Deep Sea Fishing Methods in Pakistan
Deep sea fishing in Pakistan involves various traditional and modern techniques practiced along the coastal regions of Sindh and Balochistan. Local fishermen use methods like longline fishing, trolling, and bottom trawling to catch species such as tuna, kingfish, and snapper. These methods are often passed down through generations, blending indigenous knowledge with contemporary equipment.In places like Karachi and Gwadar, deep sea fishing is not only a livelihood but also a cultural heritage. Fishermen often begin their journeys before dawn, relying on weather patterns and lunar cycles—a practice rooted in local traditions. Community-based fishing cooperatives play a key role in sustaining these methods while ensuring marine conservation.
