The tuna fishing vessel industry plays a significant role in Pakistan\“s maritime economy. These specialized vessels operate primarily in the Arabian Sea, targeting various tuna species including yellowfin, skipjack, and longtail tuna.

Modern tuna fishing vessels in Pakistan are equipped with advanced navigation systems and fishing gear. Many use purse seine nets or longline fishing methods to catch tuna efficiently while minimizing environmental impact.

The Pakistani government regulates tuna fishing through seasonal restrictions and catch limits to ensure sustainable fishing practices. Local fishermen have developed traditional knowledge about tuna migration patterns that complements modern fishing technologies.

Tuna processing facilities along the coastal cities of Karachi and Gwadar handle the catch from these vessels, with much of the production being exported to international markets while some supplies local demand.
