shrimp trawling
Dragging for crustaceans
Shrimp trawling is a commercial fishing method that drags large cone-shaped nets along the ocean floor to catch shrimp.
The practice is controversial for its bycatch—the unintended capture of sea turtles, fish, and other marine life.
Shrimp trawling accounts for a significant portion of global bycatch.
Turtle excluder devices are now required in many fisheries.
