- FGT Fishing Gear Type
- Definition
- A net consisting of two long warps made from wire or polyethylene ropes with a lead core, separated by containment tet at mid-length; the length of warps can be as long as 3000 metres in some large fishing vessels.
- Description
- During deployment, the fishing vessel lays a marker buoy, and then pays-out the first warp, then the net and the second warp. The gear is laid out in a triangular fashion on the seafloor. When the fishing vessel returns to the marker buoy, forward hauling commences. As the warps move across the seabed, fish are herded inward into the path of the net.
