What is Fish? Fish can be defined as cold-blooded

vertebrate adapted for living in water. It respires by means of gills and has paired appendages, if any, in the form of fins.

OR

A limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal with gills and fins living wholly in water.

Classification of fishes:

Fish are classified into three major groups.

a) Agnathab) Chondrichtyesc) Osteichihtyes

Page 6: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Agnatha

They include 108 species, these are the primitive fish without jaws.

They are about 7 to10 species in Pakistan.

Page 7: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Chondrichythyes These are cartilaginous fishes which

includes 980 species.

There are 10-50 of Sharks, rays & skates species in Pakistan.

Examples; Sharks, Rays & skates.

Page 8: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Osterictyes

These are the modern bony fishes which includes 26,898.

The all are about 120 in Pakistan.

Examples; Salmo trutta, Onchorynious

my kiss & Schyzothoryx fishes etc.

Page 9: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont… Osteichythyes are divided into three

sub classes.

Crossopteryzei Dipnoi Actinopteryzei

Page 10: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Actinopterigii

Actinopterigii has been divided into three infra classes.

Chondrostei Holostei Teleiostei

Page 11: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Teleoistei

Most of the bony fish belong to this class, they includes 26,585 species. They are the modern boney fish which have 40 orders.

Examples; Trout, Hearing & cat fish etc

Page 12: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont… In Pakistan 1099 species are present which

belongs to class Actinoptergii, Sub class Teleostei.

Have six super order. 13 order, 30 families, 86 genera, 8 Exotic, 78 Indigenous, Endemic of Kashmir 8 species are cold water of Himalayas and Hindukush and Karakorum, total 45 in KPK, 26 are indigenous and 8 are exotic in KPK.

Fishing, Fishing capacity in Pakistan

Catching of fish is one of the oldest occupation of the people of Pakistan.

Next to forestry, fishing constitutes the smallest sector of the Pakistani economy.

Fishing is only a minor sector of Pakistani economy, constituting 0.3 percent of the GNP.

Page 14: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont… Fishing is the traditional means of

livelihood for about 400,000 Pakistanis.

At percent about ninety thousand of Pakistani are engaged in fishing profession.

The nominal fish catch comprises the commercial, industrial and subsistence catches.

Page 15: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont… Fishing in Pakistan is done at least ten

months of the year

The total nominal fish catch has increased since 1947 from 40,000 metric tons to 590,000 metric tons in 2000.

The total fish catch in thousand metric tons since 1947 is given below;

Page 17: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont… The per capita use of fish in Pakistan is

less than other countries such as Japan, UK, USA and Bangladesh.

Pakistan exports a reasonable quantity of shrimp and fish and earns a substantial amount of foreign exchange.

About 3 per cent in 1985 having fallen from 2 per cent in 1998.

Page 18: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont…

About 1.2 per cent of the total exports in 2003.

Thus during July-March 2005-06, 630,000 metric tons of fishery products were exported to more than 40 countries such as Japan, USA, UK, Germany and Middle East etc.

Page 19: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont…

The main export market for Pakistani fish and shrimp is japan.

In the interior area of Pakistan the use of fish is in very small quantity.

In Pakistan the fish consumption is more in Baluchistan & Sindh than Punjab and KPK.

Page 20: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont…

In Pakistan fish are not caught only on costal areas but some are also done in Inland areas.

There are two main sources of fish in Pakistan.

Marine fishes (Outland fishes).

Fresh water fishes (Inland fishes).

Page 21: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Marine fishing: The share of marine fisheries is 75 per

cent of the total fish catch.

The marine fishing is done in coastal areas of Sindh and Baluchistan which has a coast line of 600 miles long.

During the breeding seasons all fishing is strictly prohibited.

Page 22: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Marine fishing in coastal area of Sindh: Sindh has a coast line of about 150 mile long.

The Sindh coast account for 70% of the total marine catch although it constitutes only 33% of Pakistan's cost.

The Sindh coast has the advantage of a wider continental shelf(130 km).

Mostly fishermen live on coastal area of Sindh.

Page 23: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Marine fishing in coastal area ofBaluchistan:

This coast is about 350 miles long.

This coast is mainly consist of sand dunes due to which it is less suitable to fishing.

The chief varieties of fish caught over here are Mackerel, Sardines, Shark and herrings.

It constitutes 67% of the country’s coast but produces only 30% of the marine catch

Page 24: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Fresh water fishing: Inland fisheries produce about 26% of

the Pakistani’s total fish catch.

Sources are rivers, dams, ponds, canals and lakes.

The province of Sindh accounts for more than 60%, Punjab 39%, KPK 1% and Baluchistan virtually no inland fishing.

Page 25: Presentation on fishing & fishing capacity

Cont… Manchar lake is the largest single

source of supply for fresh water fish.

In Mangla, Tarbela and Warsak fish are also caught in large quantity.

KPK and Northern Areas are not important areas for fishing.

Hatcheries & Aquaculture: In Sindh there are two hatcheries at

Chilya and Sukkur and several nurseries one is at Mando Dero near Sukkur, the other at Husri near Hydrabad etc.

KPK has two trout hatcheries & one carp hatchery.

Punjab had six hatcheries & 22 nurseries in (1995-86).
