A comparison of the recent description of Chelonodontops bengalensis Habib, Neogi, Og, Lee & Kim 2018 with that of Tetrodon patoca Hamilton 1822 reveals that the former is a junior synonym of the latter. Chelonodon patoca appears to be restricted in its distribution to coastal brackish waters at the mouth of the Ganges/Brahmaputra/Meghna system in India and Bangladesh and further south to at least the mouth of the Mahanadi. The valid name for the widespread Indo-Pacific species previously confused with C. patoca is C. kappa Hamilton 1822. We show that Bleeker (1850), not Rüppell (1852), was the first author to include pufferfish species in the genus Chelonodon Müller 1841, and as first revisers we choose Tetrodon kappa Hamilton 1822 as the type species of Chelonodon.

Tor putitora is an endangered cyprinid fish constrained to cold water and is also considered an indicator of a healthy aquatic ecosystem. The present study aimed to examine the haplotypic diversity, genetic variation and population structure of T. putitora isolates using COI and Cyt b gene sequences submitted in GenBank.

This research delved into the management approach for within the Gajner Beel of northwestern Bangladesh, employing a comprehensive array of length-based indicators. The study encompassed an investigation into population structure, growth parameters (including asymptotic length ( ), asymptotic weight ( ), growth coefficient (), and age at zero length ( )), mortality parameters, growth performance indices, recruitment pattern, exploitation rate (), relative yield per-recruit (), optimum catchable length , longevity, biomass, and maximum sustainable yield (. The TL and BW ranged from 5.

In this study, we use an integrative taxonomic approach to redescribe (Malhotra, 1983) (Cestoda: Bothriocephalidae), based on newly collected specimens from the type-host (Hamilton, 1822) (Cypriniformes: Danionidae) in Fulbari, Siliguri, West Bengal, India. The detailed morphological assessment, from whole mounts, histology and scanning electron microscopy, offers additional insights into the scolex structure, vitelline follicles, and egg morphology. Molecular data from this and previous studies corroborate the identity and systematics of as a bothriocephalid closely related to the Asian Fish Tapeworm, (Yamaguti, 1934).
