Asia play a significant role in the agricultural sector, particularly in post-harvest activities (Unnevehr and Stanford, 1985; Begum, 1985). Recent studies in Bangladesh have revealed an increasing involvement of women in field crop production in addition to their traditional role in post-harvest activities (Rahman and Routray, 1998). The fisheries sector, second only to agriculture in the overall economy of Bangladesh, also involves women's participation at various levels with varying degrees of intensity. However, literature on the role and contribution of women to the fisheries sector in Bangladesh is scanty. For example, in recent years, shrimp farming has expanded rapidly, particularly in coastal areas. The expansion of this industry has provided employment opportunities for women in various activities. Abstract Kaptai reservoir, with an area of 58,300 ha is one of the largest freshwater bodies in Bangladesh, and it generates an annual fish production of about 5,000 tonne. Although the exploitation of fish has been occurring since the formation of the lake, harvesting is totally artisanal.
