Description
The coastal location of Karwar lends to fishing and fisheries which are concentrated in Harikanth, Konkan Kharvis, Gabiths and Ambigas. The common types of fish are mackerel, sardines, crabs, clams, seerfish and prawns. Fishing is done from land with nets or from boats such as ''pandy'' (motor launch) and ''dhoni'' (dug out canoes). There is also mechanised trawling. The brackish water of the Kali estuary is suitable for prawn farming.
