Hilsa fishing is forbidden in the whole country including Chandpur from midnight. In order to increase the production of Hilsa and to give the opportunity to lay eggs, Hilsa fishing will be banned for a total of 22 days from midnight on Sunday, October 4 to October 25 in the whole country including Chandpur.
Last September 22, the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock Public Relations Officer Iftekhar Hossain gave this information.
He said the government has decided to ban all types of fishing, including Hilsa, for a total of 22 days during the main breeding season of Hilsa from October 4 to 25 this year. During this time, procurement, marketing, transportation, purchase and sale, exchange, and storage of Hilsa will also be prohibited across the country.
A total of 15 to 17 days before and after the full moon of the month of Ashwin is the real-time for laying Hilsa eggs.
At that time, Hilsa came rushing to the river from the sea. Considering this time, the government has banned Hilsa fishing for a total of 22 days this year as every year. At this time, the government has instructed to stop all kinds of fishing, including Hilsa, in all the rivers of the country to give the Hilsa a chance to lay eggs easily.
