Answer 1

Two natural factors that have favoured the development of fishing industry in Bangladesh are:

1. Bangladesh is situated at the head of the Indian Ocean, and it has the world's largest flooded wetland and large aquatic biodiversity in Asia.
2. It has a vast continental shelf and a large number of islands off the coast of the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta which provide suitable conditions for fishing.
