LAHORE: Pakistan’s cultural capital Lahore gets the first ever fish library, helping researchers and students to get all information about fish under one roof.

The biggest fish library offers more than 50,000 books on fish farming that provide a plethora of information on suitable habitats and atmospheres for aquatic life without going on multiple platforms.
The library administrator told a local media publication that many medical research students often visited the bookery for their research publications. She added that researchers coming from outside the country often visit the library.
