Kolkata. Feb. 3 WEST Bengal has identified Howrah, North 24 - Parganas and Dinajpur for farming of ornamental fish. The State tops in ornamental fish exports. Addressing the India International Seafood Show - 2006 organised jointly by the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) and the Seafood Exporters Association of India, the State Fisheries Minister, Mr Kiranmay Nanda, said that to promote sea fishing the State Government has developed five new fishing harbours. The six one is under construction and will be operational soon. The State has 158 km long coastline dotted with creeks. The coastline also include world's largest delta at the Sunderbans.
