Abstract

The demand for live fish is high in Bangladesh, and because of this the price exceeds that for iced dead fish by BDT 20–30/kg. From observations taken in February–March 2020, the amount of live food fish transported to markets in Bangladesh is estimated at about 200 mt per day. The main objective of this guide is to improve human safety during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to harvesting and transporting live fish. Other objectives include (i) providing safer methods for handling and transportation, (ii) improving animal welfare, (iii) reducing road safety hazards, and (iv) detailing methods to reduce the cost of live fish transportation.
