Abstract: 

At present, there is no fisheries data collection system in place in Pakistan. The data being published as Handbook of Fisheries Statistics of Pakistan is mainly based on mere speculation and extrapolation of the data of previous years. Considering these lacunae, it is planned to establish a logbook system for tuna gillnetters being operated in coastal and offshore waters. In addition, a data collection system will be established at four tuna landing centres including Karachi, Ibrahim Hayderi, Gwadar and Jiwani. WWF-Pakistan in collaboration with Federal Government will help in establishment of logbook and data collection systems and also train concerned officers and staff of Federal and Provincial Governments.
