3 Pakistan’s 240,000 sq km sea territory remains unexplored By Munawar Hasan, 26 May 2006 LAHORE: Control over marine resources has been undermined because of Pakistan’s inability to participate in the mega-activity, ‘Census of Marine Life’, being carried out worldwide to scientifically assess ocean resources. Apathy on the part of officials has deprived Pakistan of strengthened control over marine life and species found on its coasts. Dr Shahid Amjad, former Director-General, National Institute of Oceanography, said he had been contacted by organisers of a regional CoML meeting in 2003. However, he said, the federal government had not allowed participation in the meeting due to security concerns.

31 1.Fisheries and conservation management fail from lack of knowledge about marine species’ movements. 2.We need >1000 times as much information as we have. 3.We cannot pay 1000 times as much! Therefore, we need a new way to gather information 1.Canadian acoustic tags uniquely code 1,000,000 animals from 20g salmon to 20MT whales for 20 years. 2.‘Coastal curtains’ of receivers automatically record their passage – E-Tags for fish. 3.This system has strong economies of scale – the more information we collect the less it costs. 4.Curtains simultaneously monitor ocean temperature, salinity, etc. Rationale for CFI & IPY Global Ocean Tracking Network

40 Salmon Shark Migratory Patterns

41 Possible differential migration pathways for the steelhead from three study sites. Pathways are conjectural, as there have been no direct tracking studies, although there is evidence for “2-postal codes” in salmonids. Archival tagging should provide clear resolution of residence zones and pathways. BB SR FR POST
