Röski

Röski is a term that primarily refers to a type of fishing net used in various parts of the world. These nets are typically constructed from a strong, flexible material, often twine or cord, and are designed to be cast or dragged through the water to catch fish. The specific design and method of deployment can vary significantly depending on the region, the target species, and local fishing traditions.

In some contexts, röski may describe a specific type of seine net or a hand-operated net. The term is not universally recognized and its usage can be localized. Descriptions of röski often highlight its simplicity and effectiveness for smaller-scale or artisanal fishing operations. The materials used are usually durable and resistant to the marine environment.

The practice of using röski nets is often passed down through generations, forming an integral part of coastal communities' livelihoods and cultural heritage. Information about specific röski techniques or regional variations can be scarce in broader literature, often residing within the knowledge of experienced fishermen. The term's etymology may be linked to specific languages or dialects where it originated.
