Transcription

1 A Golden OpportunityOpportunityAquaculture and Fisheries in Pakistan Gleyn Bledsoe, BSE, MBA, PhD, CPA Professor, University of Idaho Barbara Rasco, BSE, PhD, LLD Professor, Washington State University

2 Pakistan s Coastline

3 Strengths Well established fresh water Aquaculture Long coastline Sindh: Nutrient Rich Baluchistan: Clean environment Abundant Labor Warm optimum temperatures Excellent market opportunities University, government, donor support Excellent Private Sector Coordination Fisheries Development Board & Individuals

4 Weaknesses Lack of available quality feed Sanitation problems Market exclusion Lack of Cold Chain and Fisheries Technology Overfishing and illegal fishing Fragmented and uncoordinated efforts

5 Opportunities Marine aquaculture provides greatest opportunity New fresh water species Development of new markets Chance to do it right

6 Chance to do it right! Learn from successes and problems of others Replicate the successes Avoid repeating the errors.

7 Threats and Barriers Overfishing Illegal methods Un Un--reported catches At Sea transfers Deliveries into Iran or other markets Unenforced regulations Harvesting juveniles Killing Future Fisheries

8 Remedies Enforce regulations Buyers (Market) not buy illegal harvests and juvenile fish. Develop fish feed technology and production

9 Existing Industry Fishermen Processors Traders and Distribution Network Integrate with Wild Harvest System

10 Markets Identify Markets Produce to market demands, Not produce and then try to find a market.

11 Aquaculture Center Concept Hatchery Growout Facilities Lease and Private Feed mill Processing Cold Storage Laboratory Training and Research

12 Pakistan s Inland Fisheries Stream/Rivers Natural lake DAMS Indus delta

13 Inland Fisheries Verities of water bodies Rivers/Stream Large River Reservoirs Dams Natural lakes Delta/Estuaries

14 Species Sweet/Fresh Water Existing Farmed Species (Rohu, Carps, etc) Tilapia (Tilapia niloticus) Pangasius (Pangasius hypophthalmus aka bocourti) Macrobrachia (Fresh Water Prawns)

36 Hatchery

37 New Raceways

38 Processing Facility Export Pack

39 Hybrid Live Holding and Shipping of Wild Harvest Lobsters Crab Shrimp Shellfish Fin Fish Tuna

40 Physical Requirements Good water Good seed Well thought out farms Hatchery Nursery Growout Processing and Distribution Facilities Cold Chain Including Transportation Initiative

41 Requirements Feed production and availability Supporting Infrastructure Government and Public Support Financial Support and Recognition Market Development Technology (Training, Demonstration, Hands On Assistance) Testing, Certification, Veterinarian Support Get Wild Harvest Industry up to standards Reputation!!!

42 Supporting Infrastructure Feed and Feed Inputs Hatcheries with certified disease free good growing stock Education System Professional Technical On going

43 Need to Implement and Execute There have been a lot of studies A lot of Planning But few physical efforts Now is the time to Shoot the Engineers and Build the Bridge! Let s make it happen!
