Young Brunette Girl Posing With A Fishing Net

• Coracle fishing
Coracle fishing is performed by two men, each seated in a coracle, plying his paddle with one hand and holding a shared net with the other. When a fish is caught, each hauls up his end of the net until the two coracles are brought to touch and the fish is secured.
• Chinese nets
The Chinese fishing nets (Cheena vala) are used at Kochi in India. They are an example of shore operated lift nets because they are held horizontally by a large fixed structure and periodically lowered into the water. Huge mechanical contrivances hold out horizontal nets with diameters of twenty metres or more. The nets are dipped into the water and raised again, but otherwise cannot be moved.
