Elevated ammonia levels in aquaculture systems could reduce fish growth and survival rates and produce a range of physiological problems. Ammonia toxicity in aquatic environments was regulated by various factors. Feeding was usually reported to help in the detoxification of fish, thereby increasing their capacity to tolerate ammonia nitrogen.

In Bangladesh, the mangrove areas of the Sundarbans are a hotspot for the spotted scat (), as the estuarine tributeries are significant zones for fishing, local marketing and foreign trading. Due to the widespread capture of spotted scats in the wild for a variety of uses, parameters of population were estimated using length-frequency and body weight data gathered from various sites in the southwestern forest areas of the country to comprehend the stock's status. Between May 2022 and April 2023, 1280  individuals were sampled from Khulna, Bagerhat and Satkhira.

Histological characterization of gonadal tissues and their development can divulge vital clues to interpret the onset and progression of the spawning period in fish species and help in wild stock augmentation to conserve the natural fish stocks. In the present study, ovarian histology of female was investigated from the Kangsha River, Bangladesh from March to November 2018. During this investigation, 54 females of was analyzed to study the ovarian development.

Kaptai Lake, the largest artificial reservoir in Southeast Asia, is home to a diverse fish fauna that supports thousands of livelihoods and is distinguished by multi-species and multi-gear fisheries. In Kaptai Lake, the gear-based catch composition, catch rate and distribution pattern are little known. From August 2020 to April 2021, a nine-month study was conducted in five using direct catch assessment surveys and fishing effort surveys from four fishing gears, namely seine nets, gill nets, lift nets, and push nets.

A diverse array of aquatic ecosystems are inhabited by the euglenophytes, a group of autotrophic and eukaryotic organisms. In inland waterbodies, the red bloom is caused by a rapid development or accumulation of euglenophytes. Recent studies have designated euglenophytes as bioindicator of organic pollution.

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the surface sediments of the Pasur river estuary was investigated to assess its distribution, potential sources, and current dangers to ecological and public health. The Pasur River is a tidal, meandering, perennial river in south-western Bangladesh with a considerable number of fisheries and industrial activities. Sediment samples were collected from seven sampling points from January to December 2022 to assess the contamination level of six potentially toxic elements (Pb, Cr, Cd, As, Cu and Zn).

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.

Microplastic pollution is drastically increasing in aquatic ecosystems and it is assumed that different sizes of microplastics have diverse impacts on the physiology of aquatic organisms. Therefore, this study was intended to examine the ingestion and size specific effects of polyamide microplastic (PA-MP) on different physiological aspects such as growth, feed utilization, survivability, blood parameters and intestinal histopathology of juvenile striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). In a 28-day exposure, the fish were fed with different sized PA-MP with a concentration of 500 mg per kg of feed in order to simulate highly microplastic contaminated environment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tracts of six commercial fish species from the Bay of Bengal, revealing the presence of 696 microplastics ranging from 0.3 to 5 mm in size.
  • Planktivorous fish had the highest average occurrence of microplastics (7.7 items/individual), with specific findings showing E. thoracata contained the most per gram of GIT at 30.99 items/g, while T. ilisha had the least.
  • The types of microplastics found included fibers, fragments, films, microbeads, and foams, with major polymers being polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate, highlighting a significant environmental concern that calls for stricter

Cyanobacteria's abundant production of bioactive compounds concerns unselective filter feeders in the aquatic food chain, but the factors driving this production remain poorly understood. Notably, nutrient availability, particularly concerning phosphorus and nitrogen, is believed to be a pivotal determinant of cyanobacterial mass development. In this data investigation, we aimed to explore the influence of dissolved phosphorus (PO) on the presence of chymotrypsin inhibitors, specifically Cyanopeptolin 954 (CP954) and Nostopeptin 920 (BN920), within NIVA Cya 43.

Toxic metals and freshwater fish's metalloid contamination are significant environmental concerns for overall public health. However, the bioaccumulation and sources of metal(loids) in freshwater fishes from Bangladesh still remain unknown. Thus, the As, Pb, Cd, and Cr concentrations in various freshwater fish species from the Rupsha River basin were measured, including Tenualosa ilisha, Gudusia chapra, Otolithoides pama, Setipinna phasa, Mystus vittatus, Glossogobius giuris, and Pseudeutropius atherinoides.
