Background
Bangladesh is the biggest deltaic country in the world
The country has world’s largest continuous mangrove forest the “Sundarbans”
The country also has the widest longest sea beach at Cox’s bazar”
Most of the landmass of the country is in between 1-10m MSL
The economy of the country based on agriculture and related activities
![Page 4: Dr. Md. Abdus Salam Professor, Department of Aquaculture Bangladesh Agricultural University Mymensingh, Bangladesh masalambau@gmail.com Impact of Climate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e0b5503460f94af3e90/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
IPCC estimated global temp would rise 1.8 – 4.0oC and Sea level 9 to 88 cm by the year 2100
With the CC and estimated SLR, 1/6 of Bangladesh low laying land may go under water
The Sundarbans mangrove forest and other coastal wetland would disappear
Flood and cyclone intensity will increase tremendously
Storm surge may go 7.4 to 9.1 m with 1 m SLR

Background (cont.)
Millions of CC refugees will migrate in near by town and high land areas
SIDR in Nov 2007 and AILA in May 2009 destroyed the whole coastal region
Most of the embankments and roads have destroyed
Tidal force do not allow them repair or rebuild yet
People in the areas are leading miserable life with the tidal water
Breeding and feeding ground and habitat of freshwater fishes have reduced a lot

Background (cont.)
This presentation is about CC impact on inland fisheries and Aquaculture
Bangladesh is a riverine country crisscrossed by 700 large and small rivers
Fish and fisheries resources play a vital role in the socio-economic development of the country
The sector contributes 63% animal protein, 5.3% to GDP and 12% of the total foreign exchange earnings
![Page 7: Dr. Md. Abdus Salam Professor, Department of Aquaculture Bangladesh Agricultural University Mymensingh, Bangladesh masalambau@gmail.com Impact of Climate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e0b5503460f94af3e90/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Background (cont.)
10% people including 1.3 million full time fishers are dependent on fisheries for their livelihoods
However, climate change is directly or indirectly affecting fishery production
Fish reproduction, growth and migration patterns are affected by temperature, rainfall and hydrology
It has adversely affected both fresh water and marine fisheries of Bangladesh

To know the impact on hatchery and nursery operation and aquaculture and fisheries activities
To know the socio-economic impacts on hatchery, nursery and aquaculture operations and on the fishing communities; and
To find out the adaptive measures for sustainable aquaculture production and fish harvesting from the nature
The overall objectives of this study was to assess the CC impact on fisheries and aquaculture activities and livelihood of the stakeholders
Hence the specific objectives were:

Coping strategy to overcome the problems by fishermen

The study has identified that the fish farming, hatchery and nursery operation in all three locations are moderately affected by climate change
It is really a challenge for the fish farming communities to cope with the changing situation
Fluctuating rain and temperature and prolong drought are the main causes of fish decline in northwestern region of Bangladesh
The changing environment made the fisher communities livelihood vulnerable
Greater understanding of climate change consequences is needed to boost up aquaculture and fisheries production in the country
Conclusion
![Page 33: Dr. Md. Abdus Salam Professor, Department of Aquaculture Bangladesh Agricultural University Mymensingh, Bangladesh masalambau@gmail.com Impact of Climate](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e0b5503460f94af3e90/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Measures need to be taken
Integrate aquaculture with agriculture for food security and high value food
Create sanctuaries to protect the indigenous fish biodiversity and safe guard the fishing communities
Increase income through alternative livelihoods like backyard vegetable gardening and nurseries
Small scale “Backyard Aquaponics” could be another means of alternative livelihoods for the poor communities
Govt., NGOs, national and international donor agencies should come forward to help the fish farming and fisheries stakeholders as they are not any way responsible for climate change
