Fishers lay nets in the Halda, the lone natural source of carp breeding in South Asia, to collect fish eggs. Inset, a man shows off his haul. Brood fish in the river released sample eggs -- indicating full spawning -- at several points of the river yesterday. Normally, they release eggs during the last week of April or the beginning of May every year. The photos were taken in Chattogram’s Hathazari area. Photo: Rajib Raihan
