10.6   Barrier Net (Ebb-tide bamboo stake trap)

                   This trap is usually set on tidal flats, or on a sand bar at the mouth of a river, or along the shoreline at about one meter depth. Bamboo stakes are placed at 2-3 meters intervals in a semi-circular shape near the shore. It is provided with bamboo braces to withstand the tidal currents. A terminal pound is installed at the central part of the circular structure.

                   During the highest tide, the fishermen will set the nylon net 210d/6, 16 mm. mesh size or polyethylene netting along the semicircular structure and the terminal pound. After the lowest tide fishermen will check along the net and the terminal pound to see if some fish have been gilled or impounded.
