Diversity of small indigenous Fishes (SIF) of Nabaganga and Kaliganga rivers of Jhenidah, South western part of Bangladesh Biswas Bidhan Chandra 1 and Panigrahi Ashis Kumar 2 1Govt. K.C.

Pin: 741235, INDIA Available online at: www.isca.in , www.isca.me Received 9th July 2014, revised 20 th December 2014, accepted 18 th April 2015 Abstract Small indigenous fishes were very much important in socioeconomic, nutritional and biodiversity aspects. Bangladesh is reverine country which plays nursery ground of small indigenous fishes. But the open water system is reclaimed by anthropogenic interference of human. The river received large amount of discharge materials from industries, households and pesticides and fertilizer from agricultural practices by the riverside areas altered the physiochemical properties of water. Due to the contamination of water of the river, a number of fishes are declining affects the livelihood of the rural people. Thus it is prime importance to construct fish diversity structure of water bodies. Keywords : Small indigenous species, diversity, river, ecology, anthropogenic activities. Introduction Small indigenous fishes were considered those whose attain a length of 25cm or 9 inches 8. But there are some deviations of Jhenidah is an important district of Bangladesh because of its small indigenous fishes and considered length over 25 cm wonderful geographical locations adjacent to Indian territory, treated as SIS fishes 9. Over 260 fresh water fishes were present cris crossed by many rivers, Nabaganga and kaliganga are of which 154 are considered as SIS species 10 . Fish is the main important rivers which are considered as the tributaries of the dietary sources of protein covers 38% of the total protein Ganga- Padma river system play significant role in business, intake.SIS fishes have contain certain vitamins, proteins and communications, livelihood of the rural people, In addition, it minerals 11-14 . The flesh of the SIS fishes is very soft, tasty and helps in agriculture and a good number of fish diversity which is easily digestible. It helps to eliminate malnutrition and night the main source of protein for the rural mass. blindness. Our aim was to assess the present status of SIF fishes which help as baseline information’s for the Concerned Nabaganga and Kaliganga are the two main rivers which authorities and researches because no previous work have been contribute the prime open water resources in south western part done on the diversity structure of these rivers. of Bangladesh. Most of the people of these areas are farmers and depends largely on the productivity of these water bodies Methodology for fish, livestock grazing, irrigation, washing, cooking, bathing and urban set up. With the high intensity of population and farm Study was carried out from September 2009 to August 2010.Six practices, the productivity of aquatic bodies are declining as a sites were selected for investigation of SIS fishes. result loss of biodiversity occurs. 1 Table-1 Fish is the renewable natural resources of the earth and most of List of sampling stations are shown the protein intake was coming from the fishery resources 2-5.

Shariful Islam, Md. Abdul Wahab, Muhammad Shahidul Haq, Accepted: 23-04-2020 Shahroz Mahean Haque and Nafia Binte Ryhan Md. Shariful Islam Senior Scientific Officer, Abstract Bangladesh Fisheries Research The Ganges River supplies fresh water to the South-West region of Bangladesh mainly through one of its Institute (BFRI), Freshwater distributaries—the Gorai River. The length of the river is 199 km and the area of the Gorai River Sub-Station, Chanchra, Jashore, catchment is 15,160 km². India commissioned a barrage on the Ganges River at Farakka in April 1975 to Bangladesh divert water and make the Bhagirathi-Hooghly River navigable. The Gorai used to discharge into the Bay of Bengal through the Mathumati and Baleswar Rivers. The Madhumati is connected to the Nabaganga at Md. Abdul Wahab Bordia point. This is the drainage path of the Gorai water, which now reaches the Bay mainly via the Professor, Department of Fisheries Management, Passur and Sibsa Rivers. The distribution of the Gorai River flow at Bordia between the Nabaganga and Bangladesh Agricultural Madhumati Rivers and tidal conditions which influence the sediment concentration are not known. The University (BAU), Mymensingh, objective of this study is to monitor the freshwater flow in the Gorai River System of Bangladesh.

  • A Review on Consequences of Pollution of Some Indian Major Rivers and Their Remedial Measures
    International Journal of Research and Review www.ijrrjournal.com E-ISSN: 2349-9788; P-ISSN: 2454-2237 Review Article A Review on Consequences of Pollution of Some Indian Major Rivers and Their Remedial Measures A.K. Panigrahi1, Subasini Pattnaik2 1Ecotoxicology, Fisheries and Aquaculture Extension Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, Nadia, 741235, West Bengal. 2Department of Zoology, Berhampur University, Berhampur, BhanjVihar, Odisha Corresponding Author: A.K. Panigrahi ABSTRACT In India Rivers are divided into two parts like, north Indian River and south Indian River. Some north Indian rivers are Indus, Ganga, Gomati, Damodar, Rihand, etc. Some south Indian rivers are Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery, etc. In India, river plays an important role. Many people directly or indirectly dependent on rivers. Rivers not only important to human it is also important to animals and plants. Because river act as most biodiversity rich area. But nowadays Rivers become polluted by various ways. Mostly occurred by industrial effluents and heavy metals contamination. Metal directly or through drain enter into rivers. Metals like, Fe,Hg,Cd, Pb, Zn cause most pollution in rivers. Beside sewage water directly fall into rivers and ultimately pollutes river. This paper contains cause of river pollution, effects of river pollution and remedial measure of river pollution. Key words: Heavy metals, Pollutants, Pesticides, Runoff, Anaemia, Food chain. INTRODUCTION Singh and others (1997) report that due to Water is essential for all aquatic and heavy metals river Gomati sediments terrestrial animals and plants. Organic around the Lucknowurban centre are pollutants and heavy metals are the major polluted. Most polluted river in India is source of pollutants in river (Goldar and Yamuna River and many industries are Banerjee 2004).

  • Cluster Based Management Approaches for Wetlands: CNRS’S Experience in CBFM-2 Project
    Conference Paper 06 Cluster based management approaches for wetlands: CNRS’s Experience in CBFM-2 project M. Mokhlesur Rahman and M. Anisul Islam* *Center for Natural Resource Studies (CNRS), House # 14, Road # 13/C, Block E, Banani, Dhaka-1213, Bangladesh 1 ABSTRACT Among the reasons for the loss and declining productivity of Bangladesh wetlands is a lack of understanding of the underlying causes of wetland resource depletion. Other constraints to sustainable management include a need for building consensus among stakeholders and their inability to take up appropriate measures. Of late, it has been recognized that local resource users, managers and controllers can play key roles in wetland management. Efforts have been made to involve local user communities in wetland and fisheries management in various capacities since the mid-nineties. Different organizations and projects adopted different modes of community participation in project planning and implementation. This paper describes cluster-based management systems, formation processes, legal status, scope of works, and community responses to the approaches in five sites managed by CNRS under the Community based Fisheries Management (Phase 2) project (CBFM-2). The paper presents some key achievements of cluster/apex based approaches relevant to wider area issues such as restricting harmful fishing practices, reclaiming khas lands from illegal occupation, fish friendly operation of sluice gates, basin-wide integrated management, stopping the sale of banned gears, conflict resolution in upstream-down stream areas, which may have been impossible for single water body-based CBOs. A cluster approach also encourages individual CBOs managing their respective water bodies within the wider area through periodic sharing of lessons, assisting each other’s needs and realizing services from local agencies which will have contributed towards developing capacity and sustainability beyond the project period.
