Pond fish culture is the cornerstone to increase livelihood capitals. This study made an attempt to determine the relationship between livelihood capitals and pond fish culture to measure the changes of livelihoods capitals. The study is based on a field survey covering six Upazilas in Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. Only 10 pond fish farmers were randomly selected from 21 villages and stood at 210. Six Key Informant Interviews (KII), twenty-four FGDs and face-to-face interviews were done to collect primary information. Analytical technique as ordered probit model was followed to make a relationship between livelihood capitals (financial, natural, physical, human, and social) and pond fish culture. Under physical capitals, sources of credit, input availability and marketing facilities were inadequate in the development of pond fish farmers which directly affects pond fish culture. In terms of social capital, changes in basic needs, contact with other farmers and political consciousness were significant and positive. In terms of human capital, age, working experiences, and child and adult education were significant and positive but household nutrients and food consumption, visit to the health care centre, and water and sanitation conditions negatively impacted pond fish culture. The overall result of the study found that livelihood capitals were significant and positive impact on pond fish culture. It was, therefore necessary to pay attention to the physical, human and financial capitals of pond fish farmers through the provision of institutional credit, training facilities, and market establishment.

To determine the livelihood capitals of pond fish farmers in Mymensingh district of Bangladesh.

The study was conducted at six upazilas as Bhaluka, Trishal, Muktagachcha, Fulbaria, Phulpur, and Mymensingh sadar covering twenty-one villages. Several types of water bodies and fish farms located in different villages and urban areas were selected and monitored. Most of the areas were also out of flood. Hundred percent of ponds of this region were perennial. Major parts of produced fish are distributed from Mymensingh district to others. To prepare the population frame, voter lists were used and sub-assistant agriculture officers (SAAOs), Upazila Fisheries Officers, NGO workers and local elites were also consulted. To ensure the involvement of respondents in pond fish culture, 438 pond fish farmers were identified where 10 pond fish farmers were selected randomly from each village. Consequently, the sample size stood at 210. For this reason, it is necessary to use a systemic approach (Fussel & klein 2006; Carr 2014) to obtain a more complete livelihood assessment. Both primary and secondary information was collected through the survey, monitoring, participatory rural appraisal (PRA) tool such as twenty-four (24) focus group discussion (FGD), six key informants and face to face interviews with seventeen participants in each group. For face to face interviews, a set of preplanned interview schedule was prepared to address several issues of pond fish culture, and livelihood capitals of fish farmers. In addition, a number of published books, journals, annual reports, and internet documents were considered for secondary information. The following analytical technique has been utilized to investigate the relationship between livelihood capitals and pond fish culture using Stata software. Relationship between livelihood capitals and pond fish culture: Livelihood is not simply a localized phenomenon, but connected with environmental, economic, political and cultural process to wider national, regional and global arenas (Carney 2002; Complain 1998; Redelift 1990). While Frank Ellis (2000) provided a good working definition as “the assets (natural, physical, human, financial, and social capitals), the activities, and the access to these (mediated by institutions and social relations) that together determine the living gained by the individual or household.” To measure the relationship between livelihood capitals (financial, natural, physical, human and social) and pond fish culture and catch out the changes of livelihood capitals, the ordered probit regression model used in this study (Della Lucia et al., 2013). The livelihood capital framework for sustainable development was adopted here. These livelihood capitals included natural, financial, physical, social, and human capital (Carney, 1998; Davies, 1996; Soussan et al., 2000). Each of these capitals was, in turn, dependent on various indicators. Financial capital was dependent on income, employment and savings; physical capital was dependent on household assets, road and transport, market and health care service; natural capital were dependent on water, land, and temperature; social capital was dependent on the social institutional role (early marriage, dowry), decision ability, social prestige, solve conflict and cooperation and human capital was dependent on health, education, training, knowledge and skills, etc.

Here there are significant changes in the attitude of the pond fish farmers towards a positive relationship with the pond fish culture and livelihood capitals (financial, natural, physical, human and social). Different analytical criteria were considered for this, such as seven analysts for physical, five for social, nine for human, seven for financial and six analysts for natural capitals and significant relationships with each other. All these influential variables were to continue pond fish culture. But in reality, due to lack of sources of credit, lack of input supply and lack of suitable pond size, physical capitals were insufficient for the development of pond fish culture. As usual, participating in social gatherings and interacting with others was a major obstacle to the development of social capital. Three of the nine variables had significant but negative relationships with human capital, meaning that nutritional food, sanitation, and health awareness were the measure of human capital growth that directly contributed to fishermen’s livelihoods. The profit estimate also found that the number of loans from NGOs and others was negative but significant in the case of financial capitals. On the other hand, deposit facilities in a bank revealed an insignificant and negative relationship with the financial capital. In the case of natural capitals, ownership of the pond, groundwater level, and soil preservation were highly significant and positive, where the vegetation of the area was a negative but significant relationship. In addition, fertilizer application on the pond was found to be insignificant but had a positive effect on natural capitals. As a result, it can be easily said that fish culture in ponds was improved the livelihood capitals where income, savings, loan facilities, housing, sewerage systems, etc. were considered. Based on the key findings of the study, it is very important to pay close attention to the livelihood capitals especially on the human, physical, and financial capitals of the fishermen. It is imperative that the development of human, physical and financial capitals were possible through the provision of training, input availability, and institutional loan facilities as well. In addition, institutional, private, and government support is needed which will act as a mediator in the development of pond fish culture. Finally, this is not to say that it is possible to improve the quality of life of pond fish farmers by improving livelihood capitals, need to review other aspects of qualitative research along with quantitative research of livelihoods. Which helps in better and realistic sustainable livelihood analysis for pond fish farmers.
