Fishing and Other Net Products in Australia

The Most Common Fishing Techniques

Fishing is both a recreational and commercial activity that involves catching fish and other sea creatures such as mollusks, crustaceans and echinoderms. There are different techniques in fishing and some of the most common are the following:

• Hand Fishing. It is the gathering of fish and other aquatic animals using ones hand with or making use of only the most basic equipment. This technique could be as simple as picking shellfish along the beach and digging parts of the sea surface for clamps and crabs.
• Spear Fishing. Spear fishing is probably one of the oldest techniques in fishing. It makes use of a spear or a variant of the spear such as harpoon, trident or arrow to catch fish. This technique is commonly employed in catching fish in shallow water.
• Netting. This is the most widely practiced method in commercial fishing. Unlike the two techniques given above, this method could catch fishes more efficiently, gathering a large number of marine animals in less effort.
• Angling. This method of fishing uses a hook or an angle. The hook used is tied in a line and sinks underwater with the help of a sinker. Fishing with the use of a rod also falls into this category.
• Trapping. Fish trap structures are of two types: permanent and semi-permanent. These baited traps are placed in a river to attract prey and are lifted after some time to harvest the trapped fishes.
