  • In the Tuna Gillnet Fisheries of Pakistan
    ____________________________________________IOTC-2021-WPEB17(DP)-14 Some Observation on the Silky Shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) in the Tuna Gillnet Fisheries of Pakistan Muhammad Moazzam WWF-Pakistan, Karachi, Pakistan ([email protected]) Abstract Sharks form important part of bycatch of the tuna gillnet operations in Pakistan. Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) was observed to the most dominating species in commercial landings of oceanic sharks at Karachi Fish Harbour Pakistan followed by mako shark. This species is considered as commercially important, as it meat is locally consumed whereas fins are exported despite restrictions because this species is included in Appendix-II of CITES. During the present study it was observed that large sized specimens (161 cm to 191cm TL) were not caught during 2017 and 2018 whereas in 2016, silky shark of these size classes were caught by tuna gillnetters as bycatch indicating overfishing of shark in general and silky shark in particular. Introduction Sharks are considered as an important bycatch group of tuna gillnet fishing in Pakistan (Khan, 2013; Moazzam, 2013, 2019; Shahid et al., 2015, 2016). In Pakistan, gillnets consisting of monofilament and multifilament are used for catching tuna and tuna like species. Monofilament net is mainly used for catching neritic tuna in coastal waters whereas multifilament nylon nets are used for catching longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the offshore waters. There are about 700 tuna gillnetters based mainly in Karachi along Sindh Coast and Gwadar along Balochistan Coast. A number of shark species were observed to be entangled in the tuna gillnets which is dominated by silky shark (Khan et al., 2013, Moazzam, 2012; Shahid, 2012; Shahid et al., 2015, 2016).

    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 32, No. 1, January – June 2017, pp.67 – 80 Cultural Scenario of Pakistan in Democratic and Military Eras (1947-2013) Saira Siddiqui Government College University, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Syeda Khizra Aslam Government College University, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Muhammad Rashid Khan University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. ABSTRACT This study investigates a politico-cultural mapping of leisure and life in Pakistan, a country in South Asia, with a political developmental period in historical perspective from its independence in 1947. A classification of ruling eras is done, and accordingly the paper carries its discussion. A few tables are presented to give the percentage of leisure-time spent, and leisure-activities pursued by Pakistani men and women. The data is from nationally represented samples of 2690 respondents in 2009, and 1294 respondents interviewed in 2012 by Gilani Research Foundation, Pakistan. The findings also include statistics from a research by the authors own empirical study of 2013, from a sample of 222 women respondents in Faisalabad City, Punjab, Pakistan. Key Words: Democratic and military eras, Pakistan, leisure and life, recreational facilities Introduction South Asia is one of the most heavily populated places in the world. The countries within its area are Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka (Cultural Geography of South Asia, 2002). Pakistan and Bangladesh in South Asia have Muslim influence, politico-cultural histories of political conflicts, and different civilizations.

  • Species Composition of Elasmobranchs in the Surface and Subsurface Gillnet Operation in the Northern Arabian Sea
    __________________________________________________IOTC-2019-WPEB15-13 Species composition of elasmobranchs in the surface and subsurface gillnet operation in the Northern Arabian Sea Muhammad Moazzam WWF-Pakistan, Karachi, Pakistan ([email protected]) Abstract Sharks form important part of bycatch of the tuna gillnet operations in Pakistan. WWF- Pakistan introduced subsurface gillnetting in 2014 in which gillnet are placed 1.4 to 2 m below the sea surface. Fishing fleet engaged in tuna gillnetting adopted subsurface gillnetting and by January 2016 entire tuna fleet was converted in subsurface gillnetting. Catch of endangered, threatened and protected (ETP) species such as dolphins and sea turtles were observed to be much lower in subsurface gillnet as compared to surface operations. Sharks are among the other ETP species whose catches were dropped in subsurface gillnet as compared to surface operations. It was observed that overall shark catches were 15.06 % lower in the subsurface gillnet operation as compared to surface placement of gillnets. A marked seasonality was observed in case of dominating species including mako and silky shark. Catches of mako sharks was observed to be about 8.65 % higher in subsurface gillnets as compared to surface gillnets. Introduction Sharks are considered as an important bycatch group of tuna gillnet fishing in Pakistan and other part of the Arabian Sea (Koya, 2018; Shahifar, 2018, Khan, 2013; Moazzam, 2013; Shahid et al., 2015, 2016). In Pakistan, gillnets consisting of monofilament and multifilament are used for catching tuna and tuna like species. Monofilament net is mainly used for catching neritic tuna in coastal waters whereas multifilament nylon nets are used for catching longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the offshore waters.
