Using twelve years (2007-2018) of catch-effort data and one-year monthly catch data, this chapter evaluated the catch-effort dynamics and stock status of the artisanal fishery in the Bay of Bengal. Though artisanal fishing depends on the season and condition of the Bay, September to March is reported as the standard fishing period in Bangladesh. A total of 62 fish and shrimp species were reported from artisanal fishery catch. The stock information indicates the unsustainable status of the fishery that is affected by overfishing. Moreover, the biomass level is not sufficient to produce maximum sustainable yield (MSY). The overfishing hurts the coastal and marine ecosystem by changing the food chain and truncating the food web, threatening the ocean health. To reverse the overfishing, it is strongly recommended that the annual catch of artisanal fishery should not exceed the MSY limit (529,000 t year-1). In addition, some immediate management strategies should be put in place to ensure the sustainability of the artisanal fishery and protect the livelihoods of artisanal fishers of Bangladesh.
