Crab fishing in Pakistan\“s coastal regions, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan, has been practiced for generations using various traditional baits. Local fishermen have developed effective techniques using readily available materials that attract crabs efficiently.
The most common baits used in Pakistani crab fishing include fish heads, chicken parts, and raw meat. These are often secured in simple traps or attached to lines. The strong scent of these baits draws crabs from their hiding places in mangrove forests and rocky coastal areas.
Traditional methods involve using woven baskets or nets baited with these food items. Fishermen typically check their traps during low tide when crabs are more active in searching for food. This practice reflects the deep understanding local communities have of marine life patterns and tidal movements.
In some coastal villages, fishermen have developed specialized bait recipes passed down through families. These may include mixtures of fish oil, local spices, and other natural ingredients that enhance the bait\“s attractiveness to specific crab species found in Pakistani waters. |
