Hilsa — The Living Estuary

Interactive MSc research demonstration · Arif Anwar

Follow hilsa from the northern Bay of Bengal into the Meghna estuary, through spawning and nursery habitats, and back toward coastal waters. This interactive companion to my MSc research lets you explore how seasonal habitat and management choices can affect modeled recruitment potential.

Try it in a presentation

  1. Choose Take the journey to follow the life cycle.
  2. Switch between wet and dry seasons. Then test a disrupted corridor, oxygen stress, or nursery protection.
  3. Use Compare to discuss the trade-offs, and open Evidence & model to see the data and assumptions.

The map and migration routes are illustrative. The results compare scenarios under stated assumptions; they do not forecast hilsa abundance or catch.
