Pukat kikis/ambit (small beach seine with no cod-end)
Like the paguyut, kikis/ambit is operated
from the beach; but the latter is of a smaller size and has no
cod-end. Kikis/ambit is about 64 to 91 m and thus requires only
two or three men in its operation. The mesh size is around 25.4
to 31.7 mm. The same method of operation as the paguyut does apply
here except that no boat is required. One fisherman has only to
wade into the water up to his chin and then to wade back some
distance away from the first end, making a letter “C”.
The catches include engraulids (pusu), whiting (usus), lactarids
(kelapa-kelapa), and mugillids (kembura).
