Gill Netting Helps Fishermen to Catch More Fishes

Gill netting is an effective way to catch fishes. It is set in a straight line to form a vertical panels of netting. The gill netting is nearly invisible, so when the fishes swim into a net, they will be caught, when it struggles to get free, the thin wire may trap the fish in it. The fish may be caught by the gill netting in three ways: caught by teeth, caught by opercula or caught by body.

The specs of the gill netting is very strict. It is closely monitored and regulated by fisheries management.
