Pakistan is endowed with abundant fisheries resources that have significant economic potential. Capture fisheries
contribute a comparatively vital role to the national economy. However, poverty, environmental degradation and political
instability are major problems for the Pakistani people, and no effective steps have been taken to handle this socioeconomically
important sector efficiently in the past. Furthermore, the fisheries sector faced its own set of challenges,
including the emergence of small-scale artisanal fisheries, the nonexistence of technologies, deficiency of institutional
development, an absence of infrastructure, insufficient human resource skill, and a lack of responsiveness among fishing
societies, all of which contributed to the sector's demise. The National Fisheries Policy (NFP) was formulated to address
these problems in the fisheries sector. Potential efforts have been made by the Government of Pakistan to solve these
constraints under various plans of objectives and strategy axes of the policy. Our findings indicate that despite these efforts,
the fisheries sector does not show significant growth to achieve the policy goals. So, it is necessary to re-evaluate and reorient
this policy for further development of this sector. It is also essential to achieve the aim of Government of Pakistan
Vision 2025 to become one of the 25th largest economies in the world.
