Mud crab habitat potential mapping in selected sites of Sundarbans based on Remote Sensing Image

The project is funded by the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences under the BAS-USDA endowment program-2020. The project duration is three years. The overall objective of the research is to develop mud crab habitat potential map in the selected sites of Sundarbans based on field sampling and high resolution Remote Sensing Images. The present vigorous research will be guide us to develop sustainable management strategies of the mud crab resource in the region with the findings of carrying capacity, natural stock and potential habitat according to their physio-chemical properties. Thus, we believe present baseline findings will be act as guideline for the management and hence increasing the mud crab production in the country which will ensure the livelihood of the coastal marginal people as well as country will earn much foreign currency by exporting this valuable resource.This may act as the base-line information for the management of the mud crab fishery to increase the mud crab production in the country.
