Abstract

Bangladesh’s coastal waters contain diverse fisheries resources, with 475 recorded species of finfish including the cartilaginous fishes - sharks, skates and rays (Mazid, 2005). However, only 90 fish species are commercially important. These fall under the common groups of hilsa (herring), pomfret, marine catfish, tuna, coral fish, marine eel, jawfish, ribbonfish, bombay duck and shark (Fisheries Sector Review, 2003). The majority of the commercially targeted stocks are reported to be over-exploited and there were significant declines in catches after around 1997 (Kleih et al., 2002).
