2. Raft Lift Net

    This gear is mainly used in the estuaries and lagoons throughout the country. The construction of the gear consists of one square or rectangular netting made of nylon multifilament or minnow net with a mesh size of 4 - 8 mm. The netting has four comers tied to a bamboo or wooden frame, which is cross-shaped. The net is lifted or set down through the lifting and setting structure of the frame. The target species of this fishery are shrimp, thryssa and other trash fish.

     The Raft lift net can be set in position without movement, or may be put on a floating raft, which is movable. The lift net is lifted and dropped over a certain period of time depending on the number of fish caught in the net.
