Fishermen have not been able to catch a single line in the sea for several days. As a result, prices have started to rise slowly. Also, due to the breeding season, the hilsa catch will stop for about three weeks starting on October 14. Still, the fishermen are in a kind of anxiety. However, they believe there will be enough hilsa on the next full moon tide.

The representative from Kalapara (Patuakhali) said that not enough hilsa is being caught in the Bay of Bengal adjacent to Kuakata. For this reason, hilsa is sold at high prices in the fishing port of Alipore-Mahipur.

Going to the place, it was seen that many fisherman trawlers were lying on the Shivbaria river of Alipur and Mahipur. “There are no fish in the sea,” said Idris Hawlader, a fisherman with FB Trawler. I have only received two ounces of fish in the last week. So I went back to shore with the trawler.

Said the owner of the trawler. Abul Hossain said: “Fishermen are struggling to provide food and other expenses, including fuel for trawlers.”

Owner of Mahipur Fisheries’ Messrs. Faisal Fish ‘. Fazlur Rahman Gazi said: ‘When it comes to hilsa, its price is high. At present, an ounce of hilsa weighing one kg or more is sold at a price of 40,000 taka. He said, although hilsa is not available now, hilsa will be available on the next full moon tide. Because then the sea level will rise. And as the height increases, the hilsa approaches the coast.

The representative of Patharghata (Barguna) said that many trawlers are not going to fish hilsa in the sea for fear that the cost will not go up. The owner of a trawler named Anwar Hossain said that a trawler went out on Saturday morning. The total cost is Rs. But the fish was found for 40 lakhs.

Golam Mostafa Chowdhury, Chairman of the Barguna District Trawler Owners Association, said: “The ban on sea fishing ended on July 23rd. But due to the unfavorable weather, the fishermen were unable to fish for about two weeks. Sometimes fish were found for about two weeks. Now the fishermen return empty-handed.

The representative of Char Fashion (Bhola) said that the hilsa is not being trapped in rivers or seas as before. Because of this, the price of hilsa has gone up. Yesterday at Sluice Ghat Betua Matsya Ghat, Samraj and the isolated island Dhalchar Hawladar Ghat, a hali hilsa weighing more than one kg was sold for four to four thousand five hundred rupees. Abdus Salam Hawladar, president of the Dhalchar Hawladar Fishermen’s Warehouse Association, said: ‘Hilsa is being caught less now; So the price is a bit high. Even then, it’s available to the people. ‘
