Good News for the West Bengal Fishermen
With the late beginning of the storm in Kolkata, fish sweethearts needed to go to other fish as there was very little stockpile of hilsa. Notwithstanding, the huge catch in the Digha and Precious Stone Harbor estuaries, throughout recent days, markets in Kolkata are at last seeing enough hilsa.
A few brokers professed to have seen most hilsa in the market on Monday. They added that the stockpile of hilsa will be kept up for the following couple of days. This is the initial time this year that such a lot of hilsa was trapped in the Digha estuary.
There has been a decent stockpile of hilsa in business sectors including Maniktala, Hatibagan, Gariahat, Kasba, Bhavanipur, and Ashubabur Bazar. The cost of the fish was similar in each market, contingent upon the size.
- In the four-five days following that, the catch presently weighed 150 tons.
- This enormous catch has been found in Digha and was sold at the Digha Estuary fish sell-off Center.
- The heaviness of the fish got on Friday, Saturday and Sunday is around 1 kg to 1.2 kg per fish.
In any case, fisherfolk are the most joyful parcel given the ascent in the cost of hilsa. An angler from Digha expressed, “Ordinarily in the long stretch of Shravan, hilsa is accessible in overflow. Accordingly, hilsa will come before very long and the size of hilsa fish will be a lot greater.”
Hilsa fish was not seen like that in earlier years. Anglers and fishing vessel administrators are expecting more hilsa to show up in the Digha estuary before very long.
Notwithstanding, regardless of whether the inventory of hilsa is expanded to cover the deficiency, purchasers are suspicious whether the cost of the delicacy will diminish.
In addition, they are worried about how the fish will taste. Regardless, one thing is clear fish sweethearts are running to business sectors to get a bagful of Ilish.
“The hilsa get has been ideal because of the breeze and sprinkle for a few sequential days. Subsequently, the arrival of hilsa in the fishing nets has been gigantic. It is trusted that a lot of hilsa will come up in the following couple of weeks.”
