PAKISTAN FISHERIES REVITALIZATION
The underlying potential of Pakistan’s fisheries and aquatic resources is not reflected in current production, growth, and value. A leading challenge is the serious over-exploitation of marine fisheries stocks due to overcapacity in fishing fleets, illegal fishing methods, and lack of surveillance and licensing. No certification body for Marine Stewardship Certification (MSC) at present exists […]

MANGROVES REHABILITATION PROGRAMME
Mangroves are a group of trees and shrubs that live in the coastal intertidal zone. A unique mix of marine and terrestrial species lives in Mangal ecosystems. The still, sheltered waters among the mangrove roots provide protection, breeding, feeding, and nursery areas for fish, crabs, shrimp and other species important to commercial and recreational fisheries.
STUDY OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are responsible for losses to natural resources and coastal economies. Amnesic shellfish poisoning is an illness caused by the consumption of a marine biotoxin called domoic acid. In mammals, including humans, domoic acid acts as a neurotoxin, causing permanent short-term memory loss, brain damage, and death in severe cases. Neurotoxic Shellfish […]
