Charfia fishing is a traditional fishing technique found on the Kerkennah Islands in Tunisia. The method depends on the hydrographic conditions of the area in terms of the topography of the seabed, and the natural resources available in it.
In general, it is a fixed fisheries system that is installed mostly between the months of September and June of each year. Charfia fishing requires a lot of knowledge about the the topography of the seabed and sea currents, and it is the main fishing technique used in the islands, making it a common factor for all the inhabitants.
