Fish Museum & Biodiversity Center

The Fish Museum & Biodiversity Center, also known as FMBC, is located in Mymensingh, Bangladesh in a space provided by Bangladesh Agricultural University. The Center, whose goal is to encourage sustainable fishing, has been developed in partnership with Stirling University.[1]

FMBC is one of the largest of its kind in South East Asia given the size and diversity of its exhibits and collections.

Further exhibits are planned and the museum staffs are working tirelessly to secure supporting funds and further specimens for exhibiting. In future the museum will include interactive public aquaria and bespoke systems for research purposes for conservation based initiatives. It is intended that research facilities will include aquaria for maintaining large and small indigenous fish species, a cryogenic fish gene bank and DNA collections.[2]
