Bangladesh, India and Myanmar must work together for better conservation, production and management of hilsa, as they produce more than 90 percent of global production, said officials at a regional seminar in Dhaka yesterday.
Bangladesh alone produces 60 percent, India 20 percent and Myanmar 15 percent of total hilsa in the world, they added.
There must be a proper trans-boundary unique management system involving the governments concerned for conservation of hilsa spawning; otherwise production cannot be boosted up, they observed at the first day of a two-day regional seminar. (Courtesy of The Daily Star)
