Fishing methods

Hook ’n’ Line stands for selective longline fishing, where the quality of the individual fish is of particular importance.

Ring netting is mainly used for pelagic fish and allows for efficient catches without contact with the seabed.

Gill nets are a traditional and often coastal fishing method that plays an important role, particularly in artisanal fisheries.

Flyshoot stands for a modern form of seine net fishing, which combines targeted catches and high-quality goods.

Trawling is a powerful fishing method whose assessment largely depends on the fishing area, fishing gear, and responsible implementation.

Dredges are primarily used for harvesting mussels, oysters, and other shellfish from the seabed.

Traps are static fishing gears, mainly used for crustaceans such as lobsters, crabs and crayfish.

Ike-Jime is not a classic catching method, but rather a particularly careful slaughter and processing method for preserving fish quality.
