A fishing net or fishnet is a net that is used for fishing. Fishing nets are meshes usually formed by knotting a relatively thin thread. Modern nets are usually made of artificial polyamides like nylon, although nets of organic polyamides such as wool or silk thread were common until recently and are still used. A trawl is a large net, conical in shape, designed to be towed in the sea or along the sea bottom. The trawl is pulled through the water by one or more boats, called trawlers. The activity of pulling the trawl through the water is called trawling. Gillnet, the name of the net employed, illustrates the method used to snare target fish. They try to swim through deliberately sized mesh openings but are unable to squeeze through swimming forward. Once in this position, they are prevented from backing netting is a fishing technique where nets, called drift nets, are allowed to drift free in a sea or lake. Usually a drift net is a gill net with floats attached to a rope along the top of the net, and weights attached to another rope along the foot of the net. Drift nets can range in length from 25m to miles. Nets of up to 50km have been set in recent times. Because drift nets are not anchored to the sea bottom or connected to a boat, they are sometimes lost in storms and become ghost nets rusty chain link trawler harbour nylon fishing net orange float green trawl drift weave ropr cable hoop loop ring mesh catch colour color fishing fish boat European Union Exterior outside public place marine places maritime tide tidal in traditional high trawlers drifters quaint North Sea inshore fishing site boat offshore fishing boat houses village historical heritage history travel commercial quayside piers village houses berth berthed attraction sight vessels small rural cottage stone traditional built buildings building dwelling housing heritage tradition waterfront water sea tourist tourism visitor atlantic
