The case is reversed in deep sea fishing...

Bangladesh lags behind neighbours in marine fishing due to lack of modern vessels, experts say

Bangladeshi fishermen caught a mere 73,000 tonnes of fish last year compared to 8 million tonnes by India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Thailand.

"Our wooden fishing trawlers can travel to maximum 30 kilometers off shore whereas we have a maritime boundary of 664 km," said Khurshid Alam, secretary of foreign ministry's maritime affairs unit.

He presented the keynote paper at the seminar on blue economy in Chittagong on Saturday.

Bangladesh has established sovereign rights on over more than 118,000 sq km of maritime territory, 200 nautical miles (NM) of exclusive economic zone, and 354 NM of continental shelf through international court verdicts in the past couple of years.

It has raised hopes of extracting “plenty of resources” from the Bay of Bengal, which Bangladesh considers to be its “third neighbor”.

Bangladesh, however, lacks expertise and technology to exploit the resources.

Alam noted that lack of modern vessels and technology meant "we cannot get anything out of 600 sq km maritime area".


At present the global fishing market is $100 billion, he said adding some of Bangladesh's neighbours caught a huge amount of fish from Bangladesh's waters.

Alam emphasized use of deep sea fishing vessels and long line ships to introduce efficiency in collecting fish resources.

We call this Pomfret, it's really good, but costly now.

Also try Bhetki, especially Bhetki Paturi or fishfry. :)
