“…The GIT was separated, weighed, and stored in 250-mL glass bottles for digestion. A total of 10% of KOH solution was added to each sample to digest the fish GIT tissue [ 21 ]. The KOH solution and fish GIT ratio were maintained at 5:1 and incubated at 55 °C for 36 h. After digestion, no visible organic materials were found, and then sodium chloride (3:1 v / v ) was added to the sample and stirred for 20 min.…”

“…Microplastics come from various sources such as household activities, washing clothes, disposable trash, industrial discharge, and wastewater treatment plants, as MPs are not trapped by filters and quickly make their way to the aquatic environment [ 15 , 16 ]. When they contact with living systems, these MPs cause toxic effects and act as a vector for further pollutants such as heavy metals which lead to various forms of toxicity [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Ingestion of MPs has been reported to affect growth rate, block enzyme production, and cause mechanical injury and oxidative stress [ 23 ] in aquatic organisms.…”

Microplastic pollution is becoming an increasingly severe environmental problem. As compared to the marine ecosystem, freshwater ecosystems at high-altitude, remote regions are less studied and lag far behind. Thus, the present study aims to highlight this issue and fill the gap in this regard. The presence of microplastics (MPs) in the surface water and the gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from Lake Mahodand, Kalam Swat, Pakistan, at a high altitude of 2865 m above sea level was investigated. For microplastic extraction, samples were digested with H2O2, NaCl solution was added for density separation, and then samples were filtered with a cellulose nitrate filter (pore size 0.45 µ). After this, visual observation and polymer detection with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, microplastics were characterized by their shapes, sizes, colors, and polymer types. In the surface water sample, MP particles were found in the range of 0–5 MPs/L, where the mean concentration of MPs was 2.3 ± 1.52 MPs/L and 1.7 ± 1.05 MPs/gastrointestinal tract (GIT) isolated from the GIT of brown trout. Particles of relatively larger size (500–300 µm) were more abundant than other ranges of particles (300–150 and 150–50 µm) in the surface water and fish samples. The fiber was the most abundant shape of MP particles, followed by sheets and fragments in surface water and fish samples (fibers > sheets > fragments). Four types of polymer viz. low-density polyethylene (LDPE) (44.4%), polypropylene homopolymer (PPH) (19.4%), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (30.5%), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) (5.5%) were detected by FTIR spectroscopy. The findings of the present study showed that MPs reached into higher altitudes in remote areas due to tourism activities.

“…Fishes are the most affluent creatures and the most abundant group on the earth which secure livelihood and consist of 50% species the chief sources of highquality protein to provides sustenance to billions of people worldwide and are used to develop the national economy (Costello et al, 2012;FAO, 2012;Hassan et al, 2021;Hussain et al, 2021;Abidin et al, 2022).About 39 million people are engaged in capture fisheries globally, and more than 90% work in the small-scale fisheries sector (Islam et al, 2020). Marine fisheries play an important role in Pakistan national economy by adding value to the agricultural sector (Mohsin et al, 2015;Hassan et al, 2021).…”

Size at sexual maturity estimation for 36 species captured by bottom and mid-water trawls from the marine habitat of Balochistan and Sindh in the Arabian Sea, Pakistan, using maximum length (Lmax) and logistic (L50) models

et al. 2024

The aim of this study was to estimate the size at first sexual maturity (Lm) for 36 species belonging to 24 families from the marine habitat of Balochistan and Sindh in Arabian Sea, Pakistan through maximum length based an empirical and logistic model using commercial catch during June 2020 to May 2021. Individual total length (TL) was noted up to 0.1 cm using measuring broad. The Lm was calculated using two formulae; (i) log (Lm) = - 0.1246 + 0.9924 * log (Lmax) for Elasmobranchs and (ii) log (Lm) = -0.1189 + 0.9157* log (Lmax) for ray-finned fishes. The minimum Lm was recorded as 10.27 cm TL for Caranx malabaricus and 108.38 cm TL for Isurus oxyrinchus, respectively. Around Lm with 58.33% species were ranges from 19.00 cm to 25.00 cm TL. This study was estimated 16 newly Lm which is globally absent and rest 20 Lm are absent in the Arabian Sea (Pakistan coastal habitats). Therefore, the results will be helpful for the sustainable management and conservation of these marine fishes through the establishment of mesh size of trawl nets based on the size at sexual maturity (Lm).

“…Fisheries play an essential role in feeding the world's growing population and play a crucial role in global human nutrition as a source of essential nutrients (Abidin et al, 2022). Healthy fish populations lead to healthy oceans, and it is our responsibility to be a part of the solution (Hussain et al, 2021;Khalid et al, 2021;Hassan et al, 2021Hassan et al, , 2022.…”

Occurrence of new Philometra sp. in mangrove red snapper Lutjanus argentimaculatus from the Karachi coast, Pakistan

et al. 2024

A recent examination of Philometra nematodes from mangrove red snapper Lutjanus argentimaculatus (Forsskal, 1775) from the Karachi coast, Kemari was done in the years 2021–2022. The present study reported three new species of genus Philometra (Costa, 1845) (Nematoda: Philometridae) Philometra kolachii, Philometra lutjani and Philometra kemarii. A total of 140 fish samples were examined, and 76 were infected. The intensity of infected fish was 54.28%. In Pakistan, literature on Philometrid nematodes is limited, therefore, this research would be helpful for the documentation and enhancement of nematods in Pakistan.
