Ancestral Fishing Practices

Ancestral fishing practices refer to the traditional methods used by indigenous and ancient communities to catch fish using techniques passed down through generations. These methods often include hand-catching, trap-setting, and the use of simple tools like nets and spears. Such practices are closely linked to local ecosystems and cultural traditions, emphasizing sustainability and respect for nature. They reflect a deep understanding of fish behavior and environmental cycles, enabling communities to harvest food while maintaining healthy fish populations for future generations.
