Abstract

The push net (PN)fishery in Bangladesh provides Penaeus monodon post-larvae (PL) for supply to a large number of coastal shrimp farmers. The collection of post-larvae therefore means jobs and incomes for a large number of the rural poor in Bangladesh, mainly women and children. But the PNfishery is extremely destructive to the marine resource. Reason: More than 95 percent of the catch consists of juveniles of commercially important marine and brackishwater fin and shellfishes. These get discarded — a waste of precious biological resources.
