Fisheries sector is one of the most productive and active sector in Bangladesh. This sector plays an important role in food security, employment opportunity and foreign exchange retributions in the economy. Bangladesh has needed 80.00 lac MT of fish within 2030 to achieve SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). Baors can keep great contribution to fulfill this target. The total fish production in baors are 7,729.00 MT and average production is 1,408.00 kg/ha. If we achieve this target baors have been utilized properly on a scientific basis. The production of fish per hectare in baors are much lower due to lack of proper scientific knowledge of fish culture and management practices. The review study has been undertaken to pinpoint or implement the sustainable baors management and fish culture technologies. The fisheries sector in baors the 21st century is facing the challenges of food security for the increasing population, habitat degradation, urbanization and industrial development.
