Fishing in Maldives: An Unforgettable Experience

Thursday, October 28, 2010 Maldives Live


It is not only an occupation, not just an amusement; it is the ‘lifeblood’ of Maldives and it is fishing that we are talking about. The deep connection of fishing to the beginning of the Maldivian connection, indeed, vivifies Maldives’ charm. The history of Maldives indicates that this Marine Life Paradise was first discovered by fishermen, who were looking for an abundant source of underwater marine life. Now it is the second main industry of the nation and is supported by the Government, actively. Several initiatives of liberalization and deregulation have been undertaken to increase export and invite more foreign investments. Both on commercial and recreational basis, fishing is considered to be an integral part of Maldives’ social mainstream.

Some Facts:
  • Fishing industry contributes 20% share to the GDP, and 10% of the population is employed in this occupation.
  • Presently, the entire fishing fleet of the nation comprises of over 1500 small fishing boats called ‘dhoni’. Most of them have been mechanized for increasing efficiency.
  • The Exclusive Economic Zone of Maldives covers around 9,00,000 square kilometers, where special fishing rights are granted.

The most common catches are Tuna, Groupers, Dolphin Fishes, Barracuda, Rainbow runner etc. The different types of fisheries include:
  • Reef Fisheries: Fishery for reef fish and other organisms which are sheltered by coral reefs
  • Pelagic Fisheries: For fishes found in the open ocean, like small schooling forage fish and larger predators like Tuna and Ocean Sharks
  • Mariculture: Inland culture of marine organisms in sea water like pearls, giant clams and spiny lobsters

    • But fishing in Maldives is not only a commercial activity among the locals; the frenzy escalates with fishing as a recreational activity for tourists. The turquoise water, the sun-soaked bright white beaches and the tropical weather makes Maldives an incredible fishing park. Most of the resorts organize fishing trips that generally end with a wonderful barbecue dinner under the tranquil dark sky. All you need to do is get into your comfy casuals, grab your fishing rod and get on your special ride (here, boat) to experience some delirious moments with the tuna, groupers, dolphin fishes, barracuda, rainbow runner, emperors, trevally and many blue water superstars around. To add more excitement, showcase your sleight at the two most popular fishing tours-

  • Big Game Fishing and
  • Night fishing

    • Prognosticate the weather, discern and choose a location and you can advance towards catching big fishes like sailfish, yellow tuna, marlin, barracuda, wahoo and many other big fishes. The Big Game Fishing is generally excursed out of the atolls and the mornings suit the sport better. You can hire the boat and/ or all the latest fishing equipments from your resort or dive school in Maldives, but before going for the fun, make sure you gather information about the fishing norms, protected fishing areas and the best fishing territories. It is a real treat when it comes to night fishing in Maldives. Amidst nature’s nocturnal splendor, the excursion becomes a fascinating experience with the soothing music of waves and the dreamy night view. But, this time as well, you have to be obedient with the norms in Maldives. The Government strictly prohibits using harpoon gun and hunting whales and dolphins. However, you can definitely enjoy catching snappers, emperors, barracuda, squirrel fish and jacks.
    So, what are you imagining? Already draped in your fishing kits?
