  Barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790) is one of the most commercially important species world-wide, with aquaculture of this species being relatively new in Bangladesh. This paper outlines the on growing farming systems of barramundi, its cultural constraints, economic significance, and availability in coastal Bangladesh.
