Gulshan Ara Latifa Keywords: Diversity, Fishes, Relative Abundance, Haor, Habitat. Department of Zoology, University of Dhaka, Dhaka- Introduction 1000, Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a densely populated country of 147 570 km2 with a population of 130 million people. It is fortunate in having an extensive water resources in the form of ponds, natural depressions (haors and heels ), lakes, canals, rivers and estuaries covering an area of 4.56 million ha (DOF, 2005) [4]. The haors, baors, beels and jheels are of fluvial origin and they are commonly identified as freshwater wetlands. These freshwater wetlands occupy four landscape units - floodplains, freshwater marshes, lakes and swamp forests. Approximately 2 there are 411 haors about an area of 8000 km have dispersed in the districts of Sunamgonj, Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Hobigonj, Netrokona and Kishoreganj. FAO (2005) [5]. Ranked Bangladesh as sixth largest aquaculture producing country with its estimated production of 856 956 tonnes in 2003. Aquaculture accounted for about 43.5 percent of the total fish production during 2003-2004, with inland open water fisheries contributed [4] 34.8 percent (DOF, 2005) . The Haor, Baors and Beels play an important role in the ecology, economy and livelihood of the country. The life and livelihood of Bangladesh is dependent on the wetlands. The vast water bodies of Haors are the source of fisheries, aquatic vegetations and other freshwater biodiversity, irrigation, navigation and flood control etc. The first scientific account of freshwater fish fauna of Bangladesh began with the work of [6] [10] Hamilton (1822) . Recently, Rahman (2005) . Has made significant contribution on freshwater fishes and recorded 265 species of fish under 55 families from Bangladesh. A number of other workers also have described freshwater fish fauna from different parts of the country. Siddiqui et al. (2007) [12]. Have described 251 species of freshwater fishes under 61 families from Bangladesh. Islam et al. (2008) [8]. Have recorded 108 species under 29 families [3] of 10 orders from Tanguar Haor. Chandra (2009) . Has listed 139 species of fishes both exotic and indigenous origin belonging 34 families and 87 genera in some selected district in Bangladesh.

  • The Use of Fish and Herptiles in Traditional Folk Therapies in Three
    Altaf et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2020) 16:38 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-020-00379-z RESEARCH Open Access The use of fish and herptiles in traditional folk therapies in three districts of Chenab riverine area in Punjab, Pakistan Muhammad Altaf1* , Arshad Mehmood Abbasi2*, Muhammad Umair3, Muhammad Shoaib Amjad4, Kinza Irshad2 and Abdul Majid Khan5 Abstract Background: Like botanical taxa, various species of animals are also used in traditional and modern health care systems. Present study was intended with the aim to document the traditional uses of herptile and fish species among the local communities in the vicinity of the River Chenab, Punjab Pakistan. Method: Data collected by semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were subsequently analyzed using relative frequency of citation (FC), fidelity level (FL), relative popularity level (RPL), similarity index (SI), and rank order priority (ROP) indices. Results: Out of total 81 reported species, ethnomedicinal uses of eight herptiles viz. Aspideretes gangeticus, A. hurum, Eublepharis macularius, Varanus bengalensis, Python molurus, Eryx johnii, Ptyas mucosus mucosus, Daboia russelii russelii and five fish species including Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Cirrhinus reba, Labeo dero, Mastacembelus armatus, and Pethia ticto were reported for the first time from this region. Fat, flesh, brain, and skin were among the commonly utilized body parts to treat allergy, cardiovascular, nervous and respiratory disorders, sexual impotency, skin infections, and as antidote and anti-diabetic agents. Hoplobatrachus tigerinus, Duttaphrynus stomaticus, and Ptyas mucosus mucosus (herptiles), as well as Labeo rohita, Wallago attu, and Cirrhinus reba (fish) were top ranked with maximum informant reports, frequency of citations, and rank order priority.

It is a contracted form of biological diversity encompassing the variety of all forms on the earth. It is identified as the variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes of which they are part including diversity between species and ecosystems.

ABSTRACT Present investigation reveals the existing fish fauna and their distribution pattern in the Tinau River, Western Nepal. A total of 35 species belonging to 25 genera, 12 families and 5 orders are recorded. Among collected fish species, Cyprinidae family was dominant constituting 81.73% of the total, followed by Cobitidae constituting 11.24% of the total collection. Physico-chemical and biological parameters of water were analysed to determine distribution, abundance and frequency of ichthyofauna. Chemical nature of water was found to be suitable with well-oxygenated and slightly alkaline pH range.
