Pakistan has a rich tradition of marine and inland fishing that plays a vital role in the country\“s economy and food security. The coastal areas along the Arabian Sea provide abundant marine resources, while rivers, lakes, and dams support inland fishing activities.
Traditional fishing methods are still practiced in many coastal communities, where fishermen use wooden boats and nets to catch fish. The most common marine species include pomfret, shrimp, and tuna. Inland fishing focuses on freshwater species like rohu, catla, and trout from rivers and lakes.
Fishing is not just an economic activity but also an integral part of local culture. Many coastal festivals and traditions are connected to fishing seasons and practices. The industry provides employment to thousands of people and contributes significantly to Pakistan\“s exports. |
