The yield of Hilsa fish in West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district has seen a significant decline this season. Fishermen are currently netting 25-30 tonnes per day, a sharp drop from 50 tonnes two years ago. This decline has raised concerns among local fishermen.
Despite the drop in local yield, fishermen’s organizations believe that city markets will not face immediate supply issues. Shipments from Bangladesh, which typically cross the border during the September-October festive season, are expected to continue as usual.
Bijan Maity, general secretary of the Kakdwip Matsya Unnayan Samity, reported that among the 1,000 trawlers operating in the Kakdwip-Diamond Harbour area, around 70 have been actively fishing for Hilsa since mid-June.
