Commercial Longline Fishing
Commercial longline fishing is a fishing technique that uses a long main line with baited hooks attached at intervals. This method is commonly used to catch pelagic fish such as tuna, swordfish, and halibut. The lines can be miles long with thousands of hooks, making it an efficient but controversial fishing method due to bycatch issues.In Pakistan, traditional fishing methods have been practiced for centuries along the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan. The local fishing communities have developed unique techniques and knowledge about marine resources that have been passed down through generations.
Pakistani coastal culture is rich with fishing traditions that include special boat designs, net-making skills, and seasonal fishing practices that align with monsoon patterns and fish migration cycles.
