net fishing
Catching with webbing
Net fishing is the practice of catching fish using nets rather than hooks, traps, or spears.
Methods range from small hand-held dip nets to massive commercial seines and trawls.
The village has relied on net fishing for generations.
Regulations often restrict net fishing to protect fish populations and reduce bycatch.
