Fishing has been an integral part of Pakistani coastal culture for centuries, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. The traditional fishing communities, known as Mohanas, have developed unique fishing techniques passed down through generations.
In coastal areas like Karachi, Gwadar, and Ormara, fishing diaries are commonly maintained by local fishermen to record their daily catches, weather conditions, and fishing locations. These records help them understand seasonal patterns and improve their fishing strategies.
Traditional Pakistani fishing methods include the use of hand nets, fishing rods, and small wooden boats called horis. The fishing culture is deeply connected with local festivals and religious traditions, where the first catch of the season is often celebrated with community gatherings.
Modern fishing practices have evolved, but many coastal communities still preserve their traditional knowledge while incorporating sustainable fishing methods to protect marine resources for future generations. |
