Three stocking densities (low, medium and high) were tested in a bottom clean aquaculture system to evaluate the growth efficiency, nutritional values, blood parameters, and cost-effectiveness of <i>Mystus cavasius</i>. Fish stocking rates in tanks were 666 (low density), 1000 (medium density) and 1330 fish/m³ (high density) with an initial fish weight of 0.49 ± 0.19 g, 0.48 ± 0.18 g and 0.50 ± 0.20 g, respectively. The results suggested that the water quality assessment was within acceptable limits for fish growth. The study revealed significantly higher (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) final weight, weight gain, percentage weight gain, average daily weight gain, specific growth rate, survival rate and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in the low-density treatment. However, the total fish yield and profit were significantly higher in the high-density treatment compared to the medium-density and low-density treatments, resulting in a higher net profit. Nutrient values were similar across all treatments. The length–weight relationship analysis indicated a negative allometric growth (<i>b</i> &lt; 3) with no significant variation (<i>p</i> &gt; 0.05) among treatments. The blood glucose and haemoglobin levels ranged from 129.50 to 157.75 mg/dL and 8.40 to 8.80 g/dL, respectively, among treatments indicating optimum levels.

However, research evaluating the stocking effectiveness of plateau fish species is scare. <i>Schizopygopsis younghusbandi</i>, a Tibetan fish endemic to the middle Yarlung Zangbo River, is currently facing a decline in resource availability. In the present study, an 11-month mark–release–recapture experiment was conducted to evaluate the post-release performance of hatchery-reared juvenile <i>S. younghusbandi</i> released into a tributary of the Lhasa River from September 2023 to August 2024. The overall recapture rate of the released fish was 8.04%, with 92.0% of the individuals being recaptured within 10 days of their release. As the time since release increased, the occurrence rate of the released fish at various capture sites demonstrated a declining trend. The last recapture of a released fish occurred 248 days post-release, demonstrating that the experimental fish can successfully overwinter in the field environment. The average weight of the released fish increased by 66.4% over the 11 months following their initial release. The condition factors of the released fish exhibited notable variations, with a significant decline during the winter months. Changes in gut fullness indicate that the released fish resumed feeding as early as the second day post-release and maintained feeding activity throughout the subsequent experimental period. The movement patterns of the released fish reveal that they primarily dispersed upstream of the release site during the early stages; however, after 8 days of their release, they predominantly moved downstream. The population contribution rate of the released fish ranged from 0.36% to 1.09% over the 2–8 months following their release.

This study examines the relationships between marine fish production, and climatic and oceanographic variables along the Cox's Bazar coast in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Utilizing marine fish production data collected from fish landing centre, and satellite remote sensing data, the study evaluates the relationship between marine fish landing of five different groups and climatic and oceanographic variables. Multiple linear regression (MLR) models were employed to assess these relationships flowing into key analytical steps. The analysis revealed that certain climatic and oceanographic variables, including monthly average precipitation (LnPrecep), relative humidity (LnRhdt), sea surface temperature (LnSST), chlorophyll-A concentration (LnChl), salinity (LnSalinity) and dissolved oxygen (LnDo), have a combined explanatory power of 30.7, 46.10, 30.7, 40.4 and 24.0%, respectively, for the observed variability in monthly landing of five groups of marine fishes (hilsa, chanda, mackerel, rita and mixed) at Bangladesh Fisheries Development Corporation (BFDC)'s fish landing centre of Cox's Bazar.
