Watch how seafood is caught

The methods of catching seafood can vary depending on the type of seafood and the location. However, some common methods include fishing with nets, traps, and hooks.

In fishing with nets, a large net is dragged through the water to catch fish or other sea creatures. The net can be cast from a boat or deployed from the shore. The size and type of net used can vary depending on the size of the catch and the desired target species.

Traps are another common method for catching seafood. These can be baited with fish or other attractants and left in the water to catch crustaceans such as lobsters and crabs. The traps are usually retrieved by pulling up a line attached to a buoy that marks their location.

Hooks and lines are used to catch larger fish such as tuna or swordfish. These can be caught by trolling a line behind a moving boat or by setting lines with baited hooks and waiting for the fish to bite.

Regardless of the method used, it is important that sustainable fishing practices are followed to ensure that the seafood population remains healthy and abundant for future generations. This can include limiting catch sizes, avoiding overfishing, and minimizing bycatch of non-target species.
