In the coastal regions of Pakistan, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan, casting nets remains a traditional fishing method passed down through generations. Local fishermen use circular throwing nets called \“Jaal\“ made from natural fibers or modern synthetic materials.
The technique requires skill and precision - fishermen spin the net overhead before casting it into the water, creating a perfect circle that sinks and traps fish. This method is particularly effective in the Arabian Sea coastal waters and inland rivers like the Indus.
Fishing communities in Karachi, Gwadar, and other coastal towns continue this practice, often combining traditional knowledge with modern equipment. The rhythmic motion of casting nets has become part of Pakistan\“s coastal cultural heritage.
During monsoon season, fishermen adjust their techniques, casting nets in protected bays and estuaries. The catch typically includes pomfret, shrimp, and various local fish species that are vital to Pakistan\“s seafood industry and local economies. |
