This study investigated the growth, mortality, recruitment, and catch estimates of Nile perch, Lates niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758), in Upper Victoria Nile, basing on total catches and length-frequency data collected between 2008 and 2018. The asymptotic length (L∞) had a value of 93.45 cm TL, growth curvature (K) was 0.446 year-1, total mortality (Z) was 1.85year-1, natural mortality (M) was 0.79 year-1, fishing mortality (F) was 1.09 year-1, exploitation rate (E) was 0.59 and growth performance index(ᴓ) of (L∞) was 3.604. There were two peaks recruitment period, a minor one in March and a major one in August. These respectively accounted for 12.8 and 26.3 percent of the total catch. The optimum sustainable yield (E0.5), maximum sustainable yield (Emax) and, economic yield (E0.1) was 0.278, 0.421 and 0.355 respectively. The findings suggest that there is a decline in the population of Lates niloticus in Upper Victoria Nile. Therefore, strict management of the fishery by adhering to the recommended slot size of 50-85 cm TL and curtailing use of illegal gears is needed. This will be possible through enforcement of regulations, monitoring, control and surveillance in order to ensure sustainability of the Nile perch fishery and ecosystem restoration in the Upper VictoriaNile.Keywords: Lates niloticus; Catch rates; Growth parameters, Upper Victoria Nile.

Stock Assessment of Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822) were estimated using FiSAT-II software with length-frequency data collected from different landing centers. The Southeast Coast of Bay Of Bengal, Cox's Bazar. The Von Bertalanffy growth parameters Land K for the species were asymptotic length (L∞) was 51.41 cm, growth rate (K) was 0.75 year-1 and t0 = -0.2 year respectively. The estimated value of total mortality (Z) based on length converted catch curve using these growth parameters was 2.35 year-1.Natural mortality (M) based on growth parameters and mean environmental temperature (T = 27° C) was 1.00 year-1 and fishing mortality (F) was 1.35 year-1. Optimum length of hilsa at first capture (Lc=L50) was 28.36 cm TL. Growth performance indices (ϕ') was 3.30. The estimated value of the exploitation rate (E) using the length-converted catch curve was 0.57. The recruitment pattern of this species was continuous and two peaks per year. The present investigation clearly showed the over fishing (E > 0.50) condition for T. ilisha in Bangladesh. The estimated length-weight relationship for the combined sex was found to be W = 0.0109 L3. Virtual population analysis (VPA) showed that the maximum fishing mortality occurring in the length between 30 to 35 cm with a maximum value in the length of 32 cm that repeatedly indicate high fishing mortality in the T. ilisha. The generalized length-weight relationship was fitted with the pooled data of all monthly samples were BW = 0.029 TL2.718 (R2= 0.833) respectively. The results revealed that all length-weight relationships were highly correlated (r > 0.993). Maximum sustainable yield (MSY) was estimated as 435,554 t. Bangladesh J. Zool. 48(2): 231-241, 2020

Population dynamics and stock assessment of chapila (Gudusia chapra, Hamilton-Buchanan) in the Rajdhala reservoir, Netrakona, Bangladesh was studied from January 2003 to December 2004 using length-frequency based analysis of FiSAT software to evaluate the growth parameters, mortality rates, exploitation rates, recruitment pattern, maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and the corresponding fishing mortality at this level. The annual rates of natural mortality, fishing mortality and total mortality were 1.34, 1.37 and 2.71 yr-1 in 2003 and 1.37, 1.58 and 2.95 yr-1 in 2004 respectively. The study revealed that the fishes were recruited in the fishery twice a year and the fishes were harvested at a higher level than the optimum fishing pressure. Twenty four percent of the present exploitation pressure on chapila is suggested to be reduced to get the MSY of this fish from the reservoir.

A study was conducted to investigate the growth parameters, mortality and recruitment pattern of Odontobutis potamophila collected in the Gaosha river fish landing site, west part of Wuyuan County (Latitude: 29° 14' 29" N, Longitude: 117° 45' 49" E). O.potamophila were collected from November, 2013 to October, 2014. Growth parameters, asymptotic length (L) = 192mm and growth coefficient (k) = 0.22 year-1. Growth performance index(Ø’) =3.91, total mortality (Z) = 0.72 year-1, natural mortality (M) = 0.32 year-1, fishing mortality (F) = 0.40 year-1 and exploitation rate (E) = 0.55year-1.The estimated exploitation rate (E) has slightly exceeded the optimum value of E indicating this species was sustainable exploitation in the study area. The exploitation ratios were computed as Emax= 0.61, E10= 0.52, E50= 0.34. The length at first capture at 50%, (Lc) was 77 mm. The recruitment pattern of the species was found continuous all-round the year with one peak. The observation of the annual recruitment of O.potamophila found to occur from May to July. Steady biomass also increased with length class until 121-125 mm, and the total steady state biomass was found to be 2240 kg.

Dependent Mortality

An added mortality rate of eggs, larvae and juveniles of fish populations, or impact, is assumed to be density independent. The total mortality from hatching to recruitment is represented by the fecundity, and any increment in density independent mortality implies a decrement in density dependent mortality. At high stock the consequence is an increase in stock towards a position of less resilience: at low stock less resilience is found with a decrease in stock. In general impact generates a shift of K -strategy, the self-stabilizing strategy, to r -strategy, an opportunistic one. In a fish population very little impact should be tolerated at low stock because it would prevent recovery to a management objective such as maximum sustainable yield. At high stock, impact may generate more stock at an unknown risk.

A stock assessment of P. merguiensis in the Gulf of Carpentaria was made by means of a yield per recruit analysis based on studies of migration, growth and mortality. Data were collected both from the commercial fishery and tag recapture experiments. No significant movement of tagged prawns out of the fishing grounds occurred during the fishing season. Estimates of the von Bertalanffy growth parameters (L∞ = 38.0 mm carapace length, K = 0.08 week-1) were obtained from the change in monthly size distribution of commercial catches. The natural mortality coefficient (M) was 0.05 week-1 while the total mortality coefficient (Z) estimates for fishing seasons during 1974-1976, ranged from 0.22 week-1 to 0.35 week-1. The corresponding estimates of the optimal size at first capture ranged from 30.6 to 32.6 mm carapace length. Despite the high rates of exploitation (E = 0.78-0.86), there was no evidence to suggest that recruitment had been adversely affected.

In this study, we examine the performances of current stock assessment methods with respect to their ability to (i) provide estimates of maximum sustainable yield (MSY), FMSY, and BMSY and (ii) assess stock status and exploitation level relative to MSY targets. The robustness of the current International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) management strategy is then evaluated with respect to uncertainty about the true population dynamics and contrasted with a simpler management strategy based solely on a size limit. Reference points are more robust to dynamic uncertainty than the estimates of absolute values and trends in F and spawning stock biomass. However, their performances depend on the underlying dynamics (they perform better when fluctuations come from changes in the carrying capacity than migration) and on when they are implemented relative to the intrinsic cycle of the population. Reference points based on F were less biased and more precise than those based on biomass and (or) yield. Although F0.1 appeared to be the best proxy for FMSY, it cannot indicate past and current levels of exploitation relative to FMSY when there is uncertainty about the dynamics. Finally, the F0.1 management strategy of ICCAT performed only slightly better than a simpler strategy based on size limit and led to lower catch levels.

Using life–history invariants, this paper develops techniques that allow the estimation of maximum sustainable yield and the fishing mortality rate that produces the maximum yield from estimates of the growth parameters, the length at first capture and the steepness of the stock recruitment relationship. This allows sustainable yields and fishing capacity to be estimated from sparse data, such as those available for developing country fisheries.

The last assessment of three commercially important mud crab species (Scylla tranquebarica, S. olivacea and S. serrata) in the mangrove dominated Panguil Bay was in 2005; there was already an indication of the stock decline. This study aimed to continue the assessment but focused on production, growth parameters, total mortality, and exploitation rate of the three mud crab species at seven mud crab landing sites from March 2017 to March 2019 following standard fisheries enumeration protocols. Results showed that the total resource production in Panguil Bay decreased from 201.1 MT in 2005 to 103.0 MT in 2017-2019. Growth parameters of the three species for male and female, respectively are as follows: S. tranquebarica (L∞ = 11.5 cm and 11.7 cm, annual growth coefficient K = 0.6 and 0.6, exploitation rate E of 0.5 and 0.5); S. olivacea (L∞ =10.9 cm and 11.4 cm, K = 0.5 and 0.6, E = 0.6 and 0.5); and S. serrata (L∞ = 12.3 cm and 12.9 cm, K = 0.7 and 0.6, E = 0.6 and 0.6). Total production of mud crabs increased, and the three species are highly exploited, but exploitation rates are already slightly below or above maximum sustainable yield (Emax). A total of 1,848 fishers were recorded owning 2,015 boats composed of 1,419 motorized and 596 non-motorized. An inventory showed an increase of 5.36% in the number of motorized boats from the last assessment in 2005. A total of 15 types of gear were recorded, in which the top three include fish corral, crab pot, and gill net. Consequently, this study recommends reducing the present fishing pressure or effort of the three mud crab species, particularly during the spawning season occurring on wet months (July to October), for sustained mud crab fisheries in Panguil Bay.
