MIGRATORY FISH IN THE WORLD & IN 
THE BANGLADESH & THEIR POSSIBLE 
MIGRATORY ROUTE
INTRODUCTION 
 
 Migration, in ethology, the regular, usually seasonal, 
movement of all or part of an animal population to 
and from a given area. Familiar migrants include in 
East Africa and in the Arctic tundra; bats; whales 
and birds; seals; and fishes, such as salmon. 
 Migration can be contrasted with emigration. 
 The migration cycle is often annual and thus closely 
linked with the cyclic pattern of the seasons. 
 The distance traversed may be a few miles or several 
thousands of miles.
CLASSIFICATION: 
 
 Three types: 
 Anadromous fishes are ones which migrate from the sea into 
fresh water to spawn (e.g. salmon),; or, ones which stay entirely in 
fresh water and migrate upstream to spawn. 
 Catadromous fishes are ones which migrate from fresh water into 
the sea to spawn (e.g. salmon),; or, ones which stay entirely in 
fresh water and migrate downstream to spawn. 
 Diadromous refer to all fishes which migrate between the sea and 
fresh water. These included: 
 amphidromous (fishes which migrate from fresh water to the seas, 
or vice versa, but not for the purpose of breeding), 
 potadromous (fishes whose migrations occur wholly within fresh 
water), and 
 oceanodromous (fishes which live and migrate wholly in the sea).
 
STATE: 
 There are about 8 000 species of fish which live in 
freshwater and 
 About 12 000 which live in the sea; and 
 There are about 120 species which move regularly 
between the two (Cohen, 1970).

MIGRATORY ROUTE: 
 
YELLOWFIN TUNA : 
 migrate all together is 
in spawning season. They 
will move closer to the 
equator for the warmer 
water. Each night 
Yellowfin Tuna swim 9 
miles out to sea to feed 
and then returns to 
shore by the next day. 
This is repeated every 
night.
 
LAMPREY: 
 are "diadromous". 
 In the spring, sexually mature adult sea lamprey migrate up 
tributaries to spawn.
SALMON 
  Most Atlantic salmon follow an anadromous fish migration 
pattern, in that they undergo their greatest feeding and growth 
in salt water; however, adults return to spawn in native 
freshwater streams where the eggs hatch and juveniles grow 
through several distinct stages. 
 Atlantic salmon do not require salt water. Numerous 
examples of fully freshwater (i.e., "landlocked") populations of 
the species exist throughout the Northern Hemisphere.In North 
America, the landlocked strains are frequently known as 
ouananiche.
 
TROUT 
 The brown trout is a non-native, introduced anadromous 
species, of which some sea-run strains are found in a few 
locations on Long Island in the Bight study area. The anadromous 
form of brook trout, a closely related species, is not found in the 
study area, but is found in some of the adjacent New England 
waters.
MIGRATORY ROUTE OF ILISH 
 
 Each year a large number of fish are caught in the 
Padma-Meghna-Jamuna delta, which flows into the 
Bay of Bengal. It is a sea fish but it lay eggs in large 
rivers 
 migrates up to 1,200 km inland through rivers in the 
Indian sub-continent for spawning. Distances of 50–100 km 
are usually normal in the Bangladesh rivers. 
 Ilish is also found in the deltaic region of southern Pakistan, in 
the province of Sindh. Here it is commonly referred to as the Palla 
fish.

POSSIBLE SPAWNING GROUND OF HILSA IN BANGLADESH 
1. Dhalerchar of Charfasion in Bhola ( area at about 80 square km) 
2. Monpura
Migratory route of eel : 
 
 The American eel is a catadromous species that lives its 
adult life within inland waters along the Atlantic and Gulf 
coasts of North America, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and 
the Great Lakes; and spawns in the open ocean waters of 
the Sargasso Sea in the northwest Atlantic.
FISHING GROUND: 
 
 There are four fishing grounds in Bangladesh. These are: 
 Elephant Point, 
 Kohinur Point , 
 South of South Patch in Cox's Bazar and 
 Sowatch of no Ground near the Sundarbans
IMPACT ON FISHING GROUND: 
 
 - Loss of flooded habitat during the monsoon, resulting in a loss 
of fish production. - Blockage of the movements of fish (adults, 
juveniles and hatchlings) between external rivers and 
floodplains. 
 - Reduced diversity of fish due to the prevention of migratory 
species entering the floodplains. 
 - Increased fishing pressure on smaller areas of water during 
the monsoon, resulting in damage to the long-term 
sustainability of the fisheries. 
 - Reduced dry season habitat resulting in higher fishing 
pressure and increased catchability of overwintering fish 
broodstock. The increasing use of water from beels to irrigate 
surrounding rice fields is of particular concern. 
 - Reduced groundwater recharge, resulting in a lower water 
table in the dry season which, in turn, could lead to a reduction 
in the area of perennial beels..
Recommended mitigation 
measures 
 
 - Production of deepwater aman. 
- Habitat rehabilitation and protection. 
- Increased fish migration across flood control structures. 
- Fisheries conservation: Beel management. 
- Fisheries conservation: Prohibited fishing zones at regulators. 
- Fisheries conservation: Protection of river (duar) fisheries. 
- Fisheries conservation: Etablishment of fish sanctuaries 
- Conversion of full flood control to partial control. 
- Provision of flood pathways in extensive areas protected by 
submersible embankments. 
- Increased fish migration across rural roads. 
- Strengthening of technical assessment and planning 
capabilities of BWDB/WARPO. 
- Establishment of national database on FCD/I projects.
CONCLUSION: 
 
 Finally, not only do they choose the numerical 
assumptions of their quantitative models, they also choose 
whether to use quantitative models at all.
