A fisherman in Kaptai, Rangamati, caught a massive 23-kilogram Catla fish in the Karnaphuli River on Monday evening. The fish was netted near the Koila Depot Ghat area of Chandraghona Union’s Ward No. 3 by local fisherman Ujjal Mallik while he was fishing with a traditional net. Later that night, he sold the fish to local residents at 1,000 taka per kilogram, earning a total of 23,000 taka.
Speaking by phone on Tuesday, Mallik said he had gone fishing in the afternoon and was surprised by the size of the catch. He mentioned that this was not his first large catch—he had previously caught another 23-kilogram fish in the same river. Local residents gathered to see the rare catch, which drew attention for its size and price.
Such large fish are increasingly uncommon in the Karnaphuli River, highlighting both the river’s biodiversity and the challenges faced by local fishermen due to declining fish populations.
