In Marathi, the word for fishing is \“मासेमारी\“ （māsēmārī）, which refers to the activity of catching fish from water bodies. This traditional practice holds significant cultural and economic importance in Maharashtra\“s coastal regions and riverine areas.
India offers various fishing equipment that are popular among local fishermen. Traditional fishing nets known as \“जाळी\“ （jāḷī） are widely used, along with bamboo fishing rods called \“काठ्या\“ （kāṭhyā）. The fishing hooks, referred to as \“अंकुश\“ （aṅkuśa）, come in different sizes suitable for various fish species found in Indian waters.
Modern fishing gear available in Indian markets includes nylon fishing lines, fiberglass fishing rods, and mechanized fishing boats. These products are manufactured by several Indian companies and are exported to various countries, contributing significantly to India\“s marine product industry. |
