Gill nets

4. Rantau (drift gill net)
     This gear is made of nylon and is operated at night (Figure 16). One end of the net is attached to the boat while the other is illuminated with a kerosene lamp. The latter serves as a warning light to passing vessels to enable them to keep away from the net.
