Wild Marine Harvesting in the Bay of Bengal: Sustainability & Traceability
Discover how marine fisheries operate in the Bay of Bengal: traditional artisanal fleets, seasonal bans, zero-chemical landing protocols, and chain-of-custody tracking.
Ecological richness of the Bay of Bengal waters
The Bay of Bengal represents one of the world's most productive tropical marine ecosystems. Heavy river discharges from the Himalayas carry nutrient-dense sediments that feed rich benthic marine food webs, resulting in wild fish with superior swim bladder development.
Seasonal conservation: 65-day annual fishing bans
To protect marine spawning grounds, Bangladesh enforces a nationwide 65-day marine fishing ban every year (May 20 to July 23). We respect this biological moratorium, stockpiling raw inventory ethically prior to the ban.
Artisanal longline and gillnet fishing methods
Over 80% of our raw supply originates from small-scale coastal artisanal longline and selective gillnet fishermen, avoiding destructive bottom trawling and delivering undamaged swim bladders directly to landing docks.
Chain of custody: From dock landing to export carton
Each landing lot is recorded by vessel ID, landing date, species, and gross weight upon arrival at our Chattogram processing facility. This internal traceability code is stamped on final master export cartons.
