However, he said the Higher education Commission Islamabad and the provincial government should come forward to provide funds for the purpose.

Dr. Kalhoro said that the Department of Freshwater Biology and Fisheries of the University of Sindh had received a project from HEC Islamabad for rearing and breeding palla fish, on which research work is going on and the varsity's experts had nurtured palla fish, which are growing for reproduction.
