Coastal to inland: Expansion of prawn farming for adaptation toclimate change in Bangladesh

---

tThe practice of prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farming is widespread in coastal Bangladesh due tofavorable biophysical resources. However, export-oriented prawn farming is particularly vulnerable toclimate change in coastal Bangladesh. This study identified different climatic variables, including salinity,coastal flooding, cyclone, sea-level rise, water temperature, drought, and rainfall have profound effects onprawn farming in the Bagerhat area of southwest Bangladesh. Considering extreme vulnerability to theeffects of climate change on prawn production, one of the adaptation strategies is to translocate prawnculture from coastal to inland (i.e., Bagerhat–Gopalganj) that appear less vulnerable to climate change.Although the prospects for prawn–carp polyculture and integrated prawn–fish–rice farming are positivein Gopalganj, a number of challenges were identified for the expansion of prawn culture. We suggest thatinstitutional support would help to adopt prawn production.
