China ring fishing nets are widely used in Indian coastal regions for traditional fishing practices. These circular nets with weighted edges are thrown by hand to capture fish in shallow waters.
Local fishermen in states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat prefer these nets due to their durability and effectiveness. The nets feature brass or lead rings that help them sink quickly and form a perfect circle when thrown.
Indian manufacturers have adapted the Chinese design to suit local fishing conditions, using stronger synthetic materials that withstand tropical waters. The nets are particularly popular for catching small to medium-sized fish in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas.
Many fishing communities in India continue to use these traditional nets alongside modern fishing equipment, preserving centuries-old fishing techniques while incorporating improved materials from Chinese manufacturing. |
