Fishermen near Shah Porir Dwip in Teknaf caught 101 maunds of hilsa fish in a single haul on Sunday afternoon. The catch was brought to the island’s jetty, where local traders purchased the fish for about Tk 3.3 million. The fish, weighing between 500 grams and over one kilogram each, were caught by the trawler ‘FB Dwip,’ owned by Abul Kalam of Jaliapara. The trawler, led by skipper Nurul Islam, had gone to sea on Friday morning with 15 fishermen and made the large catch early Sunday.
Local fish trader Faruk bought the entire catch, according to the fishermen. Abdul Gani, president of the Shah Porir Dwip Small Fish Traders Association, said hilsa had been scarce in recent months, causing financial strain for fishermen. The large sale is expected to help recover earlier losses, and the fish are being sent to Dhaka and other districts.
The Teknaf Upazila Fisheries Office stated that government-imposed fishing bans during breeding seasons have contributed to increased hilsa production and size.
