Analysis of the constraints to and potentials and opportunities for expanded fish production in Bangladesh
01. The purpose of this study is to bring together in summary form all the pertinent information relating to the fisheries sector of Bangladesh to examine its potentials for and constraints to further development. The present and future potential contribution of the fisheries sector to fish supplies are analysed with a view to determine how such potentials can be economically tapped to benefit the people. 02. Having examined the resource base as well as recognising the urgent need and demand f or fish, constraints to expanded fish production are then critically evaluated. After detailed examination of the development potentials and opportunities, especially in terms of feasibility, a plan and programme of actions and strategy is outlined for government consideration. 03. In sum, this study presents the analysis of the potentials and opportunities for greater fish production in the country's waters, especially inland waters. Growth in capture fish production in Bangladesh has been lo w, even insignificant to keep pace with demand and need for fish. In fact, inland capture fisheries which historically had been supplying about three-fourth of the country's fish landings has steadily declined at about 2 % each year over the last 5 years. 04. Causes or factors responsible for the slow and/or stagnating growth in the country's fish supply by types of fisheries and waters are reviewed. These constraints to higher fish output are clearly identified and alternative measures are re commended in overcoming them.
