Jersey fishing refers to the traditional fishing practices and products originating from the coastal regions of India. India has a rich maritime heritage with fishing being an important economic activity in coastal states like Kerala, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal.
Local Indian fishing products include various types of fishing nets made from natural fibers, traditional fishing boats known as \“kattumaram\“ or catamarans, and handmade fishing hooks. These products are crafted using age-old techniques passed down through generations of fishing communities.
Indian fishing jerseys, also known as fishing shirts or protective clothing, are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. They are typically made from breathable cotton fabrics that provide protection from the sun while allowing freedom of movement during fishing activities.
The fishing industry in India also produces specialized equipment like fishing rods, lines, and bait that are adapted to local fishing conditions. Many of these products are exported internationally, contributing significantly to India\“s marine product exports. |
