Fishing operations refer to the organized activities involved in catching fish and other aquatic resources from various water bodies. In Pakistan, these operations hold significant cultural and economic importance, particularly in coastal regions like Sindh and Balochistan.
Traditional fishing methods in Pakistan include the use of small wooden boats known as \“hundis\“ and various types of nets that have been passed down through generations. The fishing communities, particularly the Mohana people, have developed unique cultural practices and knowledge systems related to fishing operations that reflect their deep connection with the Indus River and Arabian Sea.
Modern fishing operations in Pakistan have evolved to include commercial trawlers and advanced equipment, yet traditional methods continue to coexist, preserving cultural heritage. Fishing festivals and rituals remain an integral part of coastal communities, celebrating their relationship with the sea and sustaining local traditions. |
