Over-fishing and catching even the small fry of hilsa("khoka ilish" as we call it), already means that fish is very expensive even in the peak season. Only a small section of reasonably well-off Bengalis can now afford to buy it. Maybe in a few more decades, it will become extinct and we will only read about hilsa fish in history books.

It indeed has.
But it sure is always free from the coliform pathogen, unlike fish found in most north Indian ponds and lakes which are next to large human settlements !
Blinking at what the coliform pathogen is ?
Dont blink. Ignoramuses like you can easily find out from several sources that it is a virulent disease causing organism found in water where there is heavy run off from fields and grounds contaminated with human and animal excreta !
So, it should be easy to see why fish in North India is so often found to be contaminated with it, right ?

My dear piri, do you and your kin defecate rose water and sandal wood powder? Because having stayed in Karnataka for nearly 20 years I have visited most major cities in the Deccan, and I find the sewage just as obnoxious.
