and closed water 52.92%
3. Floodplain Fisheries in Bangladesh
• Undervalued but provide essential source of food,
income and livelihoods of millions of people
• Conversion for drainage, flood control, agriculture,
changes in nature, grabbing
• Latest trends conversion of floodplains to use for
aquaculture like closed waters:
o it increases fish production and income
o but floodplain ecosystem is under stress with
loss in diversity of wild fish, other aquatic
animals and plants and ecosystem services
o loss of access and benefits of the poor
4. Floodplain fisheries in Bangladesh – important
source of fish for household consumption and
livelihoods of the poor
5. PN35: CBFC in seasonal floodplains in
Bangladesh – fingerling stocking
6. PN35: CBFC - Good Harvest 2-3 folds higher than
baseline production based on natural productivity
within 5-7 months
7. PN35: CBFC in seasonal floodplains – ensure
employment of poor fishers and other poor people
8. Problems encountered in implementing CBFC
in seasonal floodplains
Increased fish production and income but
discontinuation of the activities largely related to
Governance
Dominance of the Leader
Inequity in distribution of benefits
Lack of transparency in investment and distribution of
income
Mistrust among the members and local DoF with the
leader
Poor coordination of Leader with other members

10. RiU PN35: WLE supported CBFC & IFM in
Floodplains in Bangladesh
o Enhanced overall productivity - develop effective stocking strategies
of fish fingerlings, linkage with hatchery, fish seed traders and DoF
o Develop strategies for increased production of natural fish and other
aquatic animals and plants, stocked fish, agriculture, water use for
irrigation
o Improved agrobiodversity - the ecosystem functions restored and
maintained following many of the principles restoration ecology,
mmultiple uses and diversity in use of resources with increased resilience
o Income, household nutrition, children education
o Ensured access and benefits of the poor, fishers, landless, indigenous
people (Adivasi) as member of the CBOs
o Good governance – CBOs, managing committees, participatory
decision making, democratic, transparent management, responsive
leadership, strengthen the CBOs to make it sustainable, extensive
sharing with others by organizing workshop and exchange visits
11. RiU PN35: CBFC and IFM in 10 Focal and 47 Outreach Sites
12. CBFC and IFM in Floodplains – Interventions brought
significant increase in production of small fish
o Stocked 528.5 kg mola @ 1kg/ha broodfish total
harvest of small fish 19,293 kg (mola and other
species of small fish)
o Contribution of small fish in total fish production 16%
in 2012 increased to 29 % in 2013.
o Contribution of small fish in total income 36% in 2013
Note: All small fish produced largely sold in the local
market but large amount of carps sold in Dhaka.
Significant improvement in fish consumption
especially small fish by the HH members and local
consumers
