Major fish species caught by fishermen are Dohtar, Aal, Kalancho (Ghisr), Bangra and
Gund. Apart from fish, fishermen also collect sea shells and lobsters and sell them in
Karachi. According to some fishermen they are not allowed to catch lobsters as fishermen of
Pasni do not let them. If any boat from Sindh is caught having lobsters fishermen of Pasni
take all of it without paying them. Thus fishermen sell fish catch in Pasni while lobsters and
sea shells in Karachi. The average fish catch of different species in a month by a boat is
given in Table 7. The amount of fish caught by a boat is variable and it depends on the
fishing season. For example, according to the information provided by fishermen Dohtar is
available from August to May however its fish catch increases from September to January
