In India, various traditional fishing gear types are used to catch fish in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. These include gill nets, cast nets, and traps made from local materials like bamboo and coir. Gill nets are commonly used in inland waters to catch fish by entangling them, while cast nets are thrown by hand to cover a small area. Traps, such as the \“koodu\“ in South India, are designed to lure and capture fish. These gear types are eco-friendly and support sustainable fishing practices in local communities. |
