About
Hasan Ahmmed Chowdhury is a leading researcher in aquatic ecology and invasive species management, with a particular focus on the ecological threats posed by non-native fish in Bangladesh’s freshwater systems. His most cited work, a 2024 review on invasive suckermouth catfishes (Loricariidae), has already garnered 7 citations, highlighting its timely impact. In this paper, Chowdhury documents the introduction of these aquarium fish in the 1980s and their first recorded presence in Bangladesh in 2008, tracing their subsequent spread across rivers, lakes, and wetlands. He identifies the severe ecological consequences—including habitat degradation and competition with native species—and outlines the challenges of control and management. This contribution is notable for synthesizing fragmented data and raising urgent awareness among policymakers and conservationists. Chowdhury’s research bridges the gap between invasion biology and practical conservation, offering critical insights for protecting Bangladesh’s vulnerable aquatic ecosystems. His work serves as a vital resource for students and researchers studying biological invasions, freshwater biodiversity, and sustainable fisheries management in South Asia.
