Fishing in Pakistan\“s coastal regions requires understanding tidal patterns for successful catches. The Arabian Sea experiences semi-diurnal tides with two high and two low tides daily.
Local fishermen in Karachi, Gwadar, and Ormara have developed traditional knowledge about tide cycles. Spring tides during full and new moons provide the best fishing conditions, while neap tides yield smaller catches.
Traditional wooden boats called \“houris\“ are used by Sindhi and Balochi fishermen who time their departures with outgoing tides and returns with incoming tides. This practice has been passed down through generations.
During monsoon season, tide patterns change significantly, and experienced fishermen adjust their schedules accordingly. The Makran Coastal Highway has made fishing villages more accessible while preserving traditional fishing methods. |
