Hook and line

Horizontal longlines (Khmer name Santouch Ro Noung)

       This is the simplest of fishing gears and requires only a line and a baited hook. The line is equipped with hooks which may be single or multiple, big or small depending on the species desired. These fishing gears are commonly used in Sihanoukville and Koh Kong (Tab. 16).
