Bangladesh is fortunate enough in having an extensive and huge freshwater resources scattered all over the country in the form of rivers, ponds, ditches, beels, lakes, haors, baors, floodplains and canals covering an area of 5,433,900 ha. The total freshwater fish production in the year 2003-04 was...
