Chandbali, April 15: The state government has decided to prohibit fishing by mechanized vessels for a period of two months to conserve fish stock in the sea during the breeding season.  As the breeding season of marine fish begins from April 15 to June 15 every year, the authorities banned fishing in the sea during the period to protect fish wealth. Accordingly, the fishermen have been advised not to enter the sea during the ban period. The boat owners will face action for violation of the order. Notably, marine fisheries are allowed only for 135 days a year for which fishermen dependent on the sea face hardship in coastal districts of Odisha. Fishing activities also come to halt from November 15 to June 15 every year due to the breeding season of sea turtles on the surface.
