Fish farming on rise in Bangladesh (Daily Asian Age)

Daily Asian Age (Bangladesh) published an article on aquaculture/fish farming. Fish production in the country has increased by more than 50 percent in the last 11 years. An IFPRI study (See IFPRI book, The Making of a Blue Revolution in Bangladesh: Enablers, Impacts, and the Path Ahead for Aquaculture) made an interesting observation while reviewing the Bangladesh fish farming sector: More than two million people out of the approximately eight million who moved out of the poverty trap during the last decade were directly facilitated by aquaculture. In other words, it is the role of fisheries in food security that makes this sector so uniquely distinctive.
