Fishing in Kaptai Lake begins after ban of more than 4 months
Fishing in Kaptai Lake in Rangamati resumed from Thursday midnight after the end of a ban of four months and 12 days.
Fishing in Kaptai Lake in Rangamati resumed from Thursday midnight after the end of a ban of four months and 12 days.
The local administration imposes a ban of three months every year to boost fish production.
According to Bangladesh Fisheries Development Corporation (BFDC), due to lack of rainfall breeding of mother fish and growth of spawn was hampered this year. As a result, the authorities extended the ban period by 42 more days more against normal three-month ban.
The fishermen and traders hope that a good quantity of fish will be caught from the lake stretching 715 square km this year due to suspension of fishing for a long time.
