The fishing industry in Pakistan can be broadly categorized into three main types: marine fishing, inland fishing, and aquaculture. Marine fishing involves catching fish from the Arabian Sea along Pakistan\“s coastline, which includes species like pomfret, shrimp, and tuna. This sector supports coastal communities and contributes significantly to exports.

Inland fishing takes place in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs such as the Indus River and Manchar Lake. Common catches include rohu, catla, and mahseer, providing livelihoods for rural populations and serving local markets.

Aquaculture, or fish farming, is a growing sector in Pakistan, focusing on species like tilapia and carp. It helps meet domestic demand and supports sustainable practices, with farms often located in Punjab and Sindh provinces.
