dc.description.abstract | The aim of the present study is to understand the people’s dependency on Hilsa fishery as their livelihood and to suggest the appropriate measures for its conservation and economic sustainability. The anadromous Hilsa enjoys the highest attraction due to its unique taste, flavour, and culinary properties. About 15-20 per cent of global Hilsa catch is reported by India. Though, a report revealing the decline of Hilsa yield, bountiful harvest of samewas reported in Brahmaputra river of Dhubri district. The primary data of 30 Hilsa fishers have been selected randomly to study the economic status, constraints faced by them, exploitation level. About 40% of respondents involved in both fishing and agriculture and 30% are only engaged in fishing. About 63.33% of fishers owned motorised boats and the gear used for Hilsa fishing is monofilament Gill net with mesh size 7cm to 12 cm. About 63.66% of respondents are found to be perennial fishers. The average Hilsa landing is 6.25 tonnes in one landing centre during the Hilsa season. The economic analysis shows that motorised boat owners have highest B:C ratio (1.7) against traditional fishers (1.4) during Hilsa season. Overcrowding of fishers during Hilsa season, Price fluctuations, lack of weighing system, Small and unhygienic auctioning centre, etc. are some of the constraint faced by the Hilsa fishers. Implementation of Licence system onnumber of boats to be operated, measures for habitat restoration, check on mess size regulationshave to be given focus to make the Hilsa fishery economical and sustainable. | en_US |
