Recruitment of Puntius sophore in floodplain waters of Bangladesh was strongly densitydependent at a range of high stock densities and can be described by a Ricker model. Recruitment at low stock density was correlated strongly with waterbody fertility measured in terms of nitrate concentration. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of community–based management.
