The marine community knows that a 65-day ban on all types of fishing in the sea, including Hilsa, has been started from May 20 to July 23 this year to ensure the proper reproduction, production, and preservation of marine resources. Due to curiosity, I have started to explore the significance of the 65-day fishing ban period introduced in Bangladesh in 2015; I came across an intriguing observation: the growth rates appeared to decline after the ban was implemented, contrary to what was expected from this management strategy. This finding led me to question the effectiveness of relying solely on a 65-day ban without addressing the internal challenges that might hinder the desired outcomes.
