Banned Chinese nets choke Dhaleshwari

Although fishing with “China duari”, or Chinese nets, is prohibited, their use remains widespread in the Dhaleshwari River. The fine-meshed nets trap fish of all sizes, from fry to fully grown.

Local residents along the Dhaleshwari River in Manikganj say fish stocks have declined due to pollution and the dry season, forcing many to resort to banned Chinese nets. Photo: Mahmud Zaman Ovi
