| Abstract: | This study assesses the condition of the fishing industry in Pakistan. It briefly reviews the ecological environment of Pakistan's
fisheries and describes recent developments in technology and their impact on the catch. The factors contributing to growth
include government efforts, fleet expansion and development of export markets. This study also points out the difficulties
in arriving at a satisfactory management policy for the regulation of the industry. Development strategies seek rational,
efficient exploitation of marine resources for the broad goals of national development. Consequently, policy makers' fisheries
management concepts and techniques are generally less effective in addressing the need of the coastal communities. The conclusion
is that fisheries development effort need balanced resource management, serving as an instrument for regional development
while taking into account the traditional resource use rights of small-scale fishermen. |
