Which Persian Gulf countries developed large commercial fishing industries?

In the Persian Gulf region, large commercial fishing industries have been established in Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain.1

While fishing was a traditional mainstay of the region's economy prior to the discovery of oil, it has since become highly commercialized. In Kuwait, for instance, the industry remains significant today through organizations such as the United Fisheries of Kuwait, with shrimp serving as a notable export commodity. Additionally, the government of Oman has actively encouraged the development of commercial fishing by providing infrastructure such as boats, motors, cold-storage facilities, and transportation to support its fisheries.123
