Field identification guide to the living marine resources of Pakistan.
FAO Species Identification Guide for Fishery Purposes.
Rome, FAO. 2015. x + 386 pp., 42 colour plates.
SUMMARY
This field guide was prepared under the direction of the FishFinder Programme (former Species Identification and
Data Programme), Marine and Inland Fisheries Branch (FIRF) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations (FAO). Preparation was supported by the FAO UTF/PAK/108/PAK “Fisheries Resources Appraisal in Pakistan”
(FRAP) project under the development project “Stock Assessment Survey Programme in EEZ of Pakistan through
Chartering of Fisheries Research Vessel and Capacity Building of Marine Fisheries Department, Karachi” and Marine
Fisheries Department, Ministry of Ports & Shipping, Government of Pakistan.
This volume is the second FAO species identification field guide to the marine living resources of Pakistan (see
Bianchi, 1985). The information included in the latter publication was expanded and refined as new data became
available through extensive field work conducted, especially by the second and third author, during the last 35 years.
Additional data obtained from two R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen resource surveys (October and November 2010) conducted
in Pakistan’s waters were also incorporated in the guide. In two successive missions (November 2013 and April 2014)
the first author joined forces with the second author at the Marine Fisheries Department, Karachi (MFD) to collect
and identify specimens at landing sites. Species held in national and local museum collections were also examined
and their identification verified. Specimens belonging to “problematic” taxa were tissue sampled, fixed in formalin and
sent to specialists for more detailed examination. The inclusion of many new records of fish species for the waters of
Pakistan was possible thanks to the untiring efforts by the second author to document the rich marine fish fauna of the
country. Local names and fishing methods were included on the basis of information provided especially by the third
author who has long experience with fisheries in Pakistan. The species accounts presented in this guide were mostly
sourced from previously published FAO works for the region, such as the FAO Species identification Guide for the
Western Indian Ocean, FAO Species identification Guide for the Western Central Pacific, FAO World Species Catalogues
and other primary literature.
This Guide is not meant to be considered a complete checklist but a comprehensive list of marine and brackish-water
commercial fish species that occur in Pakistan’s waters. It is aimed at being a reference guide for fishery officers,
fishers and local scientists to help improve recording, assessment, production and sustainable management of marine
resources.
A user-friendly pocket guide as well as a colour illustrated poster featuring a selection of the most common marine
species exploited by Pakistan’s coastal fisheries were also produced as complement to the present Guide (see http://
www.fao.org/fishery/fishfinder/en). |

Field identification guide to the living marine resources of the Eastern and Southern Mediterranean.
FAO Species Identification Guide for Fishery Purposes.
Rome, FAO. 2012. 610 pp.
SUMMARY
This field guide covers major animal groups of the southern and eastern
Mediterranean Sea, including crustaceans, molluscs, sea urchins, fishes, sea
turtles, and marine mammals that can be encountered in fisheries landings,
on the market, or at sea. A total of 372 species was selected according to
their economic interest, commonness, and endangered or invasive status.
The field guide starts with a brief introduction characterising the Mediterranean
Sea, notably basic physical and chemical features, biodiversity, and fisheries.
It is followed by a pictorial index to the different families described and a
glossary of terms. Each section contains an introduction with technical terms
and measurements of a taxonomic group, as well as Order and Family
characteristics and species accounts. Each account includes scientific
nomenclature, FAO common names, size, habitat and biology, importance
to fisheries, and distribution, as well as annotated illustrations highlighting
relevant diagnostic features. Tables comprising vernacular names from the
countries covered by the guide are also included. The field guide is translated
into Arabic for better dissemination among Arabic-speakers, particularly
fishermen. |
