Abstract:
The study was conducted to categorize and portray the constraints and vicinity
impact of shrimp farming. Data and information were collected from 90 gher of
selected three upazilas of Satkhira district in Bangladesh following purposive
sampling technique. Among ten selected constraints “Over chances of virus
intrusion” got the highest score (CCI-166) while “Biasness in partnership/muscle
power crisis” got the lowest score (CCI-28) in Constraints confrontation index
valued from 0 to 150. Meanwhile, the shrimp gher proprietors were privileged with
comparatively more BCR (4.18) corresponding with Paddy (2.07), Brinjal (2.93) and
Tomato (3.04). This led individuals to come forward in such aquatic activity inspired
by family heritage. Over 90% hatchery household were advantaged by intaking
nutritious food. Furthermore, about 85% had household development and 84% had
recreational and educational feasibility. However, several catastrophes ascended due
to shrimp commercialization motive. Exploration identified inadequacy of fresh
drinking water, agrarian soil salinity acceleration, exploitation of natural fingerling
as well as other aquatic organism multiplication and human disease outbreak
prominently. Therefore, sustainable steps need to be followed to enhance the existing
farm arena without hampering the environmental food chain.
