fishing nets
Trawlers' mesh gear
Fishing nets are mesh structures used to catch fish and other aquatic creatures.
The design varies by purpose—from small hand-held nets for scooping to massive seine nets dragged behind boats.
The harbor was lined with fishermen mending their fishing nets.
Gill nets, trawl nets, and cast nets each work differently but share the basic principle of entangling or enclosing fish.
