The current study aimed to describe the annual gametogenic phenology of the oyster (Röding, 1798) (=), which is found on the west coast of Moheshkhali Island, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Samples were drawn monthly from the intertidal region during low tide, from which 20 adult individuals were selected at random for biometry and histology. The mean condition index (CI), a ratio of tissue wet weight (g) to shell length (cm), varied from 0.

Seaweed cultivation is an eco-friendly method and attracts growing interest which needs a multi-criteria approach for its sustainability. In our present study, an economically significant red alga, Gracilariopsis longissima was cultured using a floating raft method on the coast of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh for a period of 90 days from January to March 2022. The effects of different factors such as rope materials, culture type, raft shape, seeding intensity, harvesting phase and water depth on the biomass yield production of G.
