Capture fishing, also known as wild fishing, refers to the traditional method of catching fish from natural water bodies like rivers, lakes, and coastal areas without using artificial breeding techniques. In Pakistan, this practice holds significant cultural and economic value, especially in regions like Sindh and Punjab where river systems are abundant.
Local fishermen in Pakistan often use small boats and traditional nets for capture fishing. This method is not only a source of livelihood but also a part of their heritage, passed down through generations. The fish caught are typically sold in local markets or consumed within communities, supporting food security.
However, overfishing and environmental changes pose challenges to sustainable capture fishing. Efforts are being made to balance traditional practices with conservation to preserve this important aspect of Pakistani culture. |
