STAFF REPORT LHR: About 17 big hatcheries and more than 30 small nursery units of the public sector are providing 93000,000 fish seeds to 9,000 fish farms of private sector where 92,000 metric tons fish is produced annually, said Director General Fisheries Dr. Muhammad Ayub. “Fish seeds being produced at the hatcheries of the Fisheries Department are not only supplied to the private fish farmers but also to Sindh, Balochistan and KP provinces,” he told the media at a briefing. He said that due to limited water resources, the Fisheries Department is also planning to adopt the intensive culture system so that maximum fish production could be obtained from minimum water.


The DG Fisheries said that due to continuous efforts of the Fisheries Department, a number of hatcheries came into being in private sector which not only fulfil the needs of fish meat but opportunities of employments have also been made available.
