Fisheries and Livestock Minister Mohammad Amin Ur Rashid today spoke at a press conference at the conference room of the ministry. As a result of the successful implementation of these activities, the minister said hilsa production has continued to boost and has increased to 5 lakh metric tonnes in the fiscal 2024-25. “More than 80 percent of the world's total hilsa production comes from the country's rivers, estuaries and seas. This time, the theme has been set as 'If we stop Jatka fishing, the sea and rivers will be filled with hilsa.' Amin Ur Rashid said Jatka fishing, transportation and sale are completely prohibited from November 1 to June 30.
