species in the hypersaline environment (ii) change in migratory route for breeding
purpose (iii) loss of primary food supply (mainly plankton) due to adverse impact of
salinity tolerance for that organism (plankton) and (iv) direct mortality due to
extreme saline condition (Mitra 2013). All these reasons directly or indirectly lower
the condition factor of fin fish species by amplifying the environmental stress.
A long-term study of some fifty years (encompassing all the major landing
stations) is, however, needed to pinpoint the impact of salinity fluctuation on the
condition factor of fin fish species in the lower Gangetic delta at the apex of Bay of
Bengal.
