Bangladesh has emerged as the world's third largest producer of fish from natural sources. This information was disclosed in the report released on 9 July by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO. China and India are ranked one and two respectively. Two years ago, Bangladesh was the fifth place to produce fish of natural origin. Now, the main contribution behind the major development was the Hilsa.
According to the report, The State of Fish and Aquaculture - 2012, Bangladesh is now fourth in the process of fisheries and natural resources. Bangladesh has kept this position for four years. And Bangladesh is in fifth position as a farmer only.
F.O.O. and Fisheries experts in Bangladesh say that the production of fish obtained from river-haor-banned-bills and other open water bodies has played a major role in the development of the hilsa. In Bangladesh, 10,48 thousand tons of fish are produced from natural sources in Bangladesh in 2017. Hilsa was about 5 lakh tons. Hilsa production increased by almost one and a half million tonnes in three years due to the creation of new government sanctuaries and hilsa to stop the eradication of Jatka.

The leader of their team leader Foor Asia and Pacific Regional Officer Susanna Siyar talked with the first light. In evaluating this success of Bangladesh in producing sweet water fish, the scientists of Bangladesh have played an important role in increasing fish production from natural sources. Apart from this, the success of Bangladesh in the production of Hilsa has played a major role in this position.
