They are mostly found around Kochi in the Indian state of Kerala. Large mechanical structure is at least 10 m high and comprises a cantilever net suspended over the sea and big stones suspended from ropes as counterweights at the other end. Each of these structures is operated by a team of up to six fishermen.
