Crab Net Fishing in Pakistan
Crab net fishing is a traditional fishing method practiced in coastal areas of Pakistan, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. This method involves using specially designed nets to catch crabs from the sea.Local fishermen use handmade nets with small mesh sizes to effectively trap crabs while allowing smaller marine life to escape. The fishing is typically done during low tide when crabs are more accessible in shallow waters.
In Pakistani coastal communities, crab net fishing has been passed down through generations and represents an important part of the local maritime heritage. The caught crabs are either sold in local markets or used for personal consumption.
This traditional practice supports the livelihoods of many coastal families and contributes to the local economy while maintaining sustainable fishing practices that have been refined over centuries.
