prawning
Netting small shellfish
Prawning is the activity of catching prawns, either commercially or recreationally.
In some regions, particularly Australia and Southeast Asia, it refers to fishing for prawns at night using lights to attract them: We went prawning off the jetty last night.
The term parallels fishing, crabbing, and shrimping.
