| dc.description | Bangladesh, a country of 143,999 km2 and with a population of about 130 million people, lies in the northeastern part of Southeast Asia. The flat delta is traversed by a network of 230 rivers; their tributaries flood most of the country during the monsoon season (June-September). It is a country of fish-eating people with very diverse and rich fish farms. It has vast water resources. The fisheries consists of inland capture, marine capture and inland aquaculture. Aquaculture production of 2 64,190 mt represents about 24 percent of the total fisheries production of over 1.0 million mt (1993-94). During the last decade, aquaculture production has increased by over 100 percent. The fisheries sector is very important to the national economy as it generates over US$300 million in foreign exchange, mainly through export of cultured shrimp, in addition to its contribution to national food security. The aquaculture sub-sector has very good potential for further development. | |
