IMPORTANCE OF THE COASTLINE TO PAKISTAN. • The coastline of Pakistan is of great importance.• The port of Karachi and port Qasim are located on

this coastline and handle all the sea borne trade of Pakistan.

• The coastline is important for fishing as well.• The fishing industry gives employment to a large

number of people living along the coast.• Gwadar port is being developed on the Baluchistan

coast.


The Traditional Fishing Methods• The traditional method of marine fishing is the use of sail boats

which can go only upto 5 kms in the sea.• Old type of nets are used.

• Types or species of fish which are caught• The fish caught are herring, mackerel, cod, lobsters, crabs, shrimps,

drums, crockers, catfish, skates and rays.


Developments in both fishing methods and fishing operations. • The modern methods include the use of motorized boats and

trawlers.• These boats can go upto 50 kms in the sea and use gill-netters. • The government has helped to develop the infrastructure at

Korangi, Karachi, Gwadar fish harbours.• Facilities for storage, packing and preservation have been

provided.• Trawlers have increased the shrimp catch which is an

important export item. • The number of motorized boats, trawlers and gill-netters have

greatly increased .


The Main Features and developments,along The Sind Coast• Sindh and Makran coasts are important fishing

grounds. • The Sindh coast is smaller, about 30% of the coast

line, but produces 70% of the marine catch.The Sindh coast is rich in fishing because it has numerous creeks and inlets.The continental shelf is broad along the Indus delta which is richer in fish food.

• Karachi has better processing and exporting facilities.• Korangi fish harbour has also been developed.


The Main Features and developments,along Makran coasts

• The Makran coast is rich in fish. Butfishermen are able to catch limited amount because of old methods.

• Pasni,Gwadar, Jiwani, Ormara and Sonmiani are important fishing ports along theMakran coast.

• Gwadar is being developed as a fishing port and the government is trying to improve the infrastructure for marine fishing.

• Storage, packing and preservation facilities are being provided.


Expansion of Inland Fishing areas of Pakistan, (during recent years.)

• Inland fishing have been developed in Punjab and Sindh recently.

• Inland fishing has shown a marked increase during recent years and the catch has more than doubled between 1985 to 2000.

• Inland fish is all for local consumption.• The expansion has taken place because of

increase in population and increase in demand of fish.


Jobs because of Fishing

Boat making and oreMaking

Maintenance of boats(Technicians and Mechanics)

Drying and salting fishLaboring

(Labourers)


Fish Products

• Food Supply a low cholesterol diet.• Fish waste is used to make fertilizer.• Fish Oil is used in different medicines because it contains Vitamin A

and D.• As bait fish


Fishing Season

• Fishing is done in the big boats through out the year however from May to September

• small boats fishermen do not go far away.• It is also breeding season.


Old Fish Processing Method at Gawader• Initially the standard process for preserving fish in Gwader was

salting and drying.• But after 1970 it has been replaced with freezing which is only

possible by ice factories.


Ice Factories at Makran Coastline• 6 at Gwader• 1 at Sur Bander• 2 in Jiwani• 4 in Pasni• 3 in Ormara• 16 = Total


Fish Marketing

• Sri Lanka• China• Hong Kong• Koria• Pakistani markets and streets.


Problems Faced By Fishing Industry• Following problems faced by fishing Industry.1) Water Pollution2) Over-fishing3) Thread to Mangroves4) Weak infrastructure5) Lack of Knowledge6) Traditional Methods


1-Water Pollution

• Karachi is most affected area.• Waste of chemical industries caused pollution.• Toxic Materials and Heavy Materials like nickle,cadmium ete have

been found in sea animals including fish.• It also affects the rivers of Pakistan.• Thousands of fish became blinds due to water pollution.


2-Over-fishing

• Over fishing of shrimps through out the year and even in the breeding season.

• In a long term it limits the production of shrimps.


3-Thread to Mangroves

• They protect the coastlines from high and Low tides.• These are the abode of fish and shrimps but due to water pollution

they are decaying.


4-Weak infrastructure

• Both in Sindh and Makran coastlines the infrastructure is poor and weak.

• It does not meet with the world standard level, as a result fishing industry shares only 0.9% of the total GDP.


5-Lack of Knowledge

• Mostly fisher-men do not have proper knowledge about the fish and fishing.

• As a result they catch low fish.


6-Traditional Methods

• These are the main hurdle in the way to maximize the fish quantity.


• In inland areas of Pakistan, fish farming has expanded during recent years. Explain why this expansion has taken place?

• Describe the traditional fishing methods and give examples of the types or species of fish which are caught.

• Describe the developments which have taken place during recent years in both fishing methods and the range of fishing operations
