The Garua bacha, Clupisoma garua, holds considerable commercial and nutritional significance as a fish species. This study investigates the relationships between GSI (gonadosomatic index) and eco-climatic conditions, and provides comprehensive insights into several facets of reproduction, such as size at first sexual maturity (L), spawning season, peak spawning period, and proposes sustainable management strategies for C. garua in the Ganges River, northwestern, Bangladesh.

Prawns are regarded as delicious food items and a source of income as it is the salient exportable fishery item of Bangladesh and a number of other countries. Climate change may inhibit the general physiological activity of prawns. This study explored the eco-climatic effects on reproduction, including size at first sexual maturity (L), spawning season, and fecundity of monsoon river prawn, Macrobrachium malcolmsonii (Milne-Edwards, 1844).

Article Synopsis
  • Freshwater catfishes, particularly Mystus vittatus, are economically valuable as food and sport; this study investigated various life history features of the species in the Ganges River over a year.
  • Findings revealed an unexpected sex ratio of 1 male to 1.48 females, significant size variations between sexes, and a spawning season from April to September with peak activity in May to July.
  • The study also emphasized the impact of environmental factors like temperature and rainfall on reproductive success, leading to recommendations for management practices to ensure sustainable fish populations and support local fishing communities.

This study highlights the reproductive biology of Hooghly Croaker, Panna heterolepis Trewavas, 1977 which is one of the dominant fish in the Bay of Bengal (Bangladesh) based on monthly sampling of 569 female individuals from January to December 2019. We observed the effect of different environmental factors (temperature, rainfall, dissolved oxygen, and pH) on the reproduction of P. heterolepis.
