  • A Preliminary Study of Thukri Net Fishery at Sonmiani Bay
    INT. J. BIOL. BIOTECH., 4 (SPECIAL ISSUE): 83-87, 2007. A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THUKRI NET FISHERY AT SONMIANI BAY Allah Bukhsh Baloch and Q.B. Kazmi Marine Reference Collection & Resource Centre, University of Karachi ABSTRACT Key-words: INTRODUCTION Balochistan coast extends about 772 km between the Hub river in the east and border of Iran in the west. The coast may be characterized by a bay, the ”Sonmiani Bay”, backed by a lagoon called the Miani Hor (1,600km2) (Fig-1). The lagoon displays a variety of geomorphic and biological features which are very important for the ecological study of the coast. The coastal area of Balochistan is known to have a well diversified marine fauna and flora. The fish fauna is also diverse and more than 5oo fish species, 12 of squids/cuttle fish/ octopi, 5 species of lobsters and 5 species of shrimp are recorded. The main resources of Balochistan have not been fully exploited except for fish. The total fish production of Balochistan coast during the period from 1991-to-2002 showed steadily increasing trend. The production increased from 107081mt, to 123000mt in 2000. The rate of increase was 1.47% per year (Table-1). In the year 2000, fish and fishery export products of 84.693mt, a valued of Rs. 7.878 billion were exported from Pakistan. During the year 2000 out of total production, 123000mt (25.9%) were contributed by Balochistan (Source: FAO & M.F.D. 2001). In addition the total marine resources of Pakistani water is estimated to be about 600,000 mt/year, out of which inshore waters are 500,000 mt and offshore water (EEZ) are 100,000 mt approximately.

    HOME CURRENT ISSUE ANTIQUITY+ ARCHIVE CONTRIBUTE SUBSCRIBE CONTACT << Previous Page Explore the Project Gallery Antiquity Volume 087 Issue 337 September 2013 The Middle Holocene mangrove shellfish gatherers of Las Bela coast (Balochistan, Pakistan): new AMS dates from Lake Siranda shell middens Paolo Biagi, Renato Nisbet, Alberto Girod & Tiziano Fantuzzi Introduction In the early 1970s, Professor A.R. Khan of Karachi University conducted the first geoarchaeological survey of the coast of Las Bela (Khan 1979a). The results (Khan 1979b) suggested that the coastal areas of Las Bela and southern Sindh have great archaeological potential because of their geographical location and morphological characteristics, as is also reported in the chronicles of the Classical authors, especially Arrian (see for example McCrindle 1879). In 2011, a joint programme of archaeological surveys was initiated by the universities of Ca' Foscari (Venice) and Balochistan (Quetta). Its principal scope was to locate prehistoric shell middens along the shores of Lake Siranda, to AMS-date samples of mangrove gastropods from any new sites, to contribute to the study of the Neolithic peopling of the region and their eventual seafaring along the northern coast of the Arabian Sea and, finally, to interpret the geomorphological variations that took place in the territory of Las Bela since the start of the Holocene. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com Geographical setting The first geological account of the landscape surrounding Lake Siranda was written by R.E. Snead (1966: 58): "a desert depression with no normal outlet to the sea". The lake stretches from north to south between the Holocene dunes of the Sonmiani Hills in the west, and the Pleistocene sand plain that extends to the east (Snead & Frishman 1968), while in the south it is delimited by the Khurkera plain, formed by the silting of the Winder River flowing from the Pab Range (Pithawalla 1952: 33).

  • Ecological Impbalances in the Coastal Areas of Pakistan and Karachi
    Pakistan Journal of Marine Sciences, VoL4(2), 159-174, 1995. REVIEW ARTICLE ECOLOGICAL IMBALANCES IN THE COASTAL AREAS OF PAKISTAN AND KARACID HARBOUR Mirza Arshad Ali Beg 136-C, Rafahe Aam Housing Society, Malir Halt, Karachi-75210. ABSTRACT: The marine environment of Pakistan has been described in the context of three main regions : the Indus delta and its creek system, the Karachi coastal region, and the Balochistan coast The creeks, contrary to concerns, do receive adequate discharges of freshwater. On site observations indicate that freshwater continues flowing into them during the lean water periods and dilutes the seawater there. A major factor for the loss of mangrove forests. as well as ecological disturbances in the Indus delta is loss of the silt load resulting in erosion of its mudflats. The ecological disturbance has been aggravated by allowing camels to browse the mangroves. The tree branches and trunks, having been denuded of leaves are felled for firewood. Evidence is presented to show that while indiscriminate removal of its mangrove trees is responsible for the loss oflarge tracts of mangrove forests, overharvesting of fisheries resources has depleted the river of some valuable fishes that were available from the delta area. Municipal and industrial effluents discharged into the Lyari and Malir rivers and responsible for land-based pollution at the Karachi coast and the harbour. The following are the three major areas receiving land-based pollution and whose environmental conditions have been examined in detail: (l) the Manora channel, located on the estuar}r of the Lyari river and serving as the main harbour, has vast areas forming its western and eastern backwaters characterized by mud flats and mangroves.

  • Shell Middens of Balochistan
    Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-3934-5_10169-1 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Shell Middens of the Coast of Balochistan Paolo Biagi* Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca’ Foscari University – Venice, Venice, Italy According to Arrian, the Greek historian, the region that extends west of the Hab River, which divides Sindh in the east from Las Bela in Balochistan in the west, has been known since the Hellenistic times to have been settled by the Oreitai, an ethnic group similar to the Ichthyophagi (McCrindle, 1973), although no archaeological trace of their presence has ever been recorded during the surveys made in the area (De Cardi, 1983; Khan, 1964, 1979; Raikes, 1967–1968; Stein, 1943). In effect the first traces of prehistoric shellfish eaters were discovered by chance, when Professor A. R. Khan of Karachi University showed me, in his museum, a few decolored specimens of Terebralia palustris mangrove shells he had collected a few years before along the shores of a small bay called Daun, some 15 km south of Cape Gadani, in Las Bela province. A brief visit paid to Daun in January 2000 led to the discovery of a few shell middens (Biagi, 2003–2004, 2004, 2013), while many others were recovered between 2004 and 2008, south of the same bay and on the Pleistocene marine terrace that raises from the beach just to the southeast (Biagi, Fantuzzi, & Franco, 2012). Further surveys conducted along the southeastern coast of Las Bela in the following years have shown that shell middens with different characteristics and variable chronology exist in many places (Fig.
