The CPEC has ushered in a new era in the time-tested relationship between China and Pakistan. By linking Gwadar port with western China, CPEC is projected to make trade between China and regional nations more convenient and affordable. It's a huge deal, not only for Pakistan, but for the whole region, and it brings a whole new set of worries. With the unknown anxieties associated with CPEC as a background, a critical analysis has been carried out throughout the discourse of the topic study. The increased competitiveness of the economies of the countries because of the influx of trade, investment, and financial flow would not only bring peace and prosperity to the region, but also better living standards, which would help to reduce regional disparities and social inequality, increase life expectancy, and boost the quality of life in the country and the surrounding region. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to allay some of the worries to speed up the already sluggish CPEC.

The research article outlines Pakistan's fisheries industry output from 1950 to the recent past and fishery product trading from 1980 to 2011. Based on economic research, the findings show that fish output and export continuously rose year after year. Despite this, the pace of development in fish output over the previous two decades has been quite modest compared to other emerging nations. The research also shows that inland aquaculture output in Pakistan is quickly outpacing marine aquaculture. On the contrary, no marine aquaculture methods exist or are supported to improve fish output. The article discusses and measures fisheries sector security and future development potential for coastal and non-coastal regions. In Pakistan, aquaculture has emerged as the most promising option to address fish demand, food security, livelihood, employment, and national GDP. Furthermore, it is critical to focus on marine aquaculture to restore marine fishing resources, which may generate livelihoods in coastal communities. Finally, the main idea of this article is to provide developmental techniques for authorities to grow and expand the aquaculture industry, which might provide numerous options for livelihood support in Pakistan. The research uses methodological triangulation to evaluate the on-ground reality from a broader perspective. Moreover, an online survey will be presented to evaluate the output of the fish industry of Pakistan.
