The Importance of Wild Fisheries For Local Food Security: Bangladesh
The world’s largest flooded wetland, the Bengal Delta, and the three main river systems that flow from the Himalayas into the Bay of Bengal contribute to Bangladesh having the third greatest aquatic fish biodiversity in Asia. Bangladesh’s fisheries represent almost 7% of the world’s inland fish production. The fisheries sector makes important contributions to the country’s food security, nutritional status and economic growth through income generation, employment, and foreign exchange.
