Fishing gear plays an important role in Pakistan\“s coastal communities and inland water bodies. Traditional fishing methods using local gear have been practiced for generations along the Arabian Sea coastline and in rivers like the Indus.
In Sindh and Balochistan provinces, fishermen use various types of nets, hooks, and traps made from locally available materials. The manufacturing and repair of fishing gear provides employment for many families in coastal villages.
Modern fishing equipment has been introduced in recent years, but traditional gear remains popular among small-scale fishermen due to its affordability and cultural significance. |
