The government of Bangladesh has announced a 58-day ban on all types of fishing in the Bay of Bengal and adjacent areas, effective from April 15 to June 11, 2026. Fisheries and Livestock Minister Mohammad Aminur Rashid made the announcement at a press conference held at the Secretariat on Monday, during the launch of ‘Jatka Conservation Week 2026’.
The minister said the conservation week, themed ‘Stop catching jatka, fill rivers and seas with hilsa,’ will be observed from April 7 to 13 across 20 hilsa-rich districts. During this period, authorities will monitor activities from the sea to local markets to prevent illegal jatka catching, trading, and storage. Additionally, a 22-day ban on jatka catching, transport, and sale will remain in place until June 30 to protect breeding fish.
Rashid also noted that no decision has yet been made regarding hilsa exports to India during the Bengali month of Baishakh, and that the matter will be decided by the Prime Minister’s Office.
