark and skates, jew-fish and eels. A total of 45,200 indigenous fishing boats and 1156 mechanised fishing boats are operated in the coastal belt of Bangladesh by about 156,000 fishermen directly engaged and 92,000 fishermen indirectly engaged in fishing. At present 17 tr awlers are being operated by BFDC and 75 trawlers under joint venture with Thailand. -

No results found.The consultation reviewed the current knowledge on exploited coastal fishery resources in the Bay of Bengal region. It considered the possibilities for further development and tile need for proper management of the stocks which are fully exploited. It also considered the organisational set-up for collecting and processing catch statistics, and identified the problems and the priority areas of action relating to stock assessment. In countries bordering the western part of the Bay of Bengal, the re is a clear scope for increasing production. These increases may, however, be achieved initially only in certain pockets. This situation contrasts with that on the eastern seaboard of the Bay of Bengal, where the fishery resources are heavily exploited. The organisational set-up to collect the catch data required for stock assessment has to be strengthened considerably in some countries, whereas in others certain modifications or refinements are necessary in the methodology of data collectio n. With some exceptions, stock assessment studies employing statistical models have not been generally attempted in the region, either because of low priority or because of lack of data and expertise. Estimates of potential yield have been largely based on various assumptions, the validity of which require to be carefully examined. Development of stock assessment models to suit tropical multispecies fisheries; comparative studies of estimates obtained by different methods of resource evaluatio n; compilation of published information on fishery biology and potential yield from both exploited and exploitable stocks for critical evaluation and interpretation -all these were steps considered necessary for estimating the abundance of coastal fishery resources -

No results found.This report provides a summary of the presentations, panel statements and working group discussions of the Global Conference on Small-Scale Fisheries ¿ Securing sustainable small-scale fisheries: Bringing together responsible fisheries and social development, Bangkok, Thailand, 13¿ 17 October 2008. The conference reinforced the claim that small-scale fisheries have yet to fully realize their potential to significantly contribute to sustainable development and the attaining of the Unite d Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It identified several critical ways forward in securing sustainable small-scale fisheries that integrate social, cultural and economic development, address resource access and use rights issues guided by human rights principles, and recognize the rights of indigenous peoples.
