Exploring the Rich Diverse: Freshwater Fish Diversity and Bionomics in the Sundarbans, India

The Sundarbans, a UNESCO-listed mangrove ecosystem spanning India and Bangladesh, harbors remarkable freshwater fish diversity, including 120 species. This review synthesizes existing data on fish bionomics—life history traits such as reproduction, growth, and migration—and their conservation status within the delta formed by the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna rivers. It highlights threats to sustainable fisheries, including habitat degradation and climate change, while emphasizing the ecological importance of mangroves in supporting fish biodiversity. The study also provides a foundational database for future research on life history parameters critical for conservation strategies.
