A dragnet consists of a pocket net, wing net, ropes, sinkers and floats. The nets are generally made of cotton or nylon with cotton ropes. Depending on the area of fishing and the type of the fish to be caught, their lengths, depths and mesh sizes may vary from place to place. It has got different names in different places of the country, such as ‘Ber Jal’ in Orissa, ‘Maha Jal’ and ‘Kona Jal’ in Bihar and Bengal. The ‘Ber Jal’ of Orissa and ‘Alvi’ of Andhra Pradesh are almost the same. |
