Rameswaram, Apr 15 (ANI): Fishermen in Tamil Nadu on Friday began 45-day fishing ban in order to enable fish breeding. The fishing season ended on a sore note as the Sri Lankan naval authorities detained hundreds of fishermen on terms of illegal fishing and entering territorial waters of the island nation. As per local media reports, nearly 10,000 boats would not go for fishing during the one-and-a-half-month ban, aimed at facilitating fish breeding and conservation of fish stock in the marine ecosystem. The ban began on Friday and would remain in force till May 29.
