The study was conducted at Bergobindopur baor in Chaugachha upazilla of Jashore district, Bangladesh during September to December 2018. The study was based on a collection of primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected from randomly selected 30 fishermen of the baor through questionnaire interviews and focus group discussion (FGD). Secondary data were collected from the baor manager (directed by DoF), Upazila fisheries officer etc. Cross-check interviews were also conducted to clarify or verify the information. All the collected data were accumulated and analyzed by MS-Excel and then presented in textual, tabular and graphical forms to understand the available fish species, fishing activities and to find out as well as evaluate the socio-economic status of fishermen of the studied area. Fish species availability with their price: Various fish species were found in the Bergobindopur baor. Indigenous species included rui, catla, mrigal, calbaus, punti, tengra, shol, chital, ayre, mohashol, and exotic fish included tilapia, silver carp, common carp, grass carp, and Thai sarpunti (rajputi), which supported the study in Sibsa river (Islam et al. 2015). In the study area, different fish had different prices but high priced fish were mohashol, chital, ayre, Bergobindopur baor tengra, shol. Rabbani (2007) found rui, catla, mrigal, and silver carp as high priced fish in karotoa river. Therefore, Bergobindopur baor is more diversified with fish. Gears used for fishing and fish transporting system: Different nets were used for fishing like – Kochal jal, Thela jal, Net jal etc. Kochal jal were the most used net (65%) for fishing followed by Thela jal (25%) and Net jal (10%) (Table II). The selection of these nets might depend on the financial capacity of the fishermen. Ahamed (1996) also observed to use different nets such as- lift nets, cluster hooks, hand lines in kaptai reservoir. In the study area, fish transporting systems were not improved. After catching, fish were graded depending on size and kept in a big barrel or pot with water. Most of the fishers (75%) transported fish by local vehicles like –van, cycle, nosimon, korimon etc. and sometimes a few fishers (25%) transported their fish by some larger vehicles like truck, pick-up (Table II). This might be due to reduce cost. Islam and Hossain (2013) observed to use many local vehicles in Northwest Bangladesh, which coincided with the present study. Nature of treatments: About 80% of fishermen took allopathic, 17% received homeopathic and only 3% took kabiraji treatment, whereas Ali et al. (2010) found opposite fearures in Mymensingh. That means the fishers in Bergobindopur baor were very careful about their health (Table III). Housing, sanitary facilities, drinking water, and electricity facilities: The housing condition is one kind of indicator of economic status. The study revealed that 88% of fishermen’s housing structures were Kacha and houses of only 12% were semi-pacca (Fig. 2). Most of the fishermen (70%) used semi-pacca latrines where only 30% fishers used kacha latrines. All the fishermen used tube well water for drinking purpose. Among them, about 80% had own tube well and rest 20% collected drinking water from neighbors’ tube-wells. About 61% fishermen had electricity facilities where rest 39% fishermen didn’t get the facilities (Fig. 2). The housing structures of fishers in the study area were more or less similar to that reported by Shamima (2000) and Ahamed (1999), whereas the sanitary facilities in Tangail (CPP, 1996) were better than that of Bergobindopur baor community. The drinking water facilities of Bergobindopur fishers was just opposite to the finding of Ahamed (1999) who found to drink pond water in coastal area. Moreover, the present study exceeded the finding of Shamima (2000) in Gallamary fishing community, Khulna in terms of electricity facilities of fishers Constraints of the fishermen: In the study area, a number of constrains for fishermen were reported including lack of initiatives, awareness, leadership, unity as well as boat and gears, fish biodiversity reduction, fish transportation problem, inadequate training, having no control over fish market etc. The socio-economic constraints of fishermen in the study area were more or less similar to the finding of Saha (2004)
