Sexually Mature

New offspring due to sexual reproduction is not an instantaneous process from its birth, it takes time to be sexually mature. On the other hand, harvesting of commercially profitable fish population before the perfect size or weight is reached is not only a commercial loss but also risks the extinction of the population. Now, we discuss the issue of Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna basin, northern Bay of Bengal for the age-selective harvesting of Hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) which lays eggs after its sexual maturation. Harvesting of hilsa before its sexual maturation risks its extinction and due to lamer body weight, it is not a commercially profitable policy. This is a reality of Sundarban estuary for hilsa fish harvesting, therefore, biologically and economically both India and Bangladesh are facing several problems. Empirical data of Frasergunje Fishing Harbor shows a clear picture as the supporting document of this mathematical problem.

Juvenile fishing of the migratory hilsa shad, Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822), is rampant in the coastal waters of northern Bay of Bengal and associated Hooghly-Bhagirathi river system. The average annual economic loss due to this was estimated at `497.84 million (around US$ 7.8 million) necessitating urgent need for managing it to maximise benefits from the fishery as it forms a major fishery resource in the region. Factors leading to juvenile fishing and the possible solutions to control the resultant biological and economic loss are discussed.

AbstractGlobally, water bodies adjacent to mangroves are considered significant sources of atmospheric CO2. We directly measured the partial pressure of CO2 in water [pCO2(water)] and related biogeochemical parameters with high temporal resolution, covering both diel and tidal cycles, in the mangrove-surrounding waters around the northern Bay of Bengal during the post-monsoon season. Mean pCO2(water) was marginally oversaturated in two creeks (470 ± 162 µatm, mean ± SD) and undersaturated in the adjoining estuarine stations (387 ± 58 µatm) compared to atmospheric pCO2, and was considerably lower than the global average. We further estimated the pCO2(water) and buffering capacity of all possible sources of the mangrove-surrounding waters and concluded that their character as a CO2 sink or weak source is due to the predominance of marine water from the Bay of Bengal with low pCO2 and high buffering capacity. Marine water with high buffering capacity suppresses the effect of pCO2 increase within the mangrove system and lowers the CO2 evasion even in creek stations. The δ13C of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the mangrove-surrounding waters indicated that the DIC sources were a mixture of mangrove plants, pore-water, and groundwater, in addition to marine water. Finally, we showed that the CO2 evasion rate from the estuaries of the Sundarbans is much lower than the recently estimated world average. Our results demonstrate that mangrove areas having such low emissions should be considered when up-scaling the global mangrove carbon budget from regional observations.
