রাঙ্গাবালীতে জেলের জালে ডানাওয়ালা মাছ!:banglanews24


পটুয়াখালীর রাঙ্গাবালীতে জেলের জালে ডানাওয়ালা বিরল প্রজাতির একটি মাছ ধরা পড়েছে। উপজেলার চরমোন্তাজ ইউনিয়নের বুড়াগৌরাঙ্গ নদীতে জেলে মান্নান হোসেন জালে মাছটি ধরা পরে। 

স্থানীয় সূত্রে জানা গেছে, প্রতিদিনের মতো জেলে মান্নান হোসেন মাছ ধরার জন্য নদীতে জাল ফেলেন। এক পর‌্যায়ে জাল ওঠাতেই মাছটি ধরা পড়ে। হাত পাখার মতো দেখতে মাছটিকে দেখতে অনেকটা বিরল প্রজাতির বলে দাবি করছেন স্থানীয়রা।
পরে মাছটি স্থানীয় স্লুইস বাজারে নিয়ে গেলে খবর ছড়িয়ে পরলে এক নজর দেখার মানুষ ভিড় জমাতে থাকে। তবে কেউ মাছটির বৈজ্ঞানিক নাম বলতে পারেনি।
মান্নান হোসেন বলেন, হঠাৎ জালে মাছটি ধরা পড়ে। স্থানীয়রা এটিকে ‘কাউয়া মাছ’ বলে। তবে তিনি মাছটি বিক্রি না করে পরিবারের জন্য নিয়ে গেছেন।
