Fishing lights have been an integral part of Pakistani coastal communities for generations. Traditional fishermen in Sindh and Balochistan use various types of lights to attract fish during night fishing expeditions.
In Gwadar and Karachi, fishermen often use kerosene lamps or modern LED lights mounted on their boats. The practice of light fishing is particularly common during the fishing season from August to November when certain species are more responsive to light attraction.
Local fishing communities have developed unique techniques for using fishing lights based on lunar cycles and water conditions. The bright lights help attract squid, pomfret, and other commercially valuable species that are drawn to illuminated areas.
Many fishing families in coastal villages continue to use traditional methods passed down through generations, while younger fishermen are increasingly adopting modern lighting technology to improve their catch efficiency. |
