A fisherman named Ishak Haldar from Goalanda in Rajbari district caught a 24-kilogram Katla fish in the Padma River early Thursday morning. The fish was caught around 3 a.m. near the Daulatdia river confluence. Later, it was taken to the Daulatdia fish market, where it was auctioned for Tk 2,650 per kilogram, totaling Tk 63,650. Local fish trader Chand Molla purchased the fish and later sold it to a businessman in Dhaka’s Gulshan area at a small profit. Such large Katla fish have become rare in recent times, drawing crowds of curious onlookers to see the catch. The fisherman and trader both expressed satisfaction with the price received for the fish.
