Fin tissue samples of 60 individuals were collected from the Padma (ChapaiNawabgonj) and Meghna River (Chandpur). DNA was extracted and D-loopof mtDNA was amplified, purified and sequenced. A total of 35 Sequences (15 Sequences from the Padma and 20 Sequences from the Meghna population) were analyzed and 14 haplotypes were detected. Total16 polymorphic sites were identified that included11 singleton sites and 5 parsimony informative sites. These populations showed high haplotype diversity (h) (0.863 in the Meghna and 0.901in the Padma population). We found low nucleotide diversity (Pi) within each population, 0.0058±0.0039 in the Padma to 0.0063±0.004 in the Meghna population. The shared haplotypes among the two populations were identified as 28.57%, and the rest 71.43% were private haplotypes. Estimate of genetic differentiations (Fst) suggest that the Meghna population of Hilsa was closely related to the Padma population (Fst= 0.058, P=0.07). The TCS genealogy showed three main haplotypes separated by three mutational steps and hap_10 might be the most ancestral haplotype by its internal position in the network. All results suggest panmixia in T. ilisha populations between the Meghna and Padma river populations and thus similar management plan could be useful for these two river Hilsa fishery in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":213044,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Fisheries","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114721556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Macrobrachium samples were collected from Jamuneshwari river, Tangon river and Atrai river. Morphometric and ratios data were subjected to univariate ANOVA test. To assess variations among the species, a principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical variate analysis (CVA) were performed. Four PCA explained 95.31% of the variation in morphometric and ratios data. Four CVA were correctly classified as 46.53%, 30.02%, 18.10% and 5.35% respectively using morphometric and ratios data. Morphometric and ratio results from PCA formed a compact cluster among species while in CVA showed that species were completely formed a separate cluster. A dendrogram independently developed based on phenotypic traits among the individuals of the five Macrobrachium species confirmed the presence of phenotypic differentiation.

Seventeen morphometric and six meristic characters were studied, and the analysis highlighted that native and Vietnamese snakeheads were significantly different considering all morphological traits examined except eye diameter. The discrimination analysis illustrated that pelvic fin length (PVFL), pectoral fin length (PCFL), mouth gape (MG), and body width (BW) were the central characters caused to differentiate between native and Vietnamese populations. However, morphological findings compared with the previous findings reveal that Vietnam-originated snakeheads in Bangladesh do not correspond to wild morphotypes in Vietnam and that need to maintain carefully to avoid possible new morphotypes through genetic introgression and different culture condition practiced in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":213044,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Fisheries","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114684949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to unavailability of hatchery produced seeds the farming of S. olivacea in exclusively depends on the wild for small juveniles resulting in exploitation of this species in Bangladesh. The development of proper hatchery techniques considering better understandings related to larval development are needed to increase the survival and growth rate of S. olivacea in hatchery conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to optimize the water treatment strategy for the upgrading of water quality, minimizing mortality and shortening the metamorphosis duration during larval rearing of mud crab. Newly hatched larvae were reared in three different rearing conditions where the water was treated with both prebiotic (Super-TCT-Biotic, 5 ppm) and probiotics (Fish probiotic, 0.5 ppm) in treatment-1 (T1) but only prophylaxis (mixure of 0.025 ppm Teflan and 0.3 ppm Furazolidone) in treatment-2 (T2). In treatment-3 (T3), prebiotic (5 ppm) and probiotics (0.5 ppm) were combinedly used during first 10 days and prophylaxis (0.3 ppm) was also used from day 14 to day 25. The stocking density was maintained as 50 zoea.L-1 and rotifer, liquid rotifer, enriched Artemia and liquid Artemia were used as feed for the larval growth. The findings revealed that hydrological parameters viz., temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and ammonia in all the treatments were similar and found within the acceptable ranges for mud crab larvae rearing. The value of larval stage index (LSI) was found significantly higher (p<0.05) on 21st day of rearing in T3 (6.87±0.06) than T1 (6.74±0.04) and T2 (6.61±0.07). Between, zoea1 and crablet phase, the significantly higher survival rate was observed in T3 (7.00±1.00) than T1 (5.00±0.00) and T2 (4.00±1.00).

Fish-borne zoonotic parasites are a rapidly increasing health hazards for human in all over the world. There is a scarcity of information on the fish-borne zoonotic parasite infection in Bangladesh. The present study was aimed to investigate fish-borne helminth parasites in Bhola district. A total of 300 fresh fish samples were collected randomly from different local markets of Bhola district and transported to the laboratory of the Department of Parasitology, BAU. Fishes were homogenized and digested with pepsin-HCl solution for overnight and washed with NaCl solution for 8-9 times and then sediment was examined under a microscope to detect the presence of metacercariae/metacestode. Fishes were found to be infected with multiple infective stages of helminth parasites such as Opisthorchis sp., Clonorchis sp., Diphyllobothrium sp., Metagonimus sp. and Metorchis sp. In this study, 58% overall prevalence of fish-borne zoonotic parasites was recorded. About 80% metacercariae was found in Loitta (Harpadon nehereus) followed by 65% in Spotted snakehead (Channa punctata), 60% in Tilapia (Oreochromis nilolticus), 45% in Stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) and 24.28% in Indian carplet (Amblypharyngodon microlepis). The plerocercoid of Diphyllobothrium sp. were identified morphologically and was confirmed molecularly by PCR.
