Fishing
The Maldives is a garland of islands scattered across the Indian ocean. Historians do not know when our ancestors first settled on the islands. However, historical evidence shows that the Maldivian civilization is over 3000 years old. Great empires across the globe rose and fell, and the Maldives remained strong. The Maldivians persevered and flourished in the middle of the vast Indian ocean for one important reason: the expertise of our fishermen and the blessings of abundant oceans.
The Maldivian reefs are home to a variety of marine animals, such as snappers, groupers, emperors, reef jacks, and, of course, reef sharks. Non invertebrates such as sea cucumbers, lobsters, giant clams and black corals also take part in the dance of life beneath the waters. As you venture into the deep blue ocean, you can find the most important fish for Maldivians, tuna. Skipjack tuna and yellowfin tuna play an important role in the lives and livelihood of Maldivians..
The fishing industry employs a significant portion of the Maldivian workforce. It is the second largest industry in Maldives, second only to the tourism industry. Historically, the Maldives exported dried tuna to neighboring countries. In Sri Lanka, the famous ‘Maldives fish’ is a key ingredient in a variety of cuisines. In 1979, the Maldivian government created the Maldives Industrial Fisheries company, which processed and exported frozen and canned tuna to the global market. Since then, Maldivian fish exports are considered as some of the freshest, delicious and sought after fish products in the world.
