  • Ichthyofaunal Diversity and Conservation Status in Rivers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
    Proceedings of the International Academy of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, 2020, 10(4): 131-143 Article Ichthyofaunal diversity and conservation status in rivers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Mukhtiar Ahmad1, Abbas Hussain Shah2, Zahid Maqbool1, Awais Khalid3, Khalid Rasheed Khan2, 2 Muhammad Farooq 1Department of Zoology, Govt. Post Graduate College, Mansehra, Pakistan 2Department of Botany, Govt. Post Graduate College, Mansehra, Pakistan 3Department of Zoology, Govt. Degree College, Oghi, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] Received 12 August 2020; Accepted 20 September 2020; Published 1 December 2020 Abstract Ichthyofaunal composition is the most important and essential biotic component of an aquatic ecosystem. There is worldwide distribution of fresh water fishes. Pakistan is blessed with a diversity of fishes owing to streams, rivers, dams and ocean. In freshwater bodies of the country about 193 fish species were recorded. There are about 30 species of fish which are commercially exploited for good source of proteins and vitamins. The fish marketing has great socio economic value in the country. Unfortunately, fish fauna is declining at alarming rate due to water pollution, over fishing, pesticide use and other anthropogenic activities. Therefore, about 20 percent of fish population is threatened as endangered or extinct. All Mashers are ‘endangered’, notably Tor putitora, which is also included in the Red List Category of International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as Endangered. Mashers (Tor species) are distributed in Southeast Asian and Himalayan regions including trans-Himalayan countries like Pakistan and India. The heavy flood of July, 2010 resulted in the minimizing of Tor putitora species Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the fish is now found extinct from river Swat.

The restructuring of the local government system through the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Act 2013 is another major step forward in our efforts to make public goods and services available and accessible to everyone without any exception. We believe effective local governments work for the people and reflect their needs as closely as possible - and that is where communication is positioned to play a key role. For us, communication is an important medium to inform you about our priorities and achievements. At the same time, it goes far beyond that. We are strengthening two- way communication mechanisms to foster responsive local governments and informed citizens. Both are crucial for a meaningful dialogue. The five municipalities of Adenzai, Bahrain, Barikot, Kabal and Khwazakhela were established in 2010 as a result of re-configuration of the administrative setup in Malakand Division to address security measures and flood damages.

  • (Morels) of Utror-Gabral Valleys, District Swat, Pakistan by Muhammad Hamayun¹ and Mir Ajab Khan² ¹ Lecturer, Govt
    Studies on collection and marketing of Morchella (Morels) of Utror-Gabral Valleys, District Swat, Pakistan By Muhammad Hamayun¹ and Mir Ajab Khan² ¹ Lecturer, Govt. Degree College, Swabi, Pakistan ² Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan Address for Correspondence: Muhammad Hamayun, Lecturer in Botany, Govt. Degree College Kotha (Swabi), NWFP, Pakistan E.mail, M.Hamayun: [email protected] Abstract This paper is based on a research project carried out to study the collection and marketing status of morels in the remote HinduKush-Himalayan regions of Utror and Gabral, Pakistan. Eight species of morels were found to be collected in the project area during the months of March to July. Morchella conica and Morchella esculenta were the major species collected in the area. These morels are sold in the local markets of Madyan and Mingora, from where they are exported to France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Morels thus provide a vital source of income to the poor population of Utror and Gabral. Morel collectors include 38.0% women, 37.0% men and 25.0% children. Huge quantities of morels are lost each year due to improper storage and collection techniques. Key words: Morels; Marketing; Hindukush-Himalayas; Commerce Introduction of Study Site The Utror-Gabral valleys are situated in the north western part of the District Swat, Pakistan. The project area has unique flora as it occupies nexus of the three great mountain ranges i.e. Himalayas, Hindukush and Karakoram. The altitude of Utror is 2,225 meters and Gabral is 2,550 meters from the sea level.

This research work has been done to evaluate pH, Temperature, Carbon dioxide, Total alkalinity, Total hardness, Electrical conductivity, soil texture and Cd, Cr, Pb metal toxicity of both rivers and their impact were analyzed comparatively since the soil and water quality have always strong impact on survival of microorganisms and fish fauna found in aquatic ecosystems. Heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Pb, etc. are of special concern because they can produce water pollution and chronic poisoning in aquatic animals. The results revealed that though the waters of River Sutlej (Head Ganda Singh site) and River Ravi (Head Balloki site) were found polluted to some extents, however, the physico-chemical parameters of water and soil indicated that these are suitable for irrigation and aquatic life.
