Fishing traps are traditional tools widely used in India for catching fish in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. These traps are often handmade from local materials like bamboo, wood, or nets, and they come in various designs such as basket traps, stake nets, and fixed enclosures. In regions like Kerala and West Bengal, fishermen employ these traps to sustainably harvest fish without harming the ecosystem. The methods have been passed down through generations, reflecting India\“s rich cultural heritage in fishing. Additionally, modern adaptations incorporate eco-friendly materials to enhance durability and reduce environmental impact, supporting local livelihoods while preserving aquatic biodiversity. |
