Abstract

An investigation on the present status and future fish production potential of Jhenaidaha Sadar Upazila of Jhenaidaha district was carried out from July 2001 to June 2002. Jhenaidaha Sadar Upazila is endowed with a large variety of waterbodies that can be used to produce a considerable amount of fishes. The present investigation was undertaken to know about the present status of fish production at different types of waterbody and make a potential to increase fish production in future in Jhenaidaha Sadar Upazila. The total fish production of all the waterbodies of Jhenaidaha Sadar Upazila was found to be 1,365.09 mt. Analyzing the present status of fish production, a five-year fish production potential has been prepared and after five year, the fish production target is estimated to be 3,289.62 mt. Among the different waterbodies, the highest fish production was found in pond sector (1,411 kg ha^-1). This study suggested the proper utilization of the available fisheries resources and some recommendations have also been made to increase fish production in Jhenaidaha.
