Bangladesh has achieved great success in hilsa production. Bangladesh has strengthened its top position in this delicious fish production, and 86 percent of the world's hilsa is produced in this country, and the production rate was 65 percent just four years ago.
As a result of various effective steps of the government, the production of hilsa has increased consistently, the stakeholders believe that. This information has emerged as the current month of fisheries international organization and worldfish.
A two-day international research conference was held in India last Wednesday and Thursday, one of the topics of discussion was how hilsa production was produced in Bangladesh.
According to the information of the country, the production of hilsa in the neighboring country India, Misanmar, Sri Lanka and Pakistan has decreased. India was produced in the second place in the production of hilsa five years ago. But this year their production has dropped to 10 percent in the country.
In this regard, Fisheries and Livestock Minister Sh. Rezaul Karim told the media that this success has come to us to stop catching mother and jatka hilsa. For the sake of hilsa, the size of the hilsa fishing nets has also played a role.
Experts say that this fishing is stopped for 22 days from October 7 to October 28 as part of the mother hilsa protection campaign, which has also played a major role in increasing the production of hilsa.
Meanwhile, according to the observations of the World Fish, Department of Fisheries and Fisheries Research Institute, this time only in terms of quantity, no country is close to the hilsa of Bangladesh.
Incidentally, Bangladesh Department of Fisheries, Fisheries Research Institute and Oarldfish in 2018-19 jointly conducted a study on the genetic characteristics and movements of hilsa.
