Hilsa Supply Trails Last Year in Barishal Markets
What happened
Barishal markets are currently seeing an increase in sea hilsa catches. Despite the peak season, supplies at major fish markets and landing stations in the Barishal division are significantly lower than the same period last year, with most of the fish now sourced from the sea. Traders noted that smaller hilsa, weighing between 400 to 700 grammes, are the most common catch, while larger, mature fish are relatively scarce.

Why it matters
The decline in the availability of mature hilsa is impacting the local market structure. While the volume of hilsa arrivals is up from the previous month, it remains far below the levels recorded at the same time last year. This trend raises questions about the sustainability of the local fishery resources.
The issues are being discussed in the city of Barishal, which is part of Bangladesh.
