Tawakal Hatchery had the privilege of hosting Prof. Dr. Muhammad Latif, Head of Department of Zoology, University of Education Lahore, Multan Campus, along with faculty members Dr. Faiza Rao, Mr. Hassan Hameed, Mr. Syed Zain Zaffer Bukhari, Ms. Asma Javaid, and Ms. Saba Saeed, and students of MS and BS Zoology for an academic and industrial exposure visit.
The delegation was warmly received by Dr. Hira Javed, Research Officer, and the dedicated hatchery staff, who provided a comprehensive briefing on the various operational and research activities being carried out at the facility. The session highlighted modern hatchery management practices, with a special focus on the feeding behavior and management of Pangasius, Gift Tilapia, and Catfish.
During the visit, students were given an opportunity to observe practical aspects of aquaculture production, enabling them to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications. The faculty members paid special thanks for the excellent hospitality, with a particular highlight being their comment that the "Fish Qeema" was truly the best taste. Interactive discussions were held on current challenges and future prospects of the aquaculture sector in Pakistan, encouraging research-oriented thinking among the participants.
The students greatly appreciated the industrial exposure and commended the management of Tawakal Fish Hatchery for their novelty in work and ambitious future plans. Such academic–industry collaborations are vital for promoting innovation, capacity building, and sustainable development in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
We look forward to continued collaboration with leading academic institutions to strengthen research, training, and professional development in the field of zoology and aquaculture.
