Option 1- Pakistan: The national fish of Pakistan is the Tor putitora, also known as the Mahseer. So, this option is incorrect.

Option 2- India: India does not have a national fish. However, the Indian government had declared the Ganges River Dolphin as the national aquatic animal. So, option 2 is not correct.

Option 3- Bangladesh: Hilsa fish is indeed the national fish of Bangladesh. This fish is also popular in West Bengal and Assam, India. But as far as national recognition is concerned, it belongs to Bangladesh. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4- Nepal: Nepal is a landlocked country and does not have a national fish. Thus, option 4 is false.
