  • Scale Marine Fishing in Bangladeshi
    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs. XVl, 2(December 1993): 51- 59 Research Note PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND PROFITABILITY OF SMALL- SCALE MARINE FISHING IN BANGLADESHI M. Serajul Islam Khandakar Qudrat - I Elahi. ABSTRACT This paper examines the profitability of three major production technologies used in small-scale marine fishing in Bangladesh: gillnet, longline and setbag net. Net profit was positive in all technologies. But the profitability does not differ significantly among gears as indicated by the benefit-cost ratio. 1. INTRODUCTION In Bangladesh, there are two sources of fisheries - inland and marine. The inland fisheries again include capture fishery and culture fishery. Of these sources, capture fishery is the most important because still the major share of fish production is contributed from this source. In 1991-92, 51%, 24% and 26% of total catch were obtained from capture fishery, culture fishery and marline fishery respectively (DOF, 1993). But it is alarming that production of inland open water capture fishery has declined because of, for example, overfishing, largescale sedimentation and implementation of flood control, drainage and irrigation development project (Ali 1991, World Bank 19r)1). On the other hand, the production of culture and marline fish has increased steadily during the last few years for which the total fish production has slightly increased in every successive year. However, there is good prospect and potentiality in culture fishery but expand fish production may also come from the marine source which has unexploited potential. Thus, in the present context, along with the culture fishery, more attention should be focused on marine fishery development, particularly the small-scale marine sector which accounts for 95% of total marine catch.

  • Range Extension and a Case for a Persistent Population of River Otters
    IUCN Otter Spec. Group Bull. 28(A) 2011 R E P O R T FISHING WITH OTTERS: A TRADITIONAL CONSERVATION PRACTICE IN BANGLADESH Mohammed Mostafa FEEROZ, Sajeda BEGUM, Md. Kamrul HASAN Dept. of Zoology, Jahangirnagar University, Savar-1342, Dhaka, Bangladesh e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] (received 23rd March 2011, accepted 25th May 2011) Abstract: Fishing with otters has been practiced in Bangladesh for the last two hundred years. This traditional practice plays an important role in otter conservation in Bangladesh. Among the three species of otters found in Bangladesh, only Lutra perspicillata is currently used for fishing by the fishermen in and around the Sundarbans. Noraile and Khulna districts, near the Sundarbans, are the only districts in the country where this species is bred in captivity, tamed, and used for fishing by the fishermen. These fishermen are completely dependent on this technique for their livelihood. These tamed otters are used for fishing in rivers inside the Sundarbans during winter and pre- monsoon. Fishing occurs outside the Sundarbans only during monsoon. The whole fishing system is unique, involving three people, a boat, a net, two adult tamed otters, and an immature trainee otter. The tamed otters generally do not catch fish by themselves during fishing rather they chase fish towards a special fishing net placed in the water away from the boat. Otters start driving fish to the net from different directions and when they come close to the net, the fishermen pull the net into the boat. Fishing with otters occurs at night, mostly between 2100h and 0500h.
