“…The fisheries sector makes a significant contribution in providing employment and generating large revenues from exports of fish and fish products. This sector can develop into an engine of rural economic growth and social development (Noman et al, 2017). The fisheries sector contributes to creating new socio-economic opportunities for fishermen and improving the livelihoods of one of the poorest communities in society while maintaining coastal and marine natural resources (Nader et al, 2013).…”

The potential of the fisheries sector in Eastern Indonesia is very large. Investment as a driving force for the fisheries subsector is not only needed for infrastructure, but the fish processing industry sector also requires very large investment. Even though foreign investment is helping to drive this sector, the amount is still not optimal, the main reason is that licensing is long and complicated. Limited investment gives rise to illegal fishing and overfishing which cannot be avoided even though prevention is always carried out in various ways. This research uses a panel data linear regression method to determine the magnitude of the contribution of investment as a driver of the fisheries sector. The result is that investment, employment and the fish processing industry sector can jointly influence the growth of the fisheries sector. Investment in infrastructure development must be followed by investment for the needs of the fish processing industry

“…species are commercially viable and actively exploited (Majid, 1988). Based on studies conducted by Khan (2004) and Noman et al (2017) the marine fishery sector accounts for 1% of GDP and the total catch of marine fish is almost 400,000 tons, of which 20% is exported to different countries. Sindh is home to 71% of Pakistan's fish resources (Noshirwani, 2013).…”

T here are four main categories of important fish species found in the Sindh Creek areas: permanent residents, partial residents, tidal visitors and seasonal visitors. About 400 aquatic species have been recorded, belonging to 21 orders, 9 suborders, and 118 families (Ahmad, 1988). Out of these, 40Abstract | This research was conducted in 13 Indus Delta creeks. A total of 583 samples were collected from study area and 246 species or groups of species have been identified. Significant variation was noted in the frequency of fish catch/kg/hr tow per month, particularly during pre-monsoon, post-monsoon. High abundance (74.95%) of estuarine fish species was found followed by marine fish species (23.27%) and freshwater fish species (1.78%). The estuarine fish species belonging to the family Clupeidae are most dominant (28.5%), followed by Carids shrimp (23.6%), Engraulidae (14.3%), Mugilidae (13.8%), Jellyfish (6.9%), Leiognathidae (6.5%), Sciaenidae (3.4%), Pristigasteridae (.0.9%), Penaeidae (0.8%), Ariidae (0.7%) and Carangidae (0.5%). In family Clupeidae; Escualosa thoracata was abundantly found and accounts for 95.4%, Hilsa kelee (2.7%). In Engraulidae; Stolephorus indicus (60.3%), Thryssa hamiltonii (13.6%). In Mugilidae; Mugilidae sp. (47.2%), Mugil sp. (36.0%). In Leiognathidae; Nuchequula blochii (92.7%), Secutor insidiator (4.5%). In Sciaenidae; Johnius sp. (58.85%), Sciaenidae (32.92%). In Pristigasteridae; Ilisha sp. (90.5%), Ilisha elongata (7.0%). In Penaeidae; Penaeus indicus (99.0%), Penaeus merguiensis (0.9%). In Ariidae; Arius maculatus (38%), Plicofollis layardi (36%) and in Carangidae; Carangidae (61.0%), Carangoides sp. (20.0%), and in Sergestidae; Carids shrimp (80.3%), Sergestes sp. (19.7%). Despite this, jellyfish make up 6.96% of all estuarine fish caught and are extensively dispersed throughout the survey region as well as marine waters. The distribution of fish stocks is greatly impacted by seasonal changes in the creeks, and the presence of these species aids in the management of fisheries resources in the stream system of the Indus delta.
