International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies 2018; 6(5): 31-36 E-ISSN: 2347-5129 P-ISSN: 2394-0506 (ICV-Poland) Impact Value: 5.62 Possibilities of natural spawning ground of carp species (GIF) Impact Factor: 0.549 IJFAS 2018; 6(5): 31-36 at Surma and Kushiara River in Sylhet © 2018 IJFAS www.fisheriesjournal.com Received: 14-07-2018 Nirmal Chandra Roy, Manish Sinha, Fanindra Chandra Sarker and Accepted: 18-08-2018 Liaquat Ali Nirmal Chandra Roy Professor, Department of Fish Abstract Biology and Genetics, Sylhet The study was conducted to identify the possibilities of natural spawning ground of carp fishes in Surma Agricultural University, Sylhet, and Kushiara river in Sylhet for a period of four months during April to July 2015. Four locations were Bangladesh selected for this study to explore the existence of spawning ground and availability of carp spawn in the Sylhet haor basin. The sampling points were Hetimganj point (Surma river), Bhadeswar point (Kushiara Manish Sinha MS Student, Department of Fish river), Monumukh point (Kushiara river) and Atgram point (Surma river). The research was done by Biology and Genetics, Sylhet setting up two Savar nets at each sampling points of river site for the collection of fish seed sample. It Agricultural University, Sylhet, was observed that 3105 g of carp seeds was collected from Hetimganj point and 50 g from Bhadeswar -1 -1 -1 -1 Bangladesh point. The carp spawn fishing intensity was 186.56 g day net in new moon and 20 g day net in full moon at Hetimganj point. No carp fish seeds were found in Monumukh and Atgram point. -

Assessment of Soil Loss of the Dhalai River Basin, Tripura, India Using USLE
International Journal of Geosciences, 2013, 4, 11-23 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijg.2013.41002 Published Online January 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijg) Assessment of Soil Loss of the Dhalai River Basin, Tripura, India Using USLE Kapil Ghosh, Sunil Kumar De*, Shreya Bandyopadhyay, Sushmita Saha Department of Geography and Disaster Management, Tripura University, Suryamaninagar, India Email: *[email protected] Received September 27, 2012; revised November 12, 2012; accepted December 11, 2012 ABSTRACT Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problems, and it remains as a major threat to the land use of hilly regions of Tripura. The present study aims at estimating potential and actual soil loss (t·h−1·y−1) as well as to in- dentify the major erosion prone sub-watersheds in the study area. Average annual soil loss has been estimated by multi- plying five parameters, i.e.: R (the rainfall erosivity factor), K (the soil erodibility factor), LS (the topographic factor), C (the crop management factor) and P (the conservation support practice). Such estimation is based on the principles de- fined in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) with some modifications. This intensity of soil erosion has been di- vided into different priority classes. The whole study area has been subdivided into 23 sub watersheds in order to iden- tify the priority areas in terms of the intensity of soil erosion. Each sub-watershed has further been studied intensively in terms of rainfall, soil type, slope, land use/land cover and soil erosion to determine the dominant factor leading to higher erosion. -
Decline in Fish Species Diversity Due to Climatic and Anthropogenic Factors
Heliyon 7 (2021) e05861 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Heliyon journal homepage: www.cell.com/heliyon Research article Decline in fish species diversity due to climatic and anthropogenic factors in Hakaluki Haor, an ecologically critical wetland in northeast Bangladesh Md. Saifullah Bin Aziz a, Neaz A. Hasan b, Md. Mostafizur Rahman Mondol a, Md. Mehedi Alam b, Mohammad Mahfujul Haque b,* a Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh b Department of Aquaculture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: This study evaluates changes in fish species diversity over time in Hakaluki Haor, an ecologically critical wetland Haor in Bangladesh, and the factors affecting this diversity. Fish species diversity data were collected from fishers using Fish species diversity participatory rural appraisal tools and the change in the fish species diversity was determined using Shannon- Fishers Wiener, Margalef's Richness and Pielou's Evenness indices. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted Principal component analysis with a dataset of 150 fishers survey to characterize the major factors responsible for the reduction of fish species Climate change fi Anthropogenic activity diversity. Out of 63 sh species, 83% of them were under the available category in 2008 which decreased to 51% in 2018. Fish species diversity indices for all 12 taxonomic orders in 2008 declined remarkably in 2018. The first PCA (climatic change) responsible for the reduced fish species diversity explained 24.05% of the variance and consisted of erratic rainfall (positive correlation coefficient 0.680), heavy rainfall (À0.544), temperature fluctu- ation (0.561), and beel siltation (0.503). The second PCA was anthropogenic activity, including the use of harmful fishing gear (0.702), application of urea to harvest fish (0.673), drying beels annually (0.531), and overfishing (0.513). -

A Taxonomic Account of Pteridophytic Flora of Adampur Forest, Moulvibazar District, Bangladesh
Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 27(1): 101-111, 2018 (January) A TAXONOMIC ACCOUNT OF PTERIDOPHYTIC FLORA OF ADAMPUR FOREST, MOULVIBAZAR DISTRICT, BANGLADESH NADRA TABASSUM* Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Key words: Taxonomic account, Pteridophytic flora, Adampur forest, Bangladesh Abstract A total of 17 pteridophyte species belonging to 11 genera and 9 families have been identified from Adampur forest of Moulvibazar district in Bangladesh are dealt with. Updated nomenclature with important synonyms, family name, English name, local name, citation of the specimen examined and a crisp description has been furnished under each species. Photographs of the species have been provided for easy identification. The voucher specimens have been deposited in the Dhaka University Salar Khan Herbarium, Department of Botany, University of Dhaka. Introduction Pteridophytes are widely distributed throughout the world. They show luxuriant growth from sea level to the highest mountains in moist and shady tropical and temperate forests(1). From the evolutionary point of view, pteridophytes are quite important for their evolutionary trend of vascular system and portraying the succession of seed habitat in the plants. Besides, they established a link between the lower group of plant and advanced seed bearing plants and consequently pteridophytes have been placed between the bryophytes and higher vascular plants. Despite being the ancient plants their vegetation is under threat in dominance of seed bearing plants(2). Some species are very beneficial to humans and many species attracts plant lovers for their graceful, fascinating and beautiful foliage (3). Although pteridophytes including ferns have been neglected due to its less economic importance but since ancient time ferns are of human interest for medical value as well. -

A Case Study of User-Group Representatives in Fisheries Management in Bangladesh
From exclusion to collective ownership: A case study of user-group representatives in fisheries management in Bangladesh Thomas Costa, Anwara Begum and S. M. Nazmul Alam Caritas, 2 - Outer Circular Road, Shantibagh, Dhaka - 1217, Bangladesh E-mail : [email protected] Fax : 880-2-8314893 Introduction: Rajdhala beel is a semi-closed fishery located in Purbadhala thana in Netrakona district of Bangladesh (24095' -25000' N lat and 90o60' E long)The beel covers 53 ha and has two openings. It connects to a river about 0.3 km away to the north (Dhalai River) in the monsoon for a few months through a channel (Fig. 1). The beel retains water all year and mostly has a depth of 4.6 - 7.7m (15 feet - 25 feet). Around 300 years ago a branch of Kangsha river named Dhalai river flowed by what is now the Purbadhala thana head quarter. Another branch of the river Brahmaputra named Diar river joined the Dhalai river at Purbadhala. The confluence of both rivers made a big ditch. Later the main river channels changed their routes. In daytime the water of that big ditch looks white due to reflection of sunlight. Water in the beel was so clean that local people called it ‘Dhala’ which means white in Bangla, they never found any water hyacinth in the beel. In 1730 AD a Hindu king Raja Sree Purna Chandra Shing came from the Borendra area in Rajshahi (Northwest Bangladesh) and settled here. This waterbody came under the control of the ‘Raja’ and it became known as Rajdhala beel. -
