In India, various traditional and modern fishing gears are used to catch fish in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Common types include gill nets, which are vertical nets that trap fish by their gills, and cast nets, thrown by hand to cover a small area. Other gears like trawls are used in deeper waters for large-scale fishing, while hooks and lines are popular among local fishermen for their simplicity. These tools help support the livelihoods of many communities and are adapted to India\“s diverse aquatic environments. |
