A two-month government ban on catching, selling, hoarding, and transporting of hilsa will come into effect from March 1 with a view to boost its production.

The ban will be lifted on May 1, said a handout on Monday. The ban covers hilsa sanctuaries in six districts-Barishal, Chandpur, Laxmipur, Bhola, Shariatpur and Patuakhali districts, reports UNB.

The sanctuaries are- 100 km in the Meghna River from Chandpur’s Shatnol to Laxmipur’s Char Alaxandar, 90km in Shahbazpur Channel in Bhola, 100 km in Tentulia River in Bhola, 20 km in Naria and Bhederganj upazila in Chandpur district, and 82 km in Hizla, Mehendiganj and Barishal Sadar upazila, Gazaria and Meghna river.

Hilsa has the highest contribution in the country's fish production as the single fish specie.

Every year, the government imposes a two-month ban on catching, selling, hoarding and transporting hilsa to boost its production.

During this period, catching, selling, hoarding and transporting hilsa will be considered as an offence and those who will violate the ban will get a minimum one year to two years jail or be fined Tk 5,000.

The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock has already allocated 80 kgs of rice for the registered fishermen during this ban period.

@Joe Shearer, Kolkata people can expect a huge supply this year also if the Hilsha harvest exceeds 500,000 tons. The prohibition has extended for 60 days this year. It was probably 28 days in the years when the prohibition measures was initiated.

Let's hope the Coast Guard can enforce the prohibitions. They have enough patrol craft and radar nowadays.

"Jatka" (young Hilsa) are in great demand too and there could be rogue activity ongoing for those catches.

Now, watch the video. Our illegal fishermen have attacked the coast guard boats. Send these fishermen to fight Indian BSF.

Yes these Be-sharam Be-laza Beyadabs will come in handy for sure.

BTW Thanks for the video.

Good to see that Coast Guard fishing ban enforcement is taking place and they at least have some equipment and fleet to do it with.

The govt claims it has provided 80kg rice per fishing family to compensate for the lean period they don't catch fishes. However, the fishermen say they haven't received any and to survive they were catching fish.

However, the Coast Guard people are active. I wish them to work more along the BD-India sea border to arrest Indian fishermen catching fish in our side.

That is happening too. Quite a few Indian and Sri-Lankan fishermen were caught last year by the strengthened Coast Guard Patrols with help of the larger fleet.

We do have to realize these are poor people, dependent only on back-dated maps and primitive methods for navigation. They can easily cross over into our territory by mistake. And vice versa.

Making a few examples by Coast Guard arrests will spread the word about being cautious.

Jinnah and his Faith, Unity and Discipline is befitting to Hilsa and her lifes journey.

Hopefully the authorities would make sure that precious lives are not lost to jostling at the harbor or otherwise. This hilsa rush or gold rush is frantically paced and lives are risked for mere handful of money.

Bangladesh and infrastructural problems present modern engineering a perfect opportunity for testing their worth.
