In India, electric fishing devices are strictly regulated and their manufacture or use is illegal under the Fisheries Act. However, for educational purposes, we can discuss the basic components that were historically used in traditional fishing methods.
Local Indian manufacturers produce various electrical components that could be theoretically used in fishing equipment. These include small generators, transformers, and battery systems commonly available in markets like Delhi\“s Chandni Chowk or Mumbai\“s Lamington Road.
Traditional Indian fishing communities have always used sustainable methods like net fishing and line fishing. Modern regulations emphasize protecting aquatic ecosystems and preventing the harmful effects of electric fishing on marine life.
Indian companies such as Crompton Greaves and Havells produce electrical equipment that meets safety standards, but these are intended for legitimate industrial and domestic use, not for creating electric fishing machines. |
