Fishing associations have called on the prime minister to re-consider the ban. They are also asking for compensation.

Fish, such as hilsa, forms an important part of local diets and is also processed for export.

Hilsa, a kind of herring, used to be abundant in the waters along the Bay of Bengal but stocks have declined in recent decades due to overfishing. Bangladesh is responsible for about 60% of the total catch globally and the market for hilsa is worth more than $2bn.

Is Hilsa fish similar to Basa or Salmon?....these two types are very popular here among the desi community in Vancouver.

 

 

hilsa is a small fish .. mostly lives along the shore ,  in brackish water 

all bongs are mad about this .. tasted few times freely but definitely overrated
