Mostafizur Rahman Mondol, 12Md. Yeamin Hossain and Md. Mosaddequr Rahman 1Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Rajshahi. Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh 2 Faculty of Fisheries, Kagoshima University, 4-50-20 Shimoarata, Kagoshima 890-0056, Japan Abstract: The present study was conducted in the Karatoya River; Bangladesh to find out the fish species availability during January 2012 to December 2012. Samples were accumulated fortnightly from the fishermen catch fished in different points of the River from Shibganj Upazila to Bogra Sadar Upazila. The present study revealed 49 species of fish under 8 orders and 18 families. Cypriniformes was the most dominant order representing 36.74% of the total fish population followed by the Siluriformes (22.45%) and Perciformes (22.45%). On the other hand, Cyprinidae was the most dominant family constituting 31.25% of the total fish population followed by Bagridae (10.20%). Among the available fish species, 18.37% were very rare while 40.82% were rare. Only 30.61% of the total fish population was found throughout the year in a small amount while merely 6.12% was available throughout the year in large quantity. More than half of the fish population available in the Karatoya River is threatened to extinct due to sundry reasons. Lack of water flow throughout the year especially during the dry season was found to be the main threat for fish species conservation in the Karatoya River. Furthermore, siltation, destructive fishing methods, indiscriminate fishing of fry, fingerlings and the brood fish are the additional threats for sustainable fisheries management. Orchestrated dredging program should be commenced to increase the water holding capacity of the river. Fish sanctuaries need to be established which will sanction the fish some sort of shelter during the dry season and heavy fishing pressure. Indiscriminate and destructive fishing must be ostracized and community-based fisheries management should be inspirited. Further detailed studies on fisheries biology including reproductive biology, growth, stock assessment and their association with subsisting laws are essential for the sustainable management and conservation of fish species in the Karatoya River, Bangladesh. Key words: Fish availability Karatoya River Threats Conservation Management Bangladesh INTRODUCTION increment, precipitation reduction and increased water withdrawal for agriculture and other human uses [7, 8]. Freshwater fish are not only the most diverse group There never seems to be sufficient resources to bulwark of vertebrates; they additionally feature the farthest as much of the world’s lands and waters as are essential fraction of threatened species [1]. Freshwater biodiversity to conserve the world’s biodiversity. Lack of resources has dwindled faster than either terrestrial or marine forced to set priorities about where to do conservation biodiversity over the years [2, 3]. The base of the work [9]. Knowledge of the existing resources and their conservation problems of freshwater fish is the fact that condition are, therefore, essential for planning any the freshwater fish occupy comparatively limited space management program for conserving or developing the (i.e. river or lake basins) with very reduced ability for inter- resources. The River Karatoya is one of the important basin movement [4, 5], contrary to the fairly free moving Rivers in Northern Bangladesh. However, due to various marine fish [6]. Declining water flow rate in the river have anthropogenic and natural reasons water flow of this river been the primary cause of species loss. Unfortunately, decreased significantly in recent years threatening the this rate likely to be further reduced by temperatures aquatic biodiversity.

Fish availability, fish price, threats to fish diversity and conservation needs were determined on account of fish abundance during sampling, market survey, interviewing fishermen and fish cognate personnel using pre-structured questionnaire according to Rahman et al. [12, 13]. Fish availability was classified as TY (throughout the year), TYS (throughout the year in small amount), TYL (throughout the year in large amount), SM (found in small amount during monsoon), LM (found in large amount during monsoon), R (rare), VR (very rare) and NE (not evaluated). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The present study recorded a total of 49 fish species under 8 orders and 18 families from the Karatoya River Fig. 1: Map showing the study area in the Karatoya (Table 1). Cypriniformes was the foremost order River (sky-blue lines indicate river and yellow constituting 36.74% of the total fish population followed circles indicate the sampling sites) by the Siluriformes (22.45%), Perciformes (22.45%), Synbranchiformes (8.16%) and Osteoglossiformes erudition, there is no previous information available on (4.08%). On contrary, Beloniformes, Clupeiformes and the availability of fish species in this river. Subsequently, Tetraodontiformes were the least numerous orders this study plans to broaden the knowledge of fish constituting only 2.04% each of the total fish population resources in the Karatoya River, Bangladesh.

  • Ex Ante and Ex Post Effects of Hybrid Index Insurance in Bangladesh
    Ex ante and ex post effects of hybrid index insurance in Bangladesh ∗ Ruth Vargas Hill1, Neha Kumar2, Nicholas Magnan3, Simrin Makhija2, Francesca de Nicola1, David J. Spielman2, and Patrick S. Ward4 1The World Bank, Washington, DC, USA 2International Food Policy Research Institute, Washington, DC, USA 3University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA 4Duke Kunshan University, Kunshan, Jiangsu, China July 30, 2018 Abstract We assess both the demand for and effectiveness of index insurance product to help smallholder farmers in Bangladesh manage production risk during the monsoon season. Villages were randomized into insurance treatment or comparison groups, and discounts and rebates were randomly allocated across treatment villages to encourage take-up and to allow for the estimation of the price-elasticity of insurance demand. Among those offered insurance, we find demand to be fairly price elastic, with discounts more successful in stimulating demand than rebates. Purchasing insurance yields both ex ante risk management effects as well as ex post income effects on production practices. Risk management effects lead to an expansion of cultivated area with concomitant increases in input expenditures during the monsoon season. Income effects lead to more intensive rice production during the subsequent dry season, with more intensive use of fertilizers and labor, resulting in higher yields and higher total rice production.
