Surrounding nets

3. Panau (Ring net for black pomfret)
     The gear is used in the coastal areas usually towards the other end of Seria. The FADs are first set up to aggregate all the fish caught a few days earlier. Before the operation takes place, a man dives into the water at the FAD and serves as a substitute for the FAD as the fish (black pomfret) swim to him. The diver then brings them to another place. The gear is set up around the man, and rings are pulled together to trap the pomfrets.
