The government has imposed an 11-day ban on catching, selling and transportation of Hilsa from October 5-15, across the country to ensure safe spawning and protect mother fish.
Fisheries and Livestock Minister Muhammed Sayedul Hoque made the announcement while talking to reporters before a meeting on preservation of Hilsa at Mathsaya Bhaban in the city on Tuesday.
The ministry issued a gazette notification in this regard on September 18.
Since the Hilsa lay eggs in plenty during this period (Ashwin-Kartik, five days before and after of Baro Purnima), the government imposed the ban on catching it at four points of the coastal area to preserve the delicious fish.
Law-enforcing agencies were given directives in this regard, said the Minister.
