Fishing Methods Oceans 11
Lobster Traps • A lobster first enters the trap. • After successfully entering through one of these doors the lobster enters the kitchen where the bait is tied. • When a lobster tries to escape from the kitchen it is led through another door into the parlor. • Small vents in the parlor allow undersize lobsters to escape, but larger lobsters are stuck there to await their fate.
Jigging • Jigging is a common tactic for many species that spend some or all of their lives in relatively shallow salt water. • Once the jig is cast, anglers normally allow the jig to flutter naturally to the bottom. • it should be kept in motion during the retrieve, whether in an up-and-down jigging motion or slow, steady swimming motion.
Oyster Tonging • Hand tonging is hard, slow work. • Sometimes each "lick" of the tongs brings up only a few oysters. • Most of the oyster harvest from the Chesapeake is taken with hand tongs.
Gill Nets • The nets are used mainly by fishing fleets from Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, to catch squid, salmon and tuna in the North and South Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. • The nets are often put into the sea at night, where they drift with the current, catching and killing anything that gets in their way. • In December 1989 the United Nations recommended that all drift/gill net fishing be phased out by 1992.
Long Lining • Deep-sea long-liners are big, able boats ranging from 50 ft to more than 100 ft in length. • The long-liner operates by setting lines many hundreds of meters in length, anchored and buoyed at each end, with shorter lines and baited hooks tied to the main lines. • Bottom fish (cod, haddock, halibut) and pelagic fish (swordfish, tuna, shark) are caught on long lines.
Bottom Trawling • The net is held open by a solid metal beam, attached to two "shoes", which are solid metal plates, welded to the ends of the beam, which slide over and disturb the seabed. • This method is mainly used on smaller vessels, fishing for flatfish or prawns, relatively close inshore.
