Hilsa is expensive in pakistan too. Its adequate size costs 4 to 5000 rs here that can be eaten by 2 to 3 people.

In case Palla or Hilsa, we catch them before they lay eggs.Some fish possess this behavior. Pacific Salmon also do this (lay eggs upstream in the rivers, in this case Columbia river).
If we don't eat them, they will die after spawning (most migrating fish species are like these, juveniles stay in freshwater, adults swim out to sea and return for spawning in freshwater). Sockeye Pacific Salmon are a great example. Consuming rather than wasting fish is better.

I agree and beef ban is idiotic political.gimmick. it should be lifted.Beef ban by Hindus is a recent practice. During vedic times and also well into the fifteenth, sixteenth century AD there was no beef ban AFAIK. People say this was done so cows could be saved for draft animal agricultural use.
Stand against this injustice and complain!!

In Pakistan, this fish is cought in Sindh province. The destination however, is Attok river. So you see. Some might scape each year.Here is a PDF of the Hilsa study done by IUCN conservation group. Excellent source for studying the subject.

If the spawning doesn't occur, then there won't be new baby fishes born. Your information may not be fully correct.
Cooked aroma, not uncooked. The flavor comes from buttery fish oil after it is cooked in Mustard sauce. You don't need oil to cook it. It will cook in its own oil.
NYC also have their own variety in their rivers in the summer. They are called 'Shad'. However tropical variety and NYC variety have huge difference in cooked taste. Hilsa found in Kolkata locally also don't taste as good and of course command a lot lower price.
Palla is a Sindhi specialty, and reportedly from Hyderabad in Pakistan. Haven't tasted it though to compare with Hilsa.

Palla hilsa hilsha, same fish. This poor creature comes from Indian sea to lay eggs, and boom. May be they don't know we like them so much.

Actually I have some Bengali friends, that's why I knew this fish and its counterpart in Pakistan. No body knows hilsha in Pakistan, and palla(hilsha) is only known in Sindh region.I heard about the Shad although never tasted it. But from my previous reading Shad is similar to Hilsha but NOT Hilsha. Also Youtube videos show Shad being caught by fishing hook. Hilsha can't be caught with fishing rod and hook as it does not take bait.
The Pakistani Palla seems to be Hilsha.
Apparently Hilsha is also available in the Persian Gulf, caught by Iraqi fishermen ans sold in Basra, Iraq. As per the link below it's locally called Saboor and also the National Fish of Iraq. Looks like Iraqis too appreciate the fish.

So Hilsha is known in Pakistan and also seems to be popular? So why so many of these Pakistani members pretend as if they don't know nothing about it?

Never tried it. My go to choices for fish are salmon and cod.
Hilsa is Salmon equivalent for East India and Bangladesh. Its unique cooked aroma and taste make it the king of fish. Salmon is Western king of fish. Hilsa is Eastern king of fish.
