Scoop nets

1. Tanggok (Scoop net)
     This gear is made of fine mesh netting mounted on a C-shaped bamboo frame with a handle in the middle (Figure 26). This gear is being used by the Batu Marang fishermen while onboard a boat for catching Acetes spp. or sergestid shrimps along mangrove fringes. The species locally called “bubuk”, is popular for preparing belacan or shrimp paste. The gear is operated along a fence like structure or barrier called the sawar (Figure 27) that usually blocks the path of the shrimps as they are carried by the water current due to tidal change.
