In a recent virtual press conference, Dr Harunur Rashid, a professor of Department of Fisheries Management under Faculty of Fisheries at BAU, talked about his research on such method. Dean (acting) Prof Md Abul Mansur presided over the programme.
Dr Rashid said he started his research Biological Control of Mosquito Larvae Grown in Waterlogged Environment using Larvivorous Fishes and Comparison of Efficiency between Native and Exotic Fish Species in Chottagram in 2017.
Dr Rashid said he used two exotic varieties guppy and mosquitofish and three local species khalisa, darkina and dhani of larvicidal nature.
