Description:
Fixed gillnets consist of a sheet of network stretched on stakes fixed into the ground, generally in rivers or where the sea ebbs and flows, for entangling and catching the fish. Drift nets are nets which are not anchored. They are usually gillnets, and are commonly used in the coastal waters of many countries.
