Abstract
This review article delves into the opportunities and challenges of fish farming in the northeastern region of Bangladesh, aiming to identify strategies for potential growth and development in the aquaculture sector.Through comprehensive analysis and examination of fish farming trends, challenges, and opportunities, the study compiles and analyses reputed articles and data spanning mostly from 2000 to 2023.Key findings of the study highlight the significant role of pond culture in driving fish production trends in the region.Despite challenges such as limited seed production and infrastructural constraints, the study underscores the importance of targeted interventions, including pond-based aquaculture development, fish seed production, training programs, credit support, infrastructure development, and market linkages, in unlocking the full potential of fish farming in the northeastern part of Bangladesh.The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and other stakeholders to collaborate on implementing sustainable strategies for the growth and prosperity of the aquaculture sector in the region.
