WB: Spiralling fuel cost spells doom for hilsa popn
The steep hike in fuel prices is taking a toll on hilsa health in the Indian waters of the Bay of Bengal as fishermen cast their nets in shallow waters along the coastline instead of venturing deep into the sea for the catch. They are also using finer nets that trap the juvenile hilsa instead of the larger nets that allow the small ones to escape.
