Fishing industry in Scotland shoal of herring with a net and then pulling the ring tight to trap them. Before the 1880s, long-lining was the usual method used to catch white fish such as cod, halibut, saithe, ling and flat fish which live at the bottom of the sea. It was very labour-intensive but resulted in a high quality catch. Small line fishing was a family affair with women and children responsible for preparing the equipment. This was a line, up to a mile in length, to which were attached snoods or shorter pieces of line which were baited with fish or shellfish. Great
Fishing industry in Brunei net ("rantau") hangs from buoys ("patau") which float on the surface of the water. This method of fishing is used to catch fish like "tamban" (sardines) which swim in shoals near the surface. Drift net fishing usually takes place at night and in the early morning, and is an offshore fishing method. In deep seat trawling, the net is dragged along the sea bed using the fishing boats called "trawlers". This technique is used both for inshore and offshore commercial fisheries. A "bubu" is a large box- or conical-shaped trap used to catch large fish like red snapper and grouper.
