        This study assessed the socioeconomic status of the fishing households, was carried out in two villages of Patharghata upazilla in Barguna District, Bangladesh. Data were collected from a purposively drawn sample of 60 fisher’s households through household surveys as well as from secondary sources. Most of the data were collected during 9 October to 30 October, 2022 because the government of Bangladesh banned to catch fish at that time. From the survey it was found that about half of the fisherman is full time and most of the households are male headed. Maximum number of family are small (63.3%) and average family size of the examined households was 4.32 which is almost same as the national average. Highest percentage (55%) of the fishermen is young (15 to 49 years) where about 92% of the household heads (92%) are married. By religion, 46.67% fishermen are Muslims and majority (53.33%) fishermen are Hindus. In terms of education, 46.7% had education up to primary level, 23.33% of fishermen in secondary level and 30% had no education. The average working hour of the fisherman was almost 7 hours.
