2. Pulling out the fishes caught

Description:: The waters off the coast of Mumbai, located in the Arabian Sea, are rich in marine biodiversity and support a diverse range of fish species. Some of the various types of fish commonly caught in these waters include the Kingfish, also known as surmai, mackerel (bangda), pomfret (paplet), Bombay duck (bombil), sardines (tarli), red snapper (rane), cuttlefish (kanphoda), and prawns (jhinga).

3. Venturing into the sea at dawn

Description:: Koli fishermen venture to sea when it is still dark, usually around 5 am, taking advantage of the high tide and reaching their netting points before sunrise. The tide plays a crucial role as fewer fish are caught during low tide, while high tide brings an abundant catch.

4. A Koli man makes his way to a Ganapati shrine

Additionally, boat owners and operators may need to obtain licenses or permits to operate their vessels legally. These licenses may include fishing permits, vessel registration certificates, and crew licenses.

6. Pulling up the nets

Description:: Along with the target fish, the nets also end up with bycatch. Jellyfish are a common bycatch and are removed from the nets immediately because they have a poisonous sting.

7. Lights guiding the Kolis

Description:: On the open sea, fishermen are guided by LED lights placed on buoys that indicate the presence of a net. The lights also serve to designate areas where nets have already been deployed so that others do not place nets in the vicinity.

10. Laying down the nets in open sea

Description:: After waiting a few hours, depending on the weather and other factors, the nets are hauled, and boats return by noon. Larger trawlers, which have bigger nets, remain at sea for several days and leave their nets in the sea overnight.
