Q36. Explain how fish farming plays an important role in increasing the national income of Pakistan.

Ans: Fishing:
Fishing is one of the oldest professions in Pakistan. Fish farming is an
artificial method for reproduction purposes. Fish play an important role in
increasing the national income and overcoming the scarcity of food. This
lessens the load placed on the requirement of mutton, beef and poultry.
More than 4 lakh fishermen and their families are related to this profession.
Fish is very important for human nutrition as it is an essential source of
protein. The coastal areas of Pakistan are famous for their shrimps and other
kinds of fish. Pakistan’s rivers, lakes and fish farms also provide fish.
According to an estimate, fish production in Pakistan is more than 5 lakh
metric ton per annum.
