Hilsa spawned fewer eggs this year due to irregular rainfall pattern: Fisheries Adviser

Climate change is having a severe impact on agriculture, food security, and livelihoods in Bangladesh, according to a Adviser to the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, Farida Akhter.
This is demonstrated by the decreased spawning of Hilsa eggs this year due to irregular rainfall, she added.
Akhter was speaking as the guest of honour at the 2nd Climate Justice Rally organised by Aamra (Dhara), a citizen organisation on environment and climate change, at the auditorium of Liberation War Museum in Agargaon in Dhaka on Saturday.
