Title: Management of beel fishery: a special reference to Chapaigachi beel of Kushtia, Bangladesh
Abstract: The present study was carried out to observe management system, available freshwater fishes, natural abundance of fishes of Chapaigachi beel in Kushtia Sadar Upazilla, Kushtia, Bangladesh. A field investigation was conducted on existing status of fishery for six months from May to October 2013. The beel is a closed Jalmohal of 289.77 acre and is being managed since 1999 through leasing system for three years under Ministry of Land (MoL). Currently the beel is leased out to “Nandia Matshayajibi Somobay Samity Limited” at a cost of BDT. 17, 25, 000 per year for three years starting from the Bengali year 1420 to 1422. Mainly carp fishes were stocked in the beel and managed for four to five months. A total 68 species belong to 22 families under 9 orders were identified in the beel during study period. Within 68 recorded, 52 fishes were SIS (Small Indigenous Species) and the rest 16 species were large where 5 of them were exotic species. Highest 23 species belonged to the family Cyprinidae. Various unknown migratory birds came around the beel area in the winter season.
Key Words: Management, Beel fishery, Fish biodiversity and Chapaigachi beel
