8 Terminology Aquaculture: Culture of aquatic species Mari culture: Culture of marine organisms Shrimp culture: Shrimp farming

9 Investment Opportunities Ventures in commercial scale Mari culture. High value Fish eg SEA BASS, GROUPER, MULLETS, etc Shrimp Crab Shellfish (mussels, clam, oyster etc) Supply of fisheries inputs: services, fish fry, equipment and feed. Fish Processing, Cold-Chain, Storage etc Value addition and ready to cook products.

10 Potential Immense potential exists to start commercial scale fish/shrimp farming in Sindh. A number of sites have been earmarked on an area of 20,000 acres of land in Districts Thatta & Badin along the coast

11 District Taluka Deh Area (in acres) Thatta Ghorabari Gambua 800 -Do- -Do- Jharyoon 50 -Do- -Do- Adhano 100 -Do- -Do- Mahel 425 -Do- Jati Oranga Do- Shah Bundar Allah Dino Wada 500 -Do- Shah Bundar Babli Do- Keti Bundar Naghewari 2441 Badin S.Fazul Rahu Girhari, Ahmed Raju 4 &

12 Potential Shrimp Farming N Areas Thatta Badin 10 km Indus River LBOD-tidal link salinized soil Keti Bandar Shah Bandar tidal mud flats Zero Point Inland Sea Arabian Sea Rann of Kutch India

13 Conditions at Site Air Temp Range Water Temp Range Salinity Range Highest tide Mean High Tide Mean Sea Level 5 41 Celsius 8-34 Celsius 0 48 ppt 3.83 Meters 3.20 Meters 2.06 Meters

14 Types of Farming Improved - extensive Shrimp/fish Farming Semi-intensive Shrimp/fish Farming Intensive shrimp/fish farming Fin-fish cage farming

15 Methodology for Improved- Extensive Shrimp Farming Pond will be built in inter-tidal / low lying area Allow tide water into pond by gravity flow during high tide and shut down the inlet at falling tide to retain water in pond Flush water during low tide A cyclic change of water is established Low stocking No artificial aeration required Natural feed / Low cost feed

16 INLET

17 Methodology for Semi Intensive Shrimp Farming Pond will be built by raising dykes with inlet and outlet in coastal areas Water supply by pumping to fill and maintain pond water level Pond fertilization to produce natural food Moderate Stocking Aeration by paddle wheel aerators to maintain oxygen level in pond Artificial feeding (Pallets)

18 Semi-intensive shrimp pond Aerators

19 Methodology for fin-fish cage Farming Rearing of high value fishes in floating wooden or HDPE net cages in creeks in natural environment Stock active, clean and strong fry of similar sizes Cover cage using a piece of net to prevent fry from being eaten by birds and escaping Rinse and change net of cage at days interval to avoid spoilage Aeration by water movement
