Chinese Fishing Nets are large, stationary fishing devices traditionally used along the coast of Kochi, India. They consist of a square-shaped net attached to a wooden frame, which is operated by a system of ropes and weights. Fishermen lower the net into the water and then pull it up to catch fish. These nets are believed to have been introduced by Chinese traders in the 14th century. They are not only functional but also serve as a popular tourist attraction, showcasing the unique fishing techniques and cultural heritage of the region.
