Abstract

Küçük ölçekli balıkçılık, özellikle balıkçılara geçim kaynağı ve döviz sağlaması açısından Bangladeş ekonomisinde hayati bir rol oynamaktadır. Habiganj bölgesindeki Kalni Nehri'nde küçük ölçekli balıkçılığın ve balık mevcudiyetinin sosyo-ekonomik değerlendirmesi üzerine olan bu çalışma, Mayıs-Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında dört ay boyunca yürütülmüştür. Toplam 58 balıkçı rastgele seçilmiş ve bu balıkçılarla odak grup tartışmalarında (FGD'ler) bilgi toplama ve ön kontrol listesi oluşturmak için görüşülmüştür. Bunların %93'ü erkek ve yaş ortalaması 36,89 ± 6,43 yıldır. Sonuçlar, balıkçıların aylık gelirinin 10.000-20.000 BDT, 20.000-30.000 BDT ve 10.000 BDT'den az arasında değiştiğini göstermiştir. Çalışmada, kullanılan balıkçılık araçlarının türü ve küçük yerli balıkların (SIS) mevcudiyeti de dahil olmak üzere çeşitli yönler hakkında bilgi toplanmıştır. Ana balıkçılık yöntemi olan 'Ber jal' avcılık yöntemi, avın %80'ini oluştururken, 'Dhormo jal' yöntemi kalan %20'yi oluşturmuştur. Bu dönemde, 1-3 tür Puti (Puntius spp.), meni (Nandus nandus) ve Gobiidae familyası türü en bol bulunan balıklardır. Nehirde çeşitli SIS'ler yakalandı; ayrıca bazı nadir türler de belirlendi. Topluluk temelli yönetim yaklaşımı ve balık koruma alanlarının yönetimi ile balıkçılık kaynaklarına ilişkin kamuoyunun farkındalığı, balıkçıların geçim kaynakları üzerindeki antropojenik etkileri en aza indirmede etkili olabilir.

Abstract

Small-scale fisheries play a vital role in the economy of Bangladesh, especially in providing livelihood to fishers and foreign exchange. A study on the socio-economic assessment of small-scale fishing and fish availability in the Kalni River in Habiganj district was conducted for four months from May to August 2023. A total of 58 fishers were randomly selected and interviewed for information gathering and pre-checklisting in focus group discussions (FGDs). Of these, 93% were male and the mean age was 36.89 ± 6.43 years. The results showed that the monthly income of fishers ranged from 10,000-20,000 BDT, 20,000-30,000 BDT, and less than 10,000 BDT. The study collected information on various aspects including the type of fishing gear used and the availability of small indigenous fish (SIS). The main fishing method, 'Ber jal' gear, accounted for 80% of the catch, while 'Dhormo jal' gear accounted for the remaining 20%. During this period, 1-3 types of Puti (Puntius sp.) and (Nandus nandus) Gobiidae family is the most abundant species. Various SISs were caught in the river; some rare species were also identified. Community-based management approach and management of fish sanctuaries, as well as public awareness of fishery resources, could be effective in minimizing anthropogenic impacts on fishers’ livelihood.
