9.3.3.2 Over Exploitation

Over-exploitation of fishery resources, due to its extraordinary economic value, has been a causative factor exacerbating the vulnerability of the population in different ecosystems. Tor spp. and Schizothorax spp. in upland waters, Notopterus chitala, Ompok pabda, Pangasius pangasius, Eutropiichthys vacha and Semiplotus semiplotus in warm waters, Mugil cephalus, Liza tade, Nematolosa nasus and Lates calcarifer in brackish water areas are declining at a faster rate.
