Proper utilisation of fish, shrimp wastes stressed
The domestic fish production in Bangladesh has been steadily growing for several years with significant impact on GDP growth and ability of the country to meet the nutritional needs of its citizens.
The country is, however, yet to start reaping the benefits from fish wastes producing an important range of byproducts using those as raw materials.
