1.Seining

- Method is used to catch pelagic and anadromous/migratory fish which swim in shoals.

- A Bag like nets with small meshes (seine) attached to two boats on each end is cast into the sea.

- It’s kept open and held in position by floats on top and weights at the bottom.

- Fish move towards the net and get trapped.

- The net is hauled over and fish emptied onto the ship or the net is hauled to the shore (haul seining).

- Leads to overfishing because it doesn’t discriminate the ages of fish caught.

Trawling

- Mainly used to catch demersal fish.

- A bag shaped net is attached to a trawler (ship) is is cast into deep waters

- The upper part is kept open by floats and lower part kept down by weights.

- The net is dragged by the trawler along the sea bed.

- The trawl net sweeps in the fish.

- The net is hauled into the trawler and the fish is emptied on board.

- Also catches immature fish.

Line Fishing

-The method is used to catch demersal fish.

- Fishing boats spread out long line with several baited hooks on them.

- Floats keep the lines suspended and also show the fishermen where the lines are.

- Baited hooks catch the fish as they compete to feed.

- Hooks are drawn and fish unhooked and put in refrigerated containers
