Feni: Experts have provided alarming information on shrimp. But not all shrimp.
Gelatin, chemically pushed shrimp. Public health experts claim that eating these shrimp can lead to deadly diseases like cancer.
Recently, a mobile court seized one and a half kilograms of silica gel shrimp at the Feni municipal fish market. Four commission agents have to pay the fine. However, they claim they are not involved in it.
One of the suppliers confirmed that the traders mainly imported shrimp from Khulna, Satkhira district to Feni. Although these shrimp look beautiful, almost all the fish are adulterated. These anti-adulteration campaigns are carried out from time to time. Fines are imposed, adulterated shrimp are also confiscated, but not stopped.
Feni District Fisheries Officer Aminul Islam said he also ate shrimp mixed with adulterated products. But please understand the difference in taste after eating.
The district fishery officer further said that the liquid was injected into the shrimp with a syringe using some low-quality chemicals along with the agar. That hardens after being placed on ice, gains weight and becomes lovely. As a result of such dishonesty, shrimp are now also suffering severe export damage.
Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Inspiration Science at Chittagong University. Mohammad Rezwanul Haque said that agar is not harmful to the body. However, other harmful chemicals can harm the human body. It can be a deadly disease like cancer.
Students and fisheries researcher at the Department of Marine Sciences at Chittagong University. Riyadh Hossain said a jelly-like liquid called carboxymethyl was injected into the shrimp’s tail and throat. Gradually gain weight by holding the size of the object. It was first used in 2005 in China and Vietnam. As the United States tightens its grip on China’s main export market, so does China.
AHM Moniruzzaman, director of Pisina Biotech Research and Development Company and fisheries expert, told banglanews that silica gel and sagudana are also used in shrimp. However, silica primarily controls moisture. It is mainly used in factories. Which is extremely harmful to the human body.
Hasan, the owner of Mostafa Fishing, said the price of shrimp is determined based on the size and weight of the fish. The use of chemicals increases the weight of the fish, it is lovely.
Nurul Islam from Adarsh Fish Market said with an example about the benefits of jellyfish, 10 shrimp instead of 12 become one kg. This leads to an extra price per kg and additional income as a result of the weight gain. Profits increase between 25 and 30 percent.
A commission agent, who did not want to be named, said the shrimp meat shrank and weakened after the eggs were released. When chemicals are used, they look plump and the fish doesn’t feel dark, they gain weight.
A leader of the Feni Fisheries Markets Association, who did not want to be named, said chemicals were mixed in the shrimp area around the fence. The workers work at the rate of Rs 40 per hour.
Swapan, a shrimp supplier in Feni, said the fish supplied by Khulna contains the most adulterated ingredients. Here, a circle mixes adulterated products into the shrimp as soon as it leaves the enclosure and enclosure.
Fisheries researcher. Riyadh Hossain said that although carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is edible, it is mainly used in the furniture and printing industries. However, due to the presence of heavy metals in it, it damages the liver, kidneys and blood of the human body. This can cause cancer.
Dr. Mohammad Rezwanul Haque said that although CMC is digested by animals, there is no enzyme in the human body to digest it.
Feni Sadar Upazila Fisheries Officer Syed Mostafa Zaman said that silica jelly causes serious illness by damaging the excretory system of the human body.
