fishing net
Angler's mesh bag
A fishing net is a mesh of cord or fiber used to catch fish.
Nets vary from small hand-held devices to massive commercial seines stretching hundreds of meters.
The design—mesh size, weight, floats—depends on the target species and method: cast nets, gill nets, trawl nets.
