Pakistan offers diverse fishing species that are deeply connected to local culture and traditions. The Indus River system provides habitat for mahseer, trout, and various carp species that have sustained communities for generations.

Traditional fishing methods using nets and rods reflect the cultural heritage of coastal and riverside communities. Local festivals often celebrate the abundance of fish species, with special dishes prepared during religious and cultural events.

The fishing industry supports many families while preserving cultural practices passed down through centuries. Conservation efforts now focus on protecting endangered species while maintaining cultural fishing traditions.
