2. Semi-stationary
traps
2.1.
Kabat (tidal weir)
This gear is used at the mudflats around the mangrove
fringe areas (see Figure 19). It is made
of polyethylene net some with 25.4 mm mesh size and are usually
mounted on wooden poles and set up like a fence forming a
letter “C” around a mangrove fringe area during
high tide. Formerly the gear is made of woven bamboo but now
is replaced by PA monofilament netting material that can sometimes
be set to about 400 meters in length covering wider mangrove
fringes. The catches usually consist of both shrimp and fish
that are picked up on the mudflats during low tide.
