The hilsa shad, Tenualosa ilisha (Clupeidae, Clupeiformes) is an important anadromous clupeid species from the Western division of the Indo-Pacific region. It constitutes the largest single fishable species in Bangladesh. Information on genetic variability and population structure is very important for both management and conservation purposes. Past reports on the population structure of T. ili...

Tenualosa ilisha from Chittagong and Khulna regions of the Bay of Bengal was analyzed which showed that proximate compositions varied among the different portions of fish body. The highest value of moisture found in dorsal portion of the fish (Khulna region) whereas the lowest value of moisture found in caudal portion of the fish (Chittagong region) were 56.59 and 54.69%, ...

In present study a total of 1,456 specimens (428 males, 534 females and 494 unidentified small individuals) of T. ilisha were collected between, Jan. 2013 and Dec, 2014, 20 specimens of each monthly samples were isolated in the study area. Five stations were chosen, starting from the city of Al-FAW in the estuary section of the river to the northern-most station in the Al Hammar Marsh's (the cu...

An experiment was carried out on the reproductive biology of riverine populations Tenualosa ilisha in Bangladesh to identify peak breeding season using gonadal and gonadosomatic index (GSI) information, fry production potentiality, which will finally lead development strategies for conservation Hilsa fish species. Total 480 Samples were collected from Meghna River, Chandpur, July 2012 June 2013...
