.............................................................................. 84 1 INTRODUCTION Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) is a major fishery resource in the Gulf of Bengal. The stock of this migratory species is shared between multiple countries and this anadromous species breeds inland, where it ascend up to 1,200 km up rivers for spawning (Motwani et al. 1957, Karamchandani 1961). Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand are working together through the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) Project. Identifying distribution patterns, migration routes and breeding sites in each country in order to implement adequate management measures in these sites is essential to sustainability of the resource. According to BOBLME (2010), in Myanmar “there is limited information on the Hilsa fishery and no scientific studies on the species or its habitats were reported. Thus the knowledge base to undertake management of the fishery in Myanmar appears limited. This limits the scope of any management plan”. The present collaboration between BOBLME and WorldFish/DoF/MyFish will fill a knowledge gap about Hilsa in Myanmar; it includes two sub-components based on systematic and structured gathering of local knowledge, namely i) seasonal abundance, geographic distribution and migration extent of hilsa in the Ayeyarwady delta, and ii) identification of hilsa inland breeding sites in the Ayeyarwady delta This research will contribute to Component 2 of BOBLME: Coastal/marine natural resources management and sustainable use, in particular its Sub-component 2.3. Collaborative regional fishery assessments and management plans. It will also complement the project “Procedures and methods for continuing assessment of the status of the hilsa resources in Myanmar” by providing information on spawning sites and migration extent, which is not covered by the latter LOA/RAP/2012/36 project and is necessary to ensure access management at critical sites. Last, this project will contribute to a better understanding of connectivity between Hilsa marine stocks and inland reproduction sites ensuring the sustainability of these stocks. We detail in the present report the methodology used, the hilsa seasonal abundance and fish size patterns in 31 townships,

Pathein Township is the capital of Ayeyarwady Region in Myanmar. These economic activities depend on physical, social, cultural, institutional factors and government policy factors. Economic activities in Pathein Township vary spatially from place to place. Most of the economic activities are found urban area and the rest are rural area. The economic condition is mainly based on the agriculture, industry and services.31 variables that influence on the existing economic activities are accessed by Factor Analysis.The most dominant basic factors in influencing the economic development on physical, socio-economic and farming processes.

Agriculture is still the most dominant economic sector, although secondary and tertiary economic sectors have been expanding. Agricultural land use occupies 32 percent of the total area of the township, representing 26 percent of the total value of GDP. Most manufacturing industries are agro- based.In this study, the primary economic sector is mainly focused together with other economic sectors. The temporal and spatial changes of agricultural sector in highlighted for the period from 1999-2000 to 2009-10 and that of secondary and tertiary in the period from 2006 to 2011.
