1. Paguyut (large beach seine with cod-end)
     This gear is usually operated near the beaches. It requires about 6 to 10 people to operate. The operation starts by setting the net off the shore by a small boat. Then the net is pulled towards the beach when sufficient amount of fish is present along the path of the net. The gear is brought back to the beach some distance away from the first end of the beach. The fishermen standing at strategic positions then pull the net back to the beach, making sure that the fish do not escape and instead enter the cod-end. The gear itself (see Figure 9) is not necessarily very long (about 273 to 455 m). Only the ropes from the net to the beach need to be quite long. The mesh size is around 76.2 mm on the main body and about 25.4 to 31.7 mm at the cod end. The catches are usually pony fish. The use of this gear is an old method and is seldom operated in Brunei Darussalam waters.
