  • Abundance and Biodiversity of Phytoplankton in the Halda River During Monsoon and Post Monsoon Period
    Int. J. Adv. Res. Biol. Sci. (2021). 8(8): 10-18 International Journal of Advanced Research in Biological Sciences ISSN: 2348-8069 www.ijarbs.com DOI: 10.22192/ijarbs Coden: IJARQG (USA) Volume 8, Issue 8 -2021 Research Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22192/ijarbs.2021.08.08.002 Abundance and Biodiversity of Phytoplankton in the Halda River during Monsoon and Post Monsoon period. Mazharul Islam Sajeeb Institute of Marine Sciences, University of Chittagong, Bangladesh. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Abundance of phytoplankton in the Halda river was studied during monsoon (July) & post monsoon (February). Samples were collected from three sampling stations- Station 01(Moduna Ghat), Station 02 (Sattar Ghat), Station 03 (Najirbat). Total 20 species were identified. The highest number were recorded for Coscinodiscus Sp (600 cells/liter) during post monsoon at station 03. The average number of phytoplankton in station 01, station 02 and station 03 were found 2985 cells/liter, 3470 cells/liter, 3870 cells/liter. The most abundance of phytoplankton was found in post monsoon. The physio chemical parameter varied from as, temperature 27°to 29° during monsoon , 25°to 28° during post monsoon, PH 5.5 to 6 during monsoon and 5.5 to 5.9 during post monsoon, dissolve oxygen 4.285 mg/l to 5mg/l during monsoon, 4.285mg/l to 5.71 mg/l during post monsoon and transparency 26.5 to 32 cm during monsoon, 27 to 31 cm during post monsoon. The Shannon diversity index was ranged between 2.345 to 2.6 during monsoon and 2.59 to 2.62 during post monsoon.

The disaster killed an estimated 160 persons, including 115 persons in Rangamati alone. According to the Chittagong Divisional Health Office Control Room Report, a total of 187 injured persons were admitted in local level hospitals. Approximately 85% of patients were admitted in Rangamati. While landslide related disaster occurs nearly every year, the second highest death toll of 127 deceased persons was recorded in 2007 [Disaster Forum, June 2017]. Monsoon rains caused severe flooding in low-lying areas to significantly damage road and communication infrastructure. Flood water rendered remote communities in Bandarban, Chittagong, and Rangamati districts were inaccessible by road. On June 14th, mudslides in southeast Bangladesh claimed additional lives in Cox's Bazaar and Khagrachari districts to further damage homes and infrastructure.

  • Risk and Coping Mechanisms of the Carp Spawn Fishing Community of the Halda River, Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Zool. 45(1): 85-96, 2017 ISSN: 0304-9027 (print) 2408-8455 (online) RISK AND COPING MECHANISMS OF THE CARP SPAWN FISHING COMMUNITY OF THE HALDA RIVER, BANGLADESH Aysha Akhtar, Md. Tarikul Islam, Md. Shafiqul Islam, Muhammad Moznu Mia, Md. Simul Bhuyan*, Md. Manzoorul Kibria1, Abu Sayeed Muhammad Sharif2, and Abu Hena Mustafa Kamal3 Institute of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, University of Chittagong, Chittagong, Bangladesh Abstract: To assess the livelihood risks and coping mechanisms of the spawn fishing community of the Halda river, Chittagong, Bangladesh was conducted. Four areas, namely Ankurighona, Gorduara, Madarimukh and Madunaghat were selected on the basis of the aggregation of spawn fishers. A structured questionnaire survey was made on 152 spawn fishers in two categories i.e. boat owner and hired laborers to collect primary data. Three major man-made risks, namely catch of brood fish, non-functioning sluice gates and cutting of river bends related to egg collection were mentioned by the spawn fishers while salinity intrusion, river erosion and fluctuation in weather variables were found as the main natural risks. Willingness to continue egg collection despite the risks was disagreed by most of the respondents while those who were found to continue egg collection mentioned their driving forces as high profit, tradition and hobby. The respondents expressed that they cannot take any measures to mitigate the risks of salinity intrusion, weather fluctuation, mortality of spawn, non-functioning sluice gates, cutting of river bends and political influences. However, informing police and raising awareness to stop illegal catch of brood, construction of proper sluice gates, stop further cutting of river bends and rehabilitation of erosion victims were mentioned as probable solutions.

  • The Case of Bangladesh D National Se
    Globalization, Local Crimes and National Security: The Case of Bangladesh Submitted by: Md. Ruhul Amin Sarkar Session: 149/2014-2015 Department: International Relations University of Dhaka. P a g e | 1 Abstract Globalization has become one of the most significant phenomena in the world since the end of the cold war. Globalization especially the economic globalization has brought about new opportunities and opened dynamic windows for the people of the world based on the notion of liberalism, free market, easy access of goods and services. Although globalization has brought about some positive gains for individuals and society, it has caused negative impacts on the society called ‘the dark side of globalization’. It has created complex and multifaceted security problems and threats to the countries especially the developing countries like Bangladesh. Globalization has changed the nature and dynamics of crime although crime is not a new phenomenon in Bangladesh. The nature or pattern of crime has changed remarkably with the advent of globalization, modern technology and various modern devices, which pose serious security threats to the individuals, society and the country. Globalization has created easy access to conducting illegal trade such as small arms, illegal drugs and human trafficking and some violent activities such as kidnapping, theft, murder, around the world as well as in Bangladesh. It has developed the new trends of crimes, gun violence, drugs crime, and increasing number of juvenile convicts and heinous crimes committed in Bangladesh. Over the years, the number of organized murder crimes is increasing along with rape cases and pretty nature of crimes with the advent of globalization and information technology.

Manzoorul Kibria 3 1 Research Associate, Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, BANGLADESH 2 Assistant Professor, Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, BANGLADESH 3 Professor, Department of Zoology, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, BANGLADESH * CORRESPONDENCE: [email protected] ABSTRACT The tidal river Halda that serves as a natural breeding ground for major Indian carps and sources of other aquatic resources is of special interest. This study was conducted to monitor the water quality using physicochemical and biological parameters of the river in three different sampling stations namely Gorduara, Sattarghat and Kalurghat. Eight physicochemical parameters of water - temperature, PH, transparency, EC, DO, TDS, SS, salinity and plankton communities were considered for monitoring water quality in three stations. All the physicochemical parameters were within the pollution standard except DO (4.5 mgL-1) at Kalurghat station. In case of biological monitoring, zooplankton populations consisting of four classes were identified where 13 zooplankton genera under these 4 classes showing the dominancy. The abundance of zooplankton was higher at Gorduara station (2042 No./ L) followed by Sattarghat (1906 No./ L) and Kalurghat (1610 No./ L) respectively. On the basis of Identifying 11 genera of algal genus, six genera were used to prepare ‘Palmer pollution index’ which identified Kalurghat station as highly polluted zone.

  • Tree Species Diversity of the Kaptai National Park in Rangamati District, Bangladesh
    Jahangirnagar University J. Biol. Sci. 8(2): 71-79, 2019 (December) Tree species diversity of the Kaptai National Park in Rangamati district, Bangladesh Md. Mukhlesur Rahman*, M. Mahfuzur Rahman1 and Md. Kamrul Huda2 Bangladesh Forest Research Institute, Shulashahar, Chittagong, Bangladesh Abstract The purpose of this study was to estimate the tree biodiversity in the Kaptai National Park. The total area of the Kaptai National Park is about 4,564 ha (11,273.08 acres) under the jurisdiction of Rangamati South Forest Division, Rangamati Hill Tracts district. The study was conducted through extensive survey only on the tree species composition in the Kaptai National Park. During the investigation, a total of 65 tree species belonging to 29 families were recorded from the park. Among the plant families, Mimosaceae possessed the highest number of species (7) followed by Meliaceae (6), Ancardiaceae (5), Moraceae (4), Verbenaceae (4), Combretaceae (4), Myrtaceae (4), Dipterocarpaceae (3), Fabaceae (3), Rubiaceae (2), Bombacaceae (2), Caesalpiniaceae (2), Dilleniaceae (2) and Bignoniaceae (2) respectively. There were 15 families which contained single species. Tree species belonging to the family Mimosaceae was dominated in respect to number of species and their population as well. The findings of the present investigation will contribute in the regeneration of tree species in this degraded forest ecosystem and in the protection, conservation and sustainable management of the Kaptai National Park. Key words: Kaptai National park, native tree species, biodiversity. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh vegetation is a part of the Indo-Myanmar region, which is one of the most important hot spot areas for biodiversity (Mittermeir et al., 1980) and rich biological diversity due to its unique geophysical location (Hossain, 2001; Barua et al., 2001; Chowdhury 2001; Nishat et al., 2002).
