Conger eel fishing has been practiced for generations along Pakistan\“s coastal regions, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. Local fishermen use traditional wooden boats and handmade nets to catch these large marine eels, which are considered a delicacy in coastal communities.
The fishing season typically runs from October to March, when conger eels migrate closer to shore. Fishermen employ unique techniques passed down through families, using special bait and fishing during specific tidal conditions. The catch is often sold fresh in local markets or dried for preservation.
This traditional practice represents an important aspect of Pakistan\“s maritime heritage and provides livelihood for many coastal families. However, modern fishing methods and environmental changes pose challenges to sustaining this cultural tradition. |
