Abstract

The exotic taste of Hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha, Clupeidae) makes it one of the most economically significant edible fish communities found in the water of Bengal estuaries. A large part of the local inhabitants in and around the southern zones of West Bengal depends on the production of Hilsa in the estuarine water. However it has been reported recently that the average dimension of individuals from this Hilsa shad community are on a decline than those found in Bangladesh waters [1].
