• Chinese Fishing Nets - Known locally as Cheena vala, these stationary lift nets are a distinctive feature in India. They are fixed land installations used for fishing, commonly referred to as Chinese fishing nets in India, though their formal name is shore-operated lift nets. These large mechanical structures extend horizontal nets over 20 meters wide. Each setup is at least 10 meters tall, featuring a cantilever with a net suspended over the sea and large stones as counterweights, operated by a team of up to six fishermen. While prevalent in coastal southern China and Indochina, in India, they are primarily found in Kochi and Kollam, where they have become a tourist attraction. This fishing method is rare in India and almost unique to the region, introduced by Chinese explorers in the 14th century. One interpretation of the name Kochi is ‘co-chin,’ meaning like China.
