ELEFAN-Φ, ELEFAN-I, ELEFAN-II were used to estimate the parameters of population of Harpodon nehereus from length-frequency data collected from Kutubdia channel of Bangladesh coastal water. The Lα and K were found to be 24.48 cm and 1.50/year. The annual rate of natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) were found to be 2.46 and 3.27 respectively. The rate of exploitation (E) was estimated as 0.57. The mean length at first capture (Lc) was estimated as 6.747 cm. This species was recruited in the fishery during March to May, August and October. The Peak recruitment appeared between March to April. Emax. was found to be 0.501. The present investigation clearly showed the over fishing (E>0.50) of H. nehereus in the investigated area of Bangladesh coastal water.Journal
